enthusiastically <a href="https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/training/why-dogs-drink-from-toilet/" rel="noopener noreferrer">drink from the toilet</a> if given the opportunity? Maybe you want to encourage them to take on more fluids to prevent the risk of dehydration on hot days or to help manage a medical condition.</p> <p dir="ltr">Pet water fountains use a motorized pump and filter to provide a continually circulating, consistently cool stream of running water. They’re a popular option for cats who regularly lap from the faucet. But is it worth getting one of these devices for dogs, or is it better to stick with a <a href="https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/choosing-right-dog-bowl/" rel="noopener noreferrer">traditional dog bowl</a>?</p> <h2>Will A Pet Fountain Encourage My Dog to Drink More?</h2> <p dir="ltr">The most common praise for pet fountains is that running water encourages dogs and cats to drink more. However, don’t buy one of these bowls expecting your dog to instantly start lapping up more liquids. The anecdotal evidence supporting this hypothesis relates to cats, who drink from faucets more often.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I’m unaware of evidence supporting the theory that dogs prefer running water,” says <a href="https://www.vet.upenn.edu/people/faculty-clinician-search/CARLOSIRACUSA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Carlo Siracusa</a>, DVM, an Associate Professor of Clinical Animal Behavior and Welfare in the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. It’s also worth noting that even the limited <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1098612X18803753" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">studies on cats</a> don’t prove that using circulating water bowls significantly affects water intake.</p> <div class="media-wrap"> <img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-43909 aligncenter media-wrap__image lozad" src="https://www.akc.org/wp-content/themes/akc/component-library/assets/img/1x1.trans.gif" alt="outdoor products" width="729" height="486" data-src="https://www.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/buying-guide-outdoor-pet-fountain-1.png" data-srcset="https://www.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/buying-guide-outdoor-pet-fountain-1.png 729w, https://www.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/buying-guide-outdoor-pet-fountain-1-300x200.png 300w, https://www.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/buying-guide-outdoor-pet-fountain-1-400x267.png 400w" data-sizes="(max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px"><noscript><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-43909 aligncenter media-wrap__image" src="https://www.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/buying-guide-outdoor-pet-fountain-1.png" alt="outdoor products" width="729" height="486" srcset="https://www.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/buying-guide-outdoor-pet-fountain-1.png 729w, https://www.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/buying-guide-outdoor-pet-fountain-1-300x200.png 300w, https://www.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/buying-guide-outdoor-pet-fountain-1-400x267.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px"></noscript> <div class="media-meta"> <span class="media-credit">Amazon</span> </div> <div class="media-caption bgc-white"></div> </div> <p dir="ltr">Dr. Siracusa says various factors influence dog water drinking habits, including early experiences, diet, temperament, and environmental factors, such as health conditions and climate. This means all dogs have their own preferences, and some are drawn to running water. If your dog enjoys drinking from a garden hose, an outside tap or a park water feature, then a pet fountain may encourage them to drink more.</p> <p dir="ltr">Research does suggest <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267573501_Water_-_Dogs_like_it_cold" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">that dogs prefer drinking cool water</a>. While it’s possible to add ice cubes to your dog’s bowl or regularly refresh tepid water, a pet water fountain could be a convenient option. It’s continual water circulation helps maintain a consistent temperature.</p> <p dir="ltr">Then there’s the fact that pet fountains filter the water. While they might not remove contaminants the way under-sink, faucet-mounted or countertop filters will, they still get rid of food particles, hair and other larger debris that could make water less appealing to your dog.</p> <h2>Is a Pet Water Fountain Right For Your Dog?</h2> <p dir="ltr">A pet water fountain isn’t an essential purchase for your pet. If your dog already drinks enthusiastically from their bowl, it could just be a costly item cluttering your kitchen floor. However, if they prefer running water sources, or you just want to allow your dog to make their own choices, investing in one of these devices could be worth it.</p> <p dir="ltr">Dr. Siracusa suggests making different water sources available in multiple locations to see what your dog plumps for. “This is even more important in a <a href="https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/how-to-feed-multiple-pets-without-conflict/" rel="noopener noreferrer">multi-dog household</a>, where dogs may compete for access to resources,” he says.</p> <p dir="ltr">However, be aware that some dogs won’t be fans of pet fountains. They are bulky, and the pump generates noise, which might be off-putting—especially for <a href="https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/training/how-to-train-fearful-dog/" rel="noopener noreferrer">fearful dogs</a>. Pet water fountains also cost significantly more than traditional water bowls, their complex construction means cleaning is more of a chore, and you’ll have to change the filter regularly.</p> <p dir="ltr">Even if your dog is a fan of pet water fountains, don’t ditch their old bowl. As well as giving your dog options, keeping this clean and topped up with fresh water means it acts as a backup if you experience a power outage or the pump breaks down on the fountain.</p> <div class="media-wrap"> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-188474 aligncenter media-wrap__image lozad" src="https://www.akc.org/wp-content/themes/akc/component-library/assets/img/1x1.trans.gif" alt="Golden Retriever puppies drinking water from a bowl in the grass." width="729" height="486" data-src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn-origin-etr.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/17105209/Golden-Retriever-puppies-drinking-water-from-a-bowl-in-the-grass.jpg" data-srcset="https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn-origin-etr.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/17105209/Golden-Retriever-puppies-drinking-water-from-a-bowl-in-the-grass.jpg 729w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn-origin-etr.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/17105209/Golden-Retriever-puppies-drinking-water-from-a-bowl-in-the-grass-300x200.jpg 300w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn-origin-etr.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/17105209/Golden-Retriever-puppies-drinking-water-from-a-bowl-in-the-grass-400x267.jpg 400w" data-sizes="(max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px"><noscript><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-188474 aligncenter media-wrap__image" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn-origin-etr.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/17105209/Golden-Retriever-puppies-drinking-water-from-a-bowl-in-the-grass.jpg" alt="Golden Retriever puppies drinking water from a bowl in the grass." width="729" height="486" srcset="https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn-origin-etr.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/17105209/Golden-Retriever-puppies-drinking-water-from-a-bowl-in-the-grass.jpg 729w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn-origin-etr.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/17105209/Golden-Retriever-puppies-drinking-water-from-a-bowl-in-the-grass-300x200.jpg 300w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn-origin-etr.akc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/17105209/Golden-Retriever-puppies-drinking-water-from-a-bowl-in-the-grass-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px"></noscript> <div class="media-meta"> <span class="media-credit">Shelley L.
