Two dogs at mealtime, one eating and one drinking

Dog one finishes dinner and heads straight for the water bowl. Slurp, slurp, drip.

Dog two follows, and finds soggy kibble floating in the water.

Two dogs, one bowl. It sounds efficient. It usually isn't.

Shared bowls get dirty twice as fast

Two dogs means twice the slobber, twice the fur and twice the crumbs in one small bowl.

The American Kennel Club warns that shared water bowls can spread bacteria between dogs.

And a bowl shared by two dogs runs low twice as fast, often while you're out.

Fresh water for both, all day

The American Kennel Club explains that fountains keep water circulating through a filter, so it stays fresher.

A WoofWell holds 2.2 litres and filters out fur and food as it flows. Better yet, two fountains give each dog its own spot, so nobody drinks the other's leftovers.

The short version

Two dogs fill one bowl with twice the mess.
Shared bowls can spread bacteria.
A shared bowl runs dry twice as fast.
Two fountains give each dog clean water of its own.

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.
