I got this fountain because my dog and kitty's don't like to drink out of the same water bowl  I set this fountain up and a water bowl so they had a option. To my surprise Tuck took the first drink, then the kitty's check it out and drank from it too. I left both their for the rest of the day and know one drank from the bowl. I put it away and it's been just the fountain for a month now. Thank Premier Pet for making my life cleaner and my animal family happy. I recommended  this to the rest if my family for their pets.
