My pet seems afraid of the unit. What should I do? Although the majority of pets readily accept using the fountain, your pet may be intimidated by the unit at first. It is important to encourage drinking from the fountain. Remove other water sources for a limited amount of time. Your pet will become accustomed to the unit within a few days. It is imperative to monitor your pet’s use of the fountain at first to ensure that he is drinking to avoid dehydration.
How often should I fill my unit? Refill frequency is dependent on many factors, including how much your pet drinks, how many pets use the fountain, and the environmental conditions where the unit is located. There will be more water evaporation in a dry, warm area versus a cool area.
Why is the unit making gurgle sounds? The gurgle sounds are an indication that the water level is very low. Refill immediately (refer to filling instructions). Never let the unit run dry.
Why is the water not pumping properly through the unit? There may be some foreign matter (food, hair, debris) trapped in the filter, or pump, that may be causing this problem. Examine the filter. Should it be saturated with foreign matter, it must be replaced. Should the filter appear in functioning order, check the pump carefully. You may need to open the pump and clean out the interior for it to function properly (refer to cleaning instructions).
I plugged in the unit, but there is no water flowing. What should I do? There could be air trapped in the pump, preventing it from functioning properly. To remove air from the system, repeat the process of unplugging and plugging in the unit until the water begins to flow.
2-Year Limited Warranty.

Had it for about a year
By Nicolas on Nov 18, 2020
I have had this fountain for a year. The thing that sold me on it was the size and price. It was on sale for only 60 dollars. I can honestly say it's an okay fountain, the reason being is at first when I bought it I was saddened to see that the pump didn't even reach the bottom of the bowl. Meaning that yeah it holds so much but once it is only about 1/3 full it stops pumping water...... Also now that time had passed and I can see how well it fairs. I can definitely say unless it's just temporary. I would not buy this bowl again. It has a fancy light feature that was cool at first, but as time goes on it actually started to rust. This is not acceptable to me. I should never have to worry about I have had this fountain for a year. The thing that sold me on it was the size and price. It was on sale for only 60 dollars.

This is not acceptable to me. I should never have to worry about the bowl itself putting rust in the water. Also the material it's made of chips away slowly over time. Leaving black specs here and there. So in my opinion if your picky about how clean your dogs water is. Which I can only assume you are since your looking at filter bowls, move on. The only plus was the size and even then it disappointed me with it's inability to pump water from the bottom upward. There are better filter bowls out there. Don't waste your money. … more

Chewy is AMAZING!
By Sarah on Dec 3, 2020
My dog Willow LOVES this fountain. She’s a Great Pyrenees so she drinks a lot and slobbers into her water a LOT. I ended up getting this fountain to filter that slobber out and have enough water for her so I don’t have to replace it every hour. It’s amazing! It worked great until the pump went out, but I contacted Chewy when it did and they’re sending me a new one! Chewy has AMAZING customer service! This is a great fountain and I’d recommend it for anyone who has big dogs especially.

pretty but poor quality
By Carley on Sep 6, 2020
I bought this probably over a year ago and it’s since become more of a decoration. It’s beautiful and with the light it’s even more pretty at night. However the quality on the outside doesn’t reflect the quality on the inside. The first few washes got most of the clumps of glue out and most of the black flakes that would come off. It’s kind of a rough material so it’s difficult to get clean. The filter only really stops fur so it gets really slimy really quick. I was washing it every couple of hours when I was using it. The pump hangs about half way down so you can’t use all of the water and have to keep it pretty full so you don’t mess up the pump. My German Shepard wouldn’t even use it because I bought this probably over a year ago and it’s since become more of a decoration. It’s beautiful and with the light it’s even more pretty at night.

For how expensive it was it was really more of a hassle to deal with. If you do get one please be mindful of the flakes and debris that come out and wash it well first … more

Don't buy this fountain
By Dave on Nov 3, 2020
Bought 2 of these a couple years ago for 1/3 of the price. Black flaking inside never stops. Can only use half the water inside because pump only hangs halfway down. I love Chewy, just not this product.

Major let down, poor quality
By MiClanMonsters on Jul 5, 2020
Looked beautiful in picture, very zen vs having eyesore bowls laying around, but upon unboxing was immediately disappointed in the craftsmanship. Globs of glue/caulk held the super short hose in permanent place in the output hole. it looked like a toddler painted it, all streaky in places with clumps of too much in others, and "out of the lines" all over the place. The chemical smell was overpowering and nauseating. The hose is very short, as mentioned, but connects to the pump and holds it suspended in the basin; causing a good amount of water to be left in the bottom, which defeats the entire purpose of having the large capacity basin. All things that I was ok with looking past since, otherwise Looked beautiful in picture, very zen vs having eyesore bowls laying around, but upon unboxing was immediately disappointed in the craftsmanship.

All things that I was ok with looking past since, otherwise, it essentially should've been perfect for our needs. Used it for less than 2 months and the pets stopped using it, and I'm talking to the point they would rather thirst to death than drink from it, because it would become super slimy and apparently the coating was coming off and little black flakes were floating around in it. These pictures are from not even a week after cleaning and refilling it the time before that, and after the third time over during this cleaning because the slimyness and floating black debris was so bad and just never ending. So disappointed with this. … more

unhappy with the pump

Just Beautiful
By Gina on Apr 23, 2020
Love this fountain. Not only is it beautiful and the light at night is wonderful, my dogs LOVE drinking out of it. They tend to prefer "fresh" water and so are choosing to drink from this as opposed to their old style water bowl. I also want to include that I appreciate the height as well. My big guys finally have a fresh, running water bowl that is at their appropriate height and no longer have to bend their necks to reach the ground. I would purchase multiple ones if I had more rooms to put them in!

Can't teach an old dog to drink
By RutsPups on Aug 15, 2019
I had seen this item before but didn't purchase it from another provider. So finally decided this would help with our summer algi growing situation, so I sought it out and found CHEWY to have it and at a better price than before. However, our dog is a little affair of it and I cannot seem to get him to use it. I have left it out there hoping he would get use to it and use it, but he has not. The goal of no algi growing seems to be achieved since the water supply is in the black base and little to no sunlight can get to it. So a plus there. Didn't return it as I will keep for future dogs and will start them out early on it. Liked that CHEWY had replacement filter available on auto ship.

It’s okay but..,
By Tony on Nov 3, 2019
It’s okay but they need to have this 3D printed because the quality and fiber glass interior structure of it is worrisome. I love the light and idea but needs to improved.
