You can buy two pods at Petsmart for $6.99. This is a waste of money; I was very disappointed when I received this product.

A great idea, especially for someone, like me, who would forget to water the cat grass more than once every two weeks. Unfortunately, the clip doesn’t clip on to the Drinkwell Platinum. I assume there is a new design or something, because other reviewers seem to have had no problems. Of course, I could just leave it sort of hanging there, but then when my cat tried to eat the grass, she would just pull the whole thing off.

Grass is a little anemic without natural light. But it grows and the cats eat it. Cheaper than buying pots of grass at the grocery store.

Bought this thinking how great it would be to have without soil…latch it onto the fountain & viola…but too few sprouts make it not worth the extra time & effort. Use a small dish, good potting soil & viable seeds; sow seeds, lightly covered with soil, keep misted with H2O & you will have much better results in a day or two, just make sure you have the starter seed dish out of the way of the cat..at least till it’s 4″ or so. No need for the fountain either. I found it to be too loud & can’t control the flow well. Cats will drink out of a toilet, if you let them..they love trickling water. My cat is 15 & is on special diet due to renal failure. Be sure to supply fresh water often and make sure you groom your cat regularly or you’ll be cleaning up more cat yack than you want to.

I ordered the package the Amazon was offering, which included the Drinkwell Aqua Garden for Pets Fountains, a filter and seed pods. I ordered two sets and the first time I received my order, there were only 2 seed pods, 2 filters, but no pet fountains with no explanation as to where they were. I contacted Amazon and they said they would resend the fountains. Several days later, I received 2 seed pods, but again, no fountains. Again, I contacted Amazon and again I got the same runaround and AGAIN they sent only 2 seed pods. Each time, the receipt indicated that these were the pet fountains. Not sure what the problem was and I never got a decent explanation. Finally, had my original order refunded and now I am purchasing it from a seller. I hope this time I actually get the pet fountains because I have no use for that many seed pods!!

Wish I hadnt bought it. Tooth brush works better at cleaning the main part of the fountain(the multiple holes in the bottom), and for cleaning the motor. Wash cloth works fine for cleaning the middle section. Really the only brush that comes in handy..and probably could have been purchased separately elsewhere, is the smallest one. Cleans the tiny tube that goes into the pump.

The wire at the handle bends. I have used the small brushes about 3 times. The brushes have not broken as of yet.I had to have the small brushes to get into the small places that would never get clean otherwise on the Drinkwell fountain.

These brushes can be used for cleaning the fountain, however it can be cleaned just fine without them.

I can’t imagine how someone could keep their drinkwell clean w/o these brushes. Some other reviewer said that small aquarium brushes and pipe cleaners work better – who’s got time for that? For $9 you have tools that work perfectly, and are custom-made for the unit. I’d pay 3x the price and still think they were worth it. Don’t hesitate – you’ll be thankful you have them.

If you have bought the Drinkwell fountain for your pets, this is a mandatory accessory. These brushes make it very easy to keep your fountain clean and keep your pets from drinking stagnant water. The handles make them easy to grip and use, and the brushes make sure you get every nook and cranny. Highly recommended.
