★★★★★
My cat loves it!
Since getting the Drinkwell Pagoda Fountain, my cat drinks water much more frequently. The pagoda design looks great in my kitchen, and the fountain is surprisingly quiet. Cleaning is easy enough, and the water tastes fresh.

Good fountain, a bit bulky
This fountain works well and the water stays fresh, but it takes up more counter space than I expected. The filter helps with odor, and the pump isn’t too noisy. Overall, a solid product for multiple pets.

★★★★☆
Great design, filter replacement needed
I love the pagoda look and how it keeps water clean. Just keep in mind you’ll need to replace filters regularly, which adds to the cost. It’s worth it for my dogs’ health though.
