Why we love this deal

Dog owners have it so easy when it comes to making sure their pups are hydrated: You just put a bowl on the ground and the dog drinks out of it, more often than not splashing water about happily.

Cats, however, don't drink water often, and it can be a source of worry for owners. But one way to fix that is swapping out their water bowl for a fountain. Walmart is running a sale on the FWMB Stainless Steel Cat Fountain , and it's a great upgrade if you want to keep your kitties happy.

Why do shoppers love it?

Made of stainless steel with a 3.2-liter capacity, this fountain is suitable for either single or multi-cat households. It also features two modes — faucet and spring surge — which are designed to mimic natural water sources and encourage your pet to drink more. And another major benefit is that the pump is very quiet, so you'll never hear the sound of the fountain working.

One shopper said, “Love this fountain and my cat loves it even more. Cats struggle with water intake, so this is perfect for them and they find it fun. It's also stainless steel so it's perfect for cleaning and comes with filters that you can replace. Super easy to put together and super easy to maintain for my cats.”

“LOVE the capacity,” a second shopper said. “The simplistic design, quiet pump, silent water flow, and the fact that incoming water doesn't disturb the calm of the drinking area had me purchasing another AND sending the link to my cat loving friends!”

A third customer said, “This was the cure-all regarding my cat not drinking enough water. It turns out they need moving water, and they also will not drink from a narrower bowl due to stress on their whiskers. This is the best $27 I've invested, and they love it.”
