This fountain works well. It’s not super noisy, doesn’t leak & has ran seamlessly since we began using it. We have 3 dogs and it did take them some time to adjust to it and not be scared but it was only a day or so. They now use it regularly now. The only issue have noticed is the bowl is more shallow than their old one and they’re messy drinkers so they do splash water onto the floor more than previously but nothing substantial. The benefit of clean water outweighs the puddle on the floor.
