    I bought this fountain because I tend to forget to give my pets water. And since it's the same brand as my auto feeders I thought I might as well go ahead and grab this watering fountain. Now, this particular one does not work with the pet libro app. It just cycles water on its own. You have to remember to do things like change the filters and clean it. So keep that in mind as you're purchasing. There is another model for $10 more approximately that is app compatible. I would check before purchasing to make sure that the model that you're buying is at compatible if you're interested in that. If it doesn't matter then this model or the smaller model works just fine. I do want to mention that this particular fountain is not used for cats. But for relatively small dogs. My biggest dog is just about approaching medium size. I don't know if I would use this particular fountain for any bigger animal. But I did want to mention something that I did extra that doesn't come with the base model. And that's I added a cheap $10 step stool and attached it to it via command strips. This is not required. But it does make it easier for me to access and it keeps it off the floor. You also can see that there is a pet food mat right underneath it. That's just for keeping things neat and tidy. This is not required - particularly if you are going to be using this with cats. But as I don't have any cats I wanted to make sure that this was at an easier height for my dogs to access. I wish there was a bigger model better designed for bigger animals, but as of this moment I don't know of one. So this modifications do work but will not help everyone. For cats this is way too far off the ground. And for bigger animals there's just not enough water in the basin for them. You would probably want to look at a different option. Whatever that is.

    I recently purchased this PetLibro fountain for my Cat who is always thirsty. The device is small and holds over 2 Liters of water so I never have to worry about my cat not having water throughout the day. The device is completely silent, holds a charge for weeks, and is extremely easy to operate. The filters last for a couple weeks and cleaning is super easy. I recommend purchasing the multi pack of filters with this product as well. Highly recommend to any pet owners!

    It’s probably best to wait until after the puppy stage, but otherwise great product. 7lb Puppy can easily move it, spill it and bit the spout.

    The setup was easy enough. I do wish the portable part didn't require the base to move because now I have to unplug and fumble with the cable to plug it back in. Otherwise, it's great.

    The first time I washed this water bowl after using it for a week I noticed the plug felt unusually warm and was a light tan color on one side. A few days after that I just happened to be walking by and heard sizzling...I stopped looked around and saw smoke coming out of the now blackened and melted outlet this was plugged into. It never tripped the circuit breaker. I'm not a professional so I don't know where to lay blame but there was no water splashed up on it, 12" away. I've used this outlet countless times over the past two years for everything from vacuums, steamer mops to portable speakers and cell phones as it's in a visible convenient location, having no issues prior to this. What if I hadn't of been home...? I was seriously considering returning it anyway because my two shih-tsu's and cat weren't really catching on to waiting for the sensor to activate the water fountain feature. When it's not sitting on the charging base and plugged in they weren't using it at all so I had to either leave it running or keep their regular water bowl out. When the fountain isn't running there is no still water on top for them to drink from...meh. Not worth the price. Certainly not worth the risk either considering what happened.

    I've had this fountain for a few months now and both my cats really love it! It runs quiet and holds enough water that I don't need to worry about refilling it every day. It's also not too difficult to clean and replace the filters. On the whole, a solid buy that I think it helping my cats get enough water to keep them hydrated and healthy.

    We love this fountain!! It is so easy to set up and to use! I love the low level and power indicators on the base. It's very quiet too! Changing the filter is very simple also. I also love that it can be battery powered as well.

    Pretty good water foutain, you do have to clean it pretty often (3-4days) as it starts getting dusty, you can use it without plugging it in and it’ll start flowing water as the pet gets close to it or you can plug it for it to run continuously worth every dollar.

    I've had a number of drinking fountains for my cats over the years. Most have been met with mild curiosity. My current cats would even drink out of one. I had to clean and fill the sink for them...until I got this! They love it! I've never seen my cats drink so much. It's not like they haven't had filtered water before. I think it's at least in part because you can remove the top part of the fountain and just have the water run out a little bubbly more like a stream. That's their favorite place to drink - right where the water comes out! It's super easy to clean the fountain. Not having to deal with cords for the fountain motor makes cleaning up a breeze. I clean the filters every time I fill up the basin and change the filters whenever they look or feel like they need it. I haven't needed the battery backup yet but I can see where it would be handy so I'm glad I have it. This is a great water fountain that's easy to clean and maintain and my cats just love it. If your cats are finicky, give it a try!

    Unfortunately, due to the design, the fountain spout is incredibly hard to clean. Because it can't be cleaned thoroughly, it allows for bacteria to grow (lovely pink colored, thus why you should avoid plastic food/water dishes for pets) and I had to remove it. I would highly recommend future models come with a way to clean these parts. Thankfully it works without the spout addition, but the rubber tubing inside was damaged by my cats and the company does not seem to sell replacement parts. Looks like I am going to have to MacGyver this to get it working again because, as convenient as this is, I am not paying another $70 to replace this.

    Great water bowl

    The stainless steel bowl is easy to clean. The bowl being wireless is great. You dont have to unplug the bowl and carry around a wire while trying to clean it. only complaint really is that when the water is around a third full the water splashing inside the bowl is pretty loud. They advertise quiet operation. Filters are on the expensive side compared to other foutain water bowls. Best buy is the cheapest option for this 22.99 for 8 filters. This should be 4 months of use if going by manufaterer recomenation. Petlibros filters from their site is 30 dollars for the same. This bowl is great i wish i spent a little more and got the app connected one. As far as i can tell the only differnce in the two is the base. The app connected base as of 2/12/24 is not something sold seperatly from the brand so choose wisely the first time.

    My cat lovesss this fountain!! It’s a lot more silent than other foutains that I’ve got before which is awesome. The fact that it’s wireless is a big plus. It can hold a pretty large volume of water so I don’t have to worry that my cat will run out of water when im out.
