We don't ask you to take our word for it. The link between hydration and feline health is well documented by leading veterinary and research institutions:

Is Your Cat Quietly Dehydrated?
Cats have a low thirst drive and mostly eat dry food — so many stay mildly dehydrated without you ever noticing from the bowl.
Over time, that strains aging kidneys. It's why vets recommend fountains: moving water gets cats to drink more, more often. Avelo just makes it easy.

GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you ask
Is it loud?
No — it runs under 25 dB, quieter than a whisper. It won't startle a nervous cat or keep you up at night.
Is it hard to clean?
No. It comes apart into a few parts with no tight crevices — rinse and wipe in under a minute, all dishwasher-safe. The steel also resists the slimy film plastic gets, so there's less to clean.
What if the pump breaks?
Every fountain has a 12-month warranty — if the pump or battery fails, we replace it free. You can add optional Lifetime Protection at checkout, and every order is backed by our 30-day promise.
How often do I change the filters?
Every 2–4 weeks, depending on how many cats use it. Your kit includes 3 filters and 3 sponges to start, and refills are easy to swap in.
Will my cat actually use it?
Most cats are drawn to moving water — curious ones approach within minutes, shyer ones take a few days. If yours never takes to it, the 30-day promise has you covered.
