PETLIBRO Cat Water Fountain, App Monitoring Pet Fountains for Cats Indoor with Stainless Steel Tray, 2.5L/84oz Dockstream Automatic Water Dispenser for Drinking, 2.4G Wi-Fi Smart Bowl InsideClimatePartner certified

The Petlibro water fountain has been a total win in our house. My cat used to ignore her water bowl, but now she drinks multiple times a day. The gentle flow must make it more interesting (or just fancier), and I love knowing she’s staying hydrated.It’s quiet, easy to clean, and has a sleek design that doesn’t look clunky in the kitchen. The filter system keeps the water super clear and fresh — no slime or weird smells. Set-up was simple, and it holds enough water to last several days.If you’ve got a picky pet or just want to upgrade from a boring bowl, this fountain is 100% worth it!

I really love this because the base stays plugged into the wall and the bowl that needs to be refilled and cleaned is removable and I don't have to worry about the wires getting wet.Size:decent size and enough water to run all day for 4 catsQuietness:I honestly don't even know its running most of the time. Very quiet and I love it!Fountain quality:very sturdy and niceWater flow:the flow is the perfect amount to keep the bowl full with 4 cats drinking out of it all day. it is also super quiet as it comes out of the spout which results in the noises being so quiet I forget there's a water fountain.

The media could not be loaded. 1 week in and our pet is adjusting nicely. This watering system is easy to use once you understand its capabilities. This is excellent for keeping water fresh and clean as it’s continually filtering. I wouldn’t say this is necessarily an item that would travel easily as it does require outlet capability and WiFi if you need to make adjustments to any settings. The price is fair given the quality of the product. We would purchase again in the future and recommend for kitties and small dogs. This water fountain is easy to assemble, and the water containment keeps out pollutants.

Trying to get my 70 pound chow chow to eat and drink is pretty much a constant battle. If one thing is slightly off, she will not go near them and what that off thing is constantly changes. This week she suddenly decided she hates bowls. How do you give a dog water not in a bowl??? Apparently in a petlibro fountain. I almost didn't buy this since it says nothing about being good for dogs. I was worried the bowl might be too shallow. But it was hard to find another pet fountain that didn't have some kind of annoying bright light on it. Seems to work just fine for dogs. She loves it and is drinking so much more water, with no more fights about it. Still battling it out over her food, but I'll take the W on this one. It's also whisper quiet. This sits in my bedroom so it's a huge plus that it's not noisy or bright and is pretty sleek looking. I paid $65 for it. Most other fountains I looked at were around $40, but I'd say this is well worth the extra $25 to not disrupt my sleep AND keep my pup hydrated. The app is kinda meh. But still worth it.

Edit: the gasket/bezel breakage in some pictures happens if you pull the filter cover above the tray straight up. It’s also very hard to remove that way.Unfortunately, the instructions and videos don’t show you how to remove it properly—they just skip past that part.To remove it correctly:Hook your index fingers into the water drain holes on each side and gently pull them towards you. This unlatches the front of the cover without pulling at the part in the bottom. Swing up the front of the top cover then remove the back.When you replace the cover after changing the filter, hook the back first then snap down the front.Not doing this right is part of why my first fountain started getting very noisy over time. I was pulling the cover straight up because I didn’t know any better, and it allowed the bottom portion under the tray to get loose so water dripped around the filter.PETLIBRO should document how to remove the cover.Original:I’ve been using this fountain for a few weeks now. I love the fountain itself, but I don’t trust the app monitoring.I was using a competitor’s fountain with a corded pump and a filter that bisected the reservoir, and that was such a pain to deal with I found myself shirking on maintenance. Having the cordless pump and the reservoir be wide open makes refills and cleaning a snap. I also like the big wide bowl so there’s no whisker fatigue and that the cat’s chin rarely touches plastic because the bowl insert is steel. It’s a shame the spout and filter housing is still plastic, though.The pump itself is almost completely silent. You can hear pulsing if you put your ear right up next to it but it’s inaudible from more than a foot or two away. That part is nice, as my previous model had a distinct hum you could hear across the room.But while the pump is much quieter than my previous fountain, the water action does make fairly constant trickling sounds, coming either from the small waterfall it creates on top or from the return path into the reservoir.I took the fountain apart and carefully reassembled it a few times, and made sure it was completely full to the max line, but no change. I ultimately had to move it out of my office into the kitchen because the trickles were distracting.On the plus side, the pulsing water makes very visible ripples and I suspect the trickling noises attract the cat and remind him to drink, even if it did bug me.The one major criticism I have is the app monitoring. Either my cat is part camel and gets by on 4oz a day or, as I suspect, the app itself is missing about half his hydration.Supporting this theory, I actually watched it go almost a full day missing all of his sessions, along with intermittent “network error” messages coming from the PETLIBRO app on my phone. This wasn’t a WiFi issue—the app could see the fountain just fine, and immediately noted me taking it off the base, dumping and re-adding water, etc. His hydration visits that I personally saw just never showed up in the app that day.I think PETLIBRO has a back end internet service that has to be up and accessible exactly when the water is consumed so that it can be logged (ie the fountain has no way to store it and send it later) and it was down at the time. That was probably the cause of the network errors on my phone’s PETLIBRO app.Maybe that service is also intermittently missing sessions all the time, or maybe the scale in the base just isn’t that accurate within fractions of an oz and that’s adding up to a large error. But there’s simply no way a 10# cat on a dry food diet drinks only 4-5oz a day. I’ve reset and recalibrated the scale multiple times, and while the app always notices my refills and reports a reasonable water weight for them, this problem persists.The other criticism I have is that the included instruction manual *never* mentions calibration, either as a setup step or a troubleshooting procedure, and it has zero information on how to disassemble the pump for cleaning—even though the cleaning brush comes in the box. For that information you either need to check listing information or go to PETLIBRO’s website.Yet, PETLIBRO says calibrate first thing. Since I didn’t even know I needed to do that, as I went by the manual, my initial setup was uncalibrated. After reading the listing more closely I reset the fountain, pulled the filter, and did it all from scratch again, but who knows if that’s part of why things are inaccurate?PETLIBRO needs to update their manual with *all* the needed usage info and not rely on people discovering it elsewhere. That’s especially true for *setup* steps.So I recommend the fountain itself, but consider buying the “dumb” one that doesn’t use the app, doesn’t need calibration, etc. It’s much cheaper, and I suspect it’ll give just about as much value. It’s a shame the cheap model doesn’t come with the steel tray or I’d simply say buy it, not consider it.

I like this and I appreciate that it’s wireless but my one complaint is the original removal of the filter compartment cover. It literally feels like you’re going to break it when you have to remove it nd I was very worried because a few people said they had. I searched for videos and they people made it look so simple. I will say be aggressive and pull quickly to get the cover off and you’ll be fine. Once I got over that, it’s been lovely. The wireless part has been great because I don’t have to worry about the cord interfering with the furbabies drinking. I was worried about whether they would stink from it because it wasn’t continually running but they both like it. I think the fact that it doesn’t continually running decreases the slime build up. Clean up is a breeze with this. Fewer parts and all pretty much dishwasher safe if you want. The filter replacements aren’t that expensive either. Overall, it’s a great find and worth picking up for your furbabies.
