This pet fountain is beautiful and high quality! It's heavy duty ceramic and a nice size. My dog immediately was curious and drinks out of it all the time. I do think she drinks more water now because she likes it so much! It is silent so no annoying noises. It does have to be refilled rather often because the water level is supposed to stay high, so unfortunately I can't really leave it running for hours when I'm away or it would run low on water. I love that it keeps the water cleaner.
