YOUR DOG ISN'T DRINKING ENOUGH WATER

And It’s Affecting More Than You Think.

Most dog parents don’t realize it.

But dehydration isn’t always obvious.

It doesn’t start with extreme symptoms.

It starts small.

Low energy.

Dry nose.

Less appetite.

Digestive issues.

And over time?

It can lead to more serious problems like urinary issues and kidney stress.

THE REAL PROBLEM?

Most dogs simply don’t drink enough water.

Not because they can’t…

But because they don’t want to.

Stale water.

No stimulation.

No natural instinct to drink more.

So they drink just enough to survive — not enough to thrive.

Introducing

The Pelsbarn DrinkMore Water Fountain

A simple, science-backed way to naturally increase your dog’s daily water intake.

Designed to make hydration easier, more appealing, and more consistent — without forcing your dog to change.

WHY DOG PARENTS ARE SWITCHING

1. Dogs Naturally Drink More — Without Being Forced

By improving how water is presented and consumed, dogs instinctively increase their intake.

No training.

No stress.

No forcing.

2. Supports Kidney & Urinary Health

Consistent hydration helps support your dog’s internal systems.

Especially important for:

  • Older dogs

  • Small breeds

  • Dogs prone to UTIs

3. Helps Improve Energy & Vitality

Better hydration = better function.

Many dog parents notice:

  • More energy

  • Better mood

  • Healthier routines

4. Encourages Daily Hydration Habits

Instead of occasional drinking…

It builds consistent hydration throughout the day.

Which is what your dog actually needs.

5. Designed For Real Everyday Use

No complicated setup.

No maintenance headaches.

Just something your dog actually uses — every day.

Drinking From Puddles

Sips Then Walks Away

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT?

Most “hydration solutions” don’t actually change behavior.

They just provide water.

DrinkMore Water Fountain does more.

It’s designed to:

✓ Encourage natural drinking behavior

✓ Keep water fresher, longer

✓ Make hydration more appealing

Because if your dog doesn’t want it…

They won’t use it..

Research shows 73% of owners don't realise their dog is chronically dehydrated until bloodwork reveals organ damage.

Others say the guilt is unbearable when they finally learn the truth.

Some discover it too late...

"We lost Max at 9. Kidney failure. His bowl was always full. He drank from it every day. I thought we were doing everything right. The vet said if we'd caught the dehydration earlier... I keep thinking about every time he walked away from that bowl and I didn't think anything of it."

DRINKMORE vs REGULAR WATER BOWLS

Just enough

Truly hydrated

Regular Bowls

  • Water sits still and becomes stale

  • Dogs lose interest quickly

  • Inconsistent drinking habits

  • No stimulation

DrinkMore Water Fountain

  • Encourages continuous drinking

  • Keeps water fresher

  • Builds better hydration habits

  • Designed around real dog behavior

There’s a difference between drinking enough to stop feeling thirsty and enough to truly support the body.That hidden gap is where chronic dehydration quietly develops, affecting overall health over time.

WHY EVERYTHING YOU'VE TRIED DOESN'T FIX THIS

Most dog parents do what seems logical.

They refill the bowl more often. They wash it daily. They buy filtered water—or even expensive bottled options.

At best, it helps a little. At worst, it gives false confidence while your dog continues drinking the bare minimum every single day.

Fresh Water Daily?

Still water is still water. Refilling doesn’t change the instinct that makes dogs sip cautiously every time.

Cleaner Bowls?

Bacteria can return within hours, and this doesn’t address the core reason dogs under-drink.

At-Home Filtration Systems?

Even expensive filters clean the water, but it’s still STILL water. You’ve solved one problem while ignoring the instinct that limits how much your dog actually drinks.

They’ve tried everything, switching bowls, following advice, spending money on solutions that never fix the real problem.

And still, their dogs quietly under-drink while hidden kidney stress builds over time.

For years, researchers understood the real solution. Pet owners just didn’t until now, with Pelsbarn DrinkMore Water Fountain.

THE DISCOVERY THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

When researchers observed dogs drinking from regular bowls versus an engaging, dynamic water source, the results were striking: dogs drank significantly more when the water encouraged natural drinking behavior.

Not because they refused plain bowls—but because the right setup triggers a completely different response.

No hesitant sipping. No “enough for now” limits.

Just free, enthusiastic drinking, the way dogs naturally hydrate from streams, puddles, and fresh sources.

This is why veterinary hydration specialists now recommend water solutions with these key features:

Encourages Natural Drinking Behavior — Designed to trigger your dog’s instinct to drink freely, without forcing or training

Keeps Water Fresher Longer — Continuous movement and optimal design prevent stagnation and bacterial buildup

Supports Kidney & Urinary Health — Consistent hydration helps maintain vital internal functions

Simple, Everyday Use — Easy setup and low maintenance, so your dog drinks more every day

The solution that truly meets all these standards?

It’s the Pelsbarn DrinkMore Water Fountain.

Unlike ordinary bowls or cheap alternatives that fail to keep dogs interested, DrinkMore is built to last—and we back it with a 14-day risk-free promise, because hydration isn’t optional.
