Just like us, pets need consistent access to clean, fresh water to stay healthy and happy. Whether you have one furry companion or a bustling multi-pet household, creating a dedicated hydration station can make all the difference in your pet’s daily routine.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to set up a comfortable, stress-free watering area for your pets using our most popular automatic waterers—like the sleek FT666 and spacious FT999—along with placement tips to keep your pets hydrated and content all day long.

Why a Hydration Station Matters

A well-designed hydration station:

• Promotes consistent drinking habits

• Keeps water cleaner for longer

• Minimises mess around the house

• Reduces competition among pets

By placing the right waterer in the right spot, you’re setting your pets up for long-term wellbeing and comfort.

Step-by-Step: Creating Your Pet’s Hydration Station

🐾 1. Choose the Right Waterer for Your Space

When setting up a hydration zone, the first step is selecting a waterer that suits both your home and your pets' needs.

• For cats or small dogs: Try the 2.2L Automatic Waterer – FT666. Its compact design fits neatly into kitchens, laundry rooms, or corners.

  • Black FT666

  • Clear FT666

  • White FT666

  • Match with: FT666 Filter Replacements

• For medium to large pets or multiple animals: Consider the 4.5L Rechargeable Wireless Waterer – FT999. It’s cordless, quiet, and easy to move around.

  • Black FT999

  • White FT999

  • Use with: FT999 Filter Replacements

• For the ultimate hydration solution: Go big with the 7L Stainless Steel FT00703—perfect for outdoor spaces or large-breed dogs.

🐾 2. Pick the Perfect Placement

Keep it low-traffic, but visible. Choose an area that’s easy for pets to find but away from their food or litter area. Ideal spots include:

• Corners of the kitchen

• Laundry or mudrooms

• Pet play zones

Avoid sunlight or heat sources. Direct sun can cause algae buildup, and nearby heaters can speed evaporation.

For multi-pet homes: Set up multiple stations in separate areas to avoid crowding or guarding behaviour. Cats, in particular, appreciate solitude while drinking.

🐾 3. Make It Inviting

A hydration station isn’t just functional—it can be pet-friendly and pleasant, too. Try adding:

• A silicone mat underneath to catch spills

• A low-step stool nearby for older or small pets

• A quiet surrounding, especially if your pet is noise-sensitive

🐾 4. Maintain Cleanliness

Even with automatic waterers, regular upkeep is essential:

• Clean the fountain weekly

• Change filters every 2–4 weeks
  → FT666 Filters
  → FT999 Filters
  → FT007 Filters

Fresh filters keep water odour-free and safe for daily drinking.

🐾 5. Observe and Adjust

Once your hydration station is live, take a few days to monitor your pets’ drinking habits:

• Are they comfortable with the location?

• Is one pet dominating the space?

• Do you need to add a second fountain?

Tweak as needed. Smart pet parenting is about paying attention and staying flexible.

Final Tips for Multi-Pet Homes

• Multiple pets = multiple fountains
  Especially in homes with dogs and cats together, consider setting up separate hydration areas for peace of mind.

• Elevated stands for older pets
  Help senior pets access water without bending too low.

• Hydration on the go
  The FT999’s wireless design makes it perfect for travel, moving between rooms, or outdoor patios.
