I got the Drinkwell stainless multi pet fountain and my dog was not so sure at first but she seemed to come around. She drinks out of the fountain and I’m glad because it is good for her digestive system and reducing germs. She does however sometimes tend to play in the fountain effect and get water in the floor but that is her own behavior, no fault of the fountain. Nothing that a mat or towel cannot fix. All together I feel it’s a great product!
