Best Smart Fountain

Petcube Wireless Smart Fountain

The most feature-packed smart fountain available — UV-C antibacterial light, four-layer filtration, motion-activated flow, and app alerts for filter changes and cleaning schedules. Wireless battery lasts several days and the ceramic design is genuinely beautiful.

$70-$90
Pros

  • Exceptionally quiet operation compared to other fountains

Cons
  • Motion sensor inconsistent — often activates on close inspection rather than approach
  • Only suitable for cats and small dogs — not large breeds
  • Filters must be replaced every 30 days, sold in 3-packs for $10
  • At $70-$90, one of the pricier options on the market
Why we recommend it

If you want the smartest fountain on the market and don't mind paying for it, Petcube's is in a class of its own. The UV-C light and motion sensing are features you won't find elsewhere at this price.

What the experts said

My cat drinks from a better water fountain than I had in high school. The smooth way the filtered water ran across the clean ceramic surface was, well, tempting.

It's especially quiet compared with the other fountains I've had, which is a useful way to avoid a cycle of annoying, loud gurgles.
