Amazon.com Keep your pet healthy with the Drinkwell Lotus Ceramic Pet Fountain Water is essential for supporting your pet’s important bodily functions. Giving your pet filtered, oxygenated water entices your pet to drink more and get the proper hydration essential to their health. The Drinkwell Lotus Ceramic Fountain combines hydration benefits for your pet with a stylish design that complements your home décor. Made of ceramic, this fountain is easier to clean and is more hygienic. The multiple, patented free-falling streams aerate your pet’s water with healthful oxygen, and an activated carbon filter removes bad tastes and odors, providing the best hydration solution for your pet in a modern, beautiful design for you. Is your pet dehydrated? To check if your pet is dehydrated, gently grab a loose fold of skin, either on the back of the neck or in between the shoulder blades and release. If the skin snaps back into place, your pet should be okay. If the skin slowly returns into place, your pet could be dehydrated and may need to be checked by a veterinarian. On average, your pet should drink one ounce of water per pound of weight daily. What is activated carbon? The activated carbon replacement filters are made of coconut shells. The coconut shells are put through a process called carbonization, which removes all other elements other than carbon. The carbon is then ‘activated’ by adding back oxygen, creating a material suitable for adsorption. Activated carbon absorbs basic water contaminants, as well as chlorine from tap water. This helps improve the taste and remove odors from basic drinking water. Veterinarian Invented by Dr. Mary Burns, DVM. Veterinarians recommend fountains because the moving water encourages pets to drink more for proper hydration. The free-falling stream also adds oxygen for freshness, making the water more appealing to drink. Proper hydration promotes healthy kidney function, cushions and lubricates joints, speeds recovery time for sick or injured pets and helps your pet’s body with temperature regulation.

For the purpose of this chart, the maximum intake of 1 oz per lb was used to calculate the estimated days filled. Your pet may drink more than the recommended amount due to high activity level and/or other external factors, such as the heat. If your pet is consuming significantly more than the indicated amounts above, this may be a sign of polydipsia or other ailment, please seek the counsel of a veterinarian as soon as possible. **ESTIMATED DAYS FILLED: Calculations were made on a single pet basis and do not account for multiple pets' use of the fountain. All calculations were made using the maximum level of water intake for each specified weight. The above calculations do not take into account water evaporation or other external factors, such as spilling.
