Dog Water Fountain & Filters
Keep your dog's water fresh, flowing and filtered. The Zeus drinking fountain for dogs holds 6 litres, so it is ideal for medium and large dogs and multi-dog homes, and the Zeus foam and carbon filters come in a 3 pack so you always have a spare. Moving water tempts many dogs to drink more, which helps keep them well hydrated.
Why use a water fountain for your dog?
Fresh water is one of the most important things you can give your dog. A drinking fountain keeps water moving and filtered, so it stays fresher for longer than a standing bowl. Here is how a fountain works and how to look after one.
Encourages drinking
Many dogs prefer running water to a still bowl, and a fountain can encourage them to drink more. Good hydration supports your dog's kidneys, digestion and overall health, and it is especially helpful for dogs that eat mostly dry food, older dogs and dogs in warm weather. Some dogs even enjoy playing with the flowing water.
Fresher, cleaner water
A fountain circulates the water through a filter, which helps catch hair, dust and bits of food. The Zeus 6 litre fountain has a large capacity, so it is a good fit for bigger dogs or homes with more than one pet, and you do not need to refill it as often.
Changing the filter
Filters work best when they are changed regularly. Replace them as often as the instructions recommend, or sooner if the water looks cloudy or the flow slows down. A 3 pack of Zeus filters means you always have one ready. Popping filters on Bottomless Bowl is an easy way to remember.
Cleaning your fountain
Even with a filter, the fountain needs a regular clean. Empty it, wash the bowl and parts in warm soapy water, rinse well and refill with fresh water. Check the pump for hair, which can slow it down. Always unplug the fountain before cleaning, and dry the plug and cable before plugging back in.
Where to put it
Place the fountain somewhere quiet and easy to reach, away from your dog's food bowl and on a surface that will not be damaged by splashes. Keep the cable tidy and out of the way of chewing puppies. Make sure the water level never runs too low, as this can damage the pump. Top it up every day, and keep a normal bowl of water out too while your dog gets used to the fountain.
Never run out of filters. Pop your dog's fountain filters and food on Bottomless Bowl so they turn up before you need them. You save on every order, and you can pause or cancel whenever you like.

It varies with your dog's size, diet, activity and the weather. Dogs on dry food usually drink more than those on wet food, and all dogs need more in hot weather or after exercise. If your dog suddenly starts drinking much more or much less than usual, speak to your vet.
Many cats love running water too, and can share a fountain if it is a comfortable height for them. We also stock cat water fountains, such as Catit, which are a better size for cats and small dogs.
