Well, I had high hopes for this beauty of a fountain. I have a three year old dog who loves to drink water. I figured he would love this but unfortunately he was very afraid of it. There is no reason pets should be afraid of this but I guess my guy is a big baby. I ended up giving this to my mother who has a pug and he just loves it. What a neat idea. Why live life ordanairy and have your dog drinking out of a nasty bowl? I love that this comes with different spickets and a water filter. We love our animals so why shouldn't they feel luxurious while drinking their water!?
