What's Happening?
Veterinarians are recommending pet water fountains as a healthier alternative to traditional water bowls. These fountains provide fresher, cleaner water by continuously filtering and preventing bacterial growth. The Veken water fountain, currently on sale for $20, features a 5-step filtration system that purifies water and reduces scale formation. Experts highlight the importance of hydration for pets, particularly cats, who have a natural preference for running water and are susceptible to kidney disease.
Why It's Important?
Proper hydration is essential for pets' health, and water fountains can encourage increased water intake. This is particularly important for cats, who may avoid stagnant water and are at risk for kidney disease. By providing clean, appealing water, fountains can help prevent health issues such as urinary infections and diabetes. Additionally, fountains are less likely to be knocked over, reducing messes and ensuring a consistent water supply for multi-pet households.
