By using a free-falling stream of water, the Big Dog Fountain continually aerates your pet's water with healthful oxygen. A charcoal filter also removes bad tastes and odors, giving your pet the best possible - and most appealing - way to stay hydrated! The Drinkwell Fountain is designed, approved, and recommended by veterinarians, particularly for pets prone to urinary tract disorders. This fountain will save trips to the vet by giving your pet this innovative constant access to running water. Not only does the Drinkwell Fountain encourage your pet to drink more water (helping discourage urinary tract disorders), but it also comes with a replaceable charcoal filter. The Drinkwell Fountain clean the water for your pet, giving you peace of mind knowing their water is fresh and healthy. The Drinkwell Fountain takes just minutes to install. It comes with detailed easy-to-read instructions. It also comes with a 6-foot power cord that plugs into any outlet making it easy to locate.
