No matter how faint, any odor can quickly make your cat swear off their water bowl for weeks, leading to possible urinary tract infections, crystals, and kidney problems. These filters from Noodoky can help. Four thick layers of carbon, ion exchange, and cotton fibers remove impurities and additives that can lead to those odors for better hydration.

Many round filters allow microscopic sediment to pass through to the water, making it taste funny to your furry overlords. That won’t be a problem if you use these Drinkwell replacement filters from PetSafe. Each one is separated into six sections, and they boast twice the carbon of the average filters. As a bonus, they fit a variety of fountains, so your options aren’t too limited.

Pros:

• These filters are an excellent choice for sensitive cats because they clear out almost anything that could irritate them.
• Picky kitties who often turn their nose up at regular water bowls or other filtered fountains may have an easier time getting the hydration they need when you use these.
• The price for this pack is fantastic compared to similar versions.

Cons:

• These filters require frequent changes to be effective.

Like the NPET models, some cat fountains use smaller filters than most. That’s when we recommend the NPET fountain filters. High-density materials remove pet hair, minerals, and other contaminants to keep your pet’s water smelling and tasting fresher than ever. Best of all, you only need to replace them every two to three weeks.

Pros:

• Changing the filters is pretty effortless; it should only take a few seconds.
• Many cats who’d refuse water using other filters will drink water that filters through these.
• They slide in and out without needing to be cut or forced into the fountain.

Cons:

• You may need to change this filter more often if you have multiple cats.
