Fact #1. Dogs have an innate ability to quickly wrap us around their little paws. They can get us to do anything to make them happy and keep them healthy. This can include dropping a couple hundred bucks on pet supplies. So, you're forgiven if you've found yourself thinking that Fido doesn't need a fancy dog fountain. But there are some health benefits to these items that shouldn't be overlooked.
Fact #2. Dog water fountains encourage many canines to drink more often. The sound mimics that of a stream, and most animals prefer drinking out of running water to slurping from a stagnant pool. That is, unless it's toilet water. Dogs really love that stuff.
Fact #3. Many fountains use charcoal pads or other filters to purify the water as it flows. This makes it taste better. The filters remove impurities from your water before it reaches the bowl. Tasty water is water your dog is more likely to drink, which is especially important if you live in a hot, dry climate.
Fact #4. Keeping the fountain's water moving infuses it with oxygen. This can help reduce the spread of bacteria. Of course, you'll still have to clean it regularly, but it will stay sanitary for longer than a stationary bowl. You'll be glad your dog has been drinking clean water when he licks your mouth while you're yawning.
Fact #5. A general rule is that your dog should have an ounce of water per pound of body weight each day. If you know how big the drinking receptacle is, you can get a pretty good idea of how much your dog is drinking. If it's especially hot out, they might appreciate some ice cubes in there as well.
