Most fountains are sized for a household with several animals, which makes them large objects in a small kitchen. This one holds 2.2 litres, takes up about the footprint of a cereal bowl, and is made of the same stainless steel as the bigger models rather than the plastic that usually comes at this size.
Key Benefits
- Small enough to sit in a galley kitchen or a flat without dominating the floor
- Stainless bowl, so it stays cleaner for longer than a plastic one
- 2.2 litres is two or three days for a small dog
- Runs from USB, so it can share a socket with something else
- Simple to strip down for washing — fewer parts than the larger models
Best For
- Small breeds and puppies
- Flats and small kitchens
- A second water point upstairs or in a bedroom
- Anyone who has tried a plastic fountain and got tired of the smell
How It Works
Fill to the line, plug the USB in, and leave it running. The pump circulates through a filter which softens the taste of hard tap water; the filter is the consumable and needs changing on a schedule, not when you remember.
Pros and Cons
Pros: The right size for a small dog, steel rather than plastic, and cheap to run.
Cons: 2.2 litres is genuinely small — a medium dog in summer will empty it in a day and a large one in an afternoon, so this is the wrong model for anything bigger than a spaniel. It needs mains power rather than a battery, which decides where it can live, and like every fountain it is more washing-up than a bowl.
Things to Consider
- Measure the spot before you buy: small still means a permanent object on your floor
- Budget for filters
- If your dog knocks things over, check it has enough weight when nearly empty
- Prices, availability and shipping times are set by the AliExpress seller and can change
