Why does my cat prefer to drink water from places other than her bowl?
Cats actually prefer to drink from running water. I suggest you get her a water/drinking fountain: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/SearchDisplay?categoryId=&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&sType=SimpleSearch&resultCatEntryType=2&showResultsPage=true&searchSource=Q&pageView=&beginIndex=0&pageSize=48&fromPageValue=search&searchKeyword=&searchTerm=water+fountain )

Why is my senior cat suddenly washing paws, crying, and not eating?
Hi and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry your Tabby is having issues with his water dish! A lot of cats do prefer running water to drink from and not standing water. You may try purchasing a pet fountain from your local supply store (a small one will work) and give that a try. He may like the running water more. If you are giving him the same food every day, don't stop! Changing up the food frequently will turn him into a very picky eater. Stick with one food and continue to offer it- cats will not stave themselves if they are hungry enough. He will learn to eat what is in front of him. However, if you notice your tabby has gone more than 3 days without eating, I would be suspicious there is something else more concerning going on with him that may need to be evaluated by a veterinarian. I hope this has helped and I wish you and your Tabby the very best!

My senior dog isn't drinking enough. How much water does she need?
You can try getting Moka a dog water fountain. It’s provides a continual source of fresh water, and it encourages dogs to drink. I have one, and my dogs love it. You can find them online or at a pet store.

My cat with heart condition isn't drinking. Should I get a fountain?
I think it is important that Olie continues to drink well while on heart medications. It’s true that cats get their moisture mostly from wet food, however cats on heart meds might need more water to mantain the right level of hydration so I would say yes to the water water fountain again ! I know it can be a pain the maintenance but I think it is well worthy ! Hope he continues to do well..!

My dog is afraid of her new water fountain. How do I get her to drink?
A few things you can try is first turning off the fountain and emptying it, and tossing a few favorite treats in it. When she shows interest/takes the treats be sure to give lots of praise for it. Once she seems OK with that, you can then add in water but not turn it on. If she shows interest or drinks from it, again praise and give a treat. Once she's fine with drinking from it off, you can then turn it on, and again, treat and praise when she shows interest/drinks from it. She'll quickly learn this is a good thing, instead of a scary one!
