“Her kidney numbers were starting to rise. Pawira helped her drink again, and her follow-up results improved.”

Why vets recommend Pawira
Three veterinarians tested the fountain. Here’s what they told us.
“Pawira products are thoughtfully researched, beautifully made, and created to support your cat’s health and wellbeing. I proudly recommend them as a veterinarian and as a pet owner of four cats.”
“I highly recommend the Pawira fountain for its built-in UV light and triple-stage filtration. No other fountain on the market has both. My pets took to it immediately, it’s whisper quiet, and it’s far easier to clean than any fountain I’ve used.”
“Throughout my veterinary career, I’ve seen how well-designed products support a cat’s long-term health. Pawira fountains stand out for their thoughtful design and alignment with clinical care, from hydration to enrichment.”
The problem
Every sip leaves a little saliva behind. Within hours it feeds a slimy film you can’t see, but she can smell.
Saliva, food crumbs and dust land in it with every sip. Within hours it smells off to her.
A slimy film called biofilm grows in every tiny scratch. Rinsing doesn’t move it, and scrubbing only adds more scratches.
With 200 million scent receptors she smells it long before you do. Two sips, then she walks away.
The fix isn’t scrubbing harder. It’s water that never sits still.
Why water matters
Cats come from desert animals that got almost all their water from what they ate. That’s why their thirst is so weak, and why a cat on dry food can stay a little dehydrated every day without you noticing.
How much of her food is water
The water her food used to give her now has to come from her bowl.
Her thirst is weak
Cats don’t feel thirsty until they’re already short on water. A full bowl doesn’t mean she’s drinking from it.
Her pee gets stronger
With too little water, her urine gets concentrated. That’s when crystals can start to form, especially in boys.
Her kidneys work harder
Kidneys need water to flush out waste. Year after year, too little water adds up.
What more water does for her
The solution
UV sterilization, surgical steel, triple filtration and a whisper-quiet pump. Every part solves one reason cats refuse their water.
A real UV-C lamp sits inside the pump and treats the water every time it circulates, day and night. Safe for cats.
Most fountains use 304 steel that pits over time. Pawira is 316, the grade used in medical implants.
Every pad is packed with real activated carbon. Foam, carbon and fine mesh pull out hair, chlorine and odors.
A steady stream of moving water, like the fresh running water cats look for in nature.
Quieter than a whisper. Calm enough to nap next to, and nervous cats drink without flinching.
Stainless parts, no slimy corners. 3.2 L lasts for days between refills.

The difference
Pawira is the original. Here is how it compares to ordinary plastic fountains.

OTHERSReal cat parents
I've had 2 other fountains in the past and NO kitty (we have 4) ever touched them! Our 1 cat has always drank water with her front foot. On the 4th day she was actually drinking from it normally. All 4 kitty's drink from the water bowl now.
When we had a ceramic water bowl prior to this, I'd usually observe her drinking once a day. Now, I see her drinking 2-3 times per evening. Her fur has become super soft, and the litter box needs changing more frequently.
This is a game changer! Our 16 year old boy has never been healthier. He loves his fountain! Drinks long drinks multiple times a day.
I just got this fountain and set it up last night for my 2 cats, and they were drinking from it right away! I really love how easy it is to open the tray where the filter goes. It's also super quiet!

Product & daily use
Most cats start drinking within a day or two, because moving water triggers their instinct. Tip: place Pawira next to her old bowl for a few days, then remove the bowl.
The UV light is built into the pump housing and runs continuously as the water circulates, killing up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. No chemicals, completely safe for cats and your home.
Every two weeks for the best results. Your fountain comes with 8 filter sets, enough for about 4 months.
No. Stainless steel doesn't hold slime the way plastic does. A quick rinse once a week and a filter change every two weeks is all it takes, and the steel parts are dishwasher safe.
No. The 5V pump runs under 20 dB, quieter than a whisper, so it's safe to run all night, even next to your bed or a nervous cat.
It holds 3.2 L (108 oz) and measures 9.17 x 7.56 x 6.77 in. That's enough water for several cats and lasts for days between refills.
Yes. The triple filter removes chlorine, heavy metals and residues from tap water before it reaches her.
