The Petmate fresh flow means you pet can have fresh, cool clean water all the time. This automatic dog waterer filters the water your pet drinks, so no more worries about bacteria in standing water. It features a flow control lever and a clear water reservoir so you can check on the water level.
Clean water is crucial to your pets’ health. Your pet can go longer without food than they can without water. The volume of water a pet needs depends on their weight. 3 cups of water a day is fine for a 15 pound pet, but a large dog might need 20 cups a day.. Even a large dog bowl filled with water could not sustain a big dog for one day. This is why the petmate fresh flow is indispensible.
The adequate amount of water varies with your pets weight. A big dog may need 20 cups of water a day while a small 15 pound dog needs 3 cups. Filling a large dog bowl with water is not a good idea. Standing water breeds bacteria, which is certainly bad for your pet. The petmate fresh flow eliminates this problem.
So a good rule is:
As long as fresh water is available your pet will only drink what they need. In the petmate fresh flow standard size you can place 50 ounces or 8 cups of water. For a small pet that is sufficient for a few days.
A large pet will need the jumbo size which holds almost 25 cups or 6.75 quarts of water. This will give a large pet an ample supply of water for a full day.
The jumbo size Petmate will be enough water for a large dog for one day. It holds almost 25 cups of water.
The Petmate fresh flow does run on electricity. It uses a quiet pump and a filter. The water you fill it with is constantly recycled through the filter so your pet always has clean water. The water cascades down a slide into the bowl. That will be the only sound you hear. Dogs like the cool water in the bowl, while cats tend to lap up water from the flowing slope.
The petmate fresh flow has non skid rubber feet so that even your large dog won’t be sliding it around.
Being a large dog owner I know what a problem this can be. When using the average large dog bowl for water my dog tends to move it while drinking, this causes water to splash all over the floor and also reduces the amount of water in his bowl. Since water is so important to your pet making sure the bowl is always full is necessary.
Knowing that your pet will have fresh clean water throughout the day is one less thing you will have to worry about. The petmate fresh flow pet fountain gives you peace of mind.
