Did you know that the type of water bowl your cats use may impact how much they drink?
Finding the best water bowl for cats is essential, because cats are naturally desert animals with a lower thirst drive. If their water bowl is unappealing, they may not drink enough, which can lead to health issues.
Research on how much water cats should drink suggests 1/3 to 1 cup of water daily, depending on their diet.
Proper hydration is crucial to prevent urinary tract infections, kidney issues, and lethargy.
This is the best water bowl for cats! We've seen improvements in our own cats, and the customer reviews confirm the benefits. Here's why it works...
Stainless Steel Material
Hygienic
Material matters when it comes to cat water bowls. Plastic and ceramic bowls scratch and develop microcracks where bacteria breed on leftover food and saliva. This leads to nasty smells and tastes that deter cats from drinking.
Alternatively, stainless steel is non-porous, keeping bacteria out and water fresh - making it the best water bowl for cats!
Keeps Water Cooler
Stainless steel also keeps liquids cooler for longer, which many cats prefer.
Whisker-Friendly Shape
Cats dislike their sensitive whiskers touching the sides of a deep or narrow bowl, a condition known as whisker fatigue.
A wide, shallow cat bowl ensures whiskers don't get overstimulated and prevents whisker fatigue, making drinking water more comfortable.
Heavy and Stable
A water bowl that tips over or slides around can discourage cats from drinking.
A heavy, sturdy bowl prevents spills, ensuring water stays in the bowl and not on the floor, and helps cats feel more secure while drinking.
Dishwasher Safe
Cats need fresh water daily, and their water bowls should be cleaned often.
A dishwasher-safe cat water bowl makes providing fresh water easier. The easier it is to clean, the more likely you'll be to provide your cat with fresh water to encourage hydration.
Non-Toxic and Made in the USA
Have you ever picked up a metal cat bowl from a pet store and noticed a strong, metallic odor? We have! It's scary that many cat bowl companies don't publish the type of metal they use or whether their bowls undergo safety testing.
In contrast, Americat Company is transparent. Each of these cat water bowls is stamped with the grade of stainless steel (18/8, 304 series) and that they are made in the USA. These bowls are human grade and food safe. Each batch is 3rd-party tested by a lab approved by the U.S. Consumer Protection Safety Commission and certified free of lead and radioactive metals.
You can trust that your cats' water bowl is truly safe when you buy from Americat Company.
Fits Elevated Stand
Americat Company also makes an elevated stand for their water bowl. Many customers have written reviews that their cats drink more water when their bowls are raised off the ground.
Water is easier to reach, and neck and joint strain is reduced.
These cat water bowl stands purposely hold a single bowl rather than the double feeders often found at pet stores. Cats instinctively avoid drinking water near their food to prevent contamination, so it's best to keep food and water apart.
