Common questions
Is a ceramic fountain better than plastic?
For hygiene, yes. Ceramic, like stainless steel, resists the biofilm that builds up on plastic and is vet-preferred for cleanliness. The trade-offs are weight and the risk of chipping or cracking.
Is it stable?
Yes, the ceramic body is heavy, so it sits firmly and is hard for a cat to tip or push around, which suits playful or larger cats.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
Yes, the ceramic is dishwasher safe, though it is heavier to handle than plastic or stainless when loading and cleaning.
