Highlighted Reviews
"I am still using the original pump. This fountain is easy to clean and the kiddos have liked it since day one. I admit I only change the filters monthly, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem."
"I've had this fountain for over a year and I've finally had enough. I have had to replace the pump 5 times. A couple times the pump straight up just stopped working after only a few weeks if use. The other times the pump would produce an insufferable rattling noise both my cat and I didn't like."
Bottom Line
This fountain is a solid option for pet owners looking for a stylish and easy-to-clean water source, but be prepared for pump issues.
