Petmate Fresh Flow Takes The Worry Out Of Having Clean Water For Your Pet

Having a Petmate fresh flow water system takes the worry out of making sure your pet has clean water throughout the day. This system once filled with water will give your pet fresh filtered water over and over again. The system has a window so you can see the water level and know if you need to add more. No more concerns about bacteria building up in standing water.

Water is vital to our pets. They cannot go without it for very long. As a matter of fact, your pet can go longer without food than without water.

The adequate amount of water varies with your pets weight. A big dog may need 20 cups of water a day while a small 15 pound dog needs 3 cups. Filling a large dog bowl with water is not a good idea. Standing water breeds bacteria, which is certainly bad for your pet. The petmate fresh flow eliminates this problem.

So a good rule is:

FOR EVERY 5 LBS OF WIEGHT YOUR DOG WILL NEED 1 CUP OF WATER

When fresh clean water is available a dog will drink what he or she needs. The petmate fresh flow in its' standard size can deliver 50 ounces of water. That's about 8 cups of fresh water. Depending on the size of your pet this may be enough water for 2 or 3 days.

The jumbo size Petmate will be enough water for a large dog for one day. It holds almost 25 cups of water.

The Petmate fresh flow does run on electricity. It uses a quiet pump and a filter. The water you fill it with is constantly recycled through the filter so your pet always has clean water. The water cascades down a slide into the bowl. That will be the only sound you hear. Dogs like the cool water in the bowl, while cats tend to lap up water from the flowing slope.

The petmate fresh flow comes with a non slip bottom, which is great for large dogs. They will not be able to move the bowl. My dog is big and he always slides his bowl when drinking. This makes the water splatter all over the floor and leaves him with less water in the bowl.

Being a large dog owner I know what a problem this can be. When using the average large dog bowl for water my dog tends to move it while drinking, this causes water to splash all over the floor and also reduces the amount of water in his bowl. Since water is so important to your pet making sure the bowl is always full is necessary.

Every pet owner needs to know how important fresh clean water is for their pet. Having the petmate fresh flow gives you one less thing to be concerned about.
