How Paws Fountain gets your dog drinking more.
Not a gimmick — a design built around how dogs actually drink. Here's the science, the setup, and the maintenance, in full detail.
Dogs are hardwired to prefer moving water.
In the wild, still water often signals stagnation — a higher risk of contamination. Moving water signals freshness. This instinct didn't disappear with domestication. It's why dogs will drink from a dripping tap before they'll touch a full bowl sitting a few feet away.
Paws Fountain's arc-stream replicates that exact trigger — a continuous, gentle, faucet-like flow that dogs recognise as fresh, safe, and worth approaching, even when they're not thirsty yet.
Set up in under 10 minutes.
No tools, no app, no manual you'll lose. Four steps, start to finish.
Unbox and rinse the components
Everything ships pre-assembled except the filter cartridge. Rinse the stainless steel basin and pump housing under warm water before first use — no soap needed, just a quick rinse to clear any packaging residue.
Install the filter and charge
The filter cartridge clicks into the base in seconds — no twisting, no alignment guesswork. Connect the included USB-C cable and let it charge fully before first use, typically 2 hours.
Fill the reservoir and place it
Fill with fresh water up to the marked line — up to 4L, lasting 12-13 days per fill for most dogs. Because it's wireless, place it wherever your dog spends the most time: kitchen, hallway, even outdoors.
Press the button — that's it
One button starts the flow. No app pairing, no Bluetooth setup, no account creation. The arc-stream begins immediately and runs continuously until the reservoir needs refilling.
Built for every dog and every battery preference.
Water flows non-stop — closest to a natural stream. Best for multi-dog households or dogs who drink frequently throughout the day.
Cycles on and off every few minutes — enough motion to stay appealing while conserving battery. The default for most households.
Only flows when your dog approaches, using a built-in proximity sensor. Maximum battery efficiency for lower-traffic spots.
A maintenance routine that takes minutes, not hours.
Swap the old cartridge for a fresh one — a 10-second, tool-free process. Subscribers get this delivered automatically, timed to arrive a few days before it's needed.
A quick wipe with the included brush keeps mineral buildup from forming, especially in hard water areas. Takes under a minute.
Disassemble the basin and pump housing, run through the dishwasher (top rack) or hand wash with mild soap. Reassembles in under a minute, no tools needed.
A status light dims as the battery runs low. Plug in for roughly 2 hours to fully recharge — no need to remove the unit from its location.
