Water Fountain for Cats & Dogs that COOLS the water!

[jeffweico]

I have owned one of these for a couple of years, and they are great. They LOOK a little funky, but they actually chill the water for your pets. When I bought mine, they were selling for $250, but I went ahead and bought it because I thought to myself "how would *I* feel if all I had to drink was water served at room temperature?"

I was just ordering a couple of replacement filters and I noticed that the price has dropped to $119!

So, I thought I would share the link:

Glacier Point Basic Fountain™ – a basic pet fountain from Sierra BioScience

I do NOT own the company and I do not benefit if you buy anything from them. I'm posting this out of my love for animals and also having seen a lot of people asking about water fountains for pets that actually chill the water.

In the Summer I just would put chunks of ice in my cats water, never really thought about them drinking water at room temperature.

Glad to hear no drinking from the toilet!


Side note: I went to the website:

.... When comparing our basic fountain with the cheap plastic pet store bowls that are made in China, there are some major differences to consider....

Funny line..

My babies will not drink 'chilled' water. They will lick the ice blocks, then chew them up as they melt.

For super hot Australian summer days, they get to wear ice vests....

COOL DOWN AUSTRALIA - Ice Vests, Cooling Vests, Dog Cooling Vests, Dry Chill : Hurtta Dog Cooling Coat - Size 60cm [HT060] - $77.00

The Black Russian Terrier 'loves' his lilac coloured vest. Fancies himself with the ladies.

I spend a fortune on having the air-conditioning working in the company autos.

Jeff, the sellers on ebay who sell those large cat post sell a ton of those things.

TooToo has her own shower. All of the guttering at my place is lined with a sprinkler system.

If there are fires, it hoses the house down as a precaution.

Her enclosure has the same. Summer temperatures can get to 110F. I put the sprinklers on for her. She gets cool.

Before I had the system finished, she would be taken into the house & left in the 2nd bathroom with the shower lightly spraying her............ and flooding everywhere.

Made by a friend of a friend of a friend. Real 'Bird Man'. I would expect to have over 40 of these visitors on a daily basis.Not home all the time to enjoy them though.

Like the shot at 1:19 - exploring and wandering off

They are very inquisitive birds. Very sociable.

In flocks, they have 'guards'. Usually they are older birds who are on the look-out for danger. If it happens, they screech warnings to the flock.

There is even an Australian slang term amongst criminals doing robberies. They may have a man as a 'cockatoo'. He is a look out & warns his crim mates.

With the flock that visits me, the senior bird is nicknamed Scout. He is the one that calls out for food. He arrives ahead of the others.
