An owner about to leave home while their dog watches

Keys. Phone. Wallet. Lunch.

You run through the list on autopilot every morning. Then you rush out the door.

Did you check your dog's water? Not just glanced at it. Actually checked it's fresh, clean and enough for the whole day?

The bowl has to last all day

When you leave for work, that bowl is your dog's only water for eight hours or more.

A small bowl can be knocked over or emptied. On hot days, the PDSA reminds owners that fresh water is essential.

And water that sits all day collects fur, dust and slobber. The American Kennel Club warns unwashed bowls can build up bacteria.

A water check that takes one second

The WoofWell holds 2.2 litres, enough for a long day. Its lit window shows the level at a glance, so your morning check takes one second.

The water keeps moving through a filter pad all day, so it's still fresh when you get home.

The short version

Your dog's water has to last until you're home.
Small bowls can be emptied or knocked over.
Still water gets dirty as the day goes on.
A 2.2 L fountain with a lit window makes the check easy.

Quick answers before you decide

Will my dog actually use it? Most pets are curious about moving water straight away. Some take a few days. Put it somewhere quiet, keep the old bowl nearby for the first few days, and let your dog choose.

Is it noisy? No. The pump runs at about 30 dB. That's quieter than a whisper, so it won't keep anyone up at night.

Is it a pain to clean? Not at all. Rinse the steel bowl once a week and swap the filter pad every 3 to 4 weeks. There are no hidden corners for slime to hide in.

What does it plug into? It runs on a USB cable, so it works with any phone charger plug you already have.
