Complaint
• Fountain stopped pushing water up.
• Pump is not strong enough so I am unable to use the spout.
• Pump didn't work
• Doesn't have steady stream
• Quit Working After 6mos. Purchased in January and was using regularly until I decided it was too much of a hassle to have to change the
filters every two weeks (if you don't, the water gets slimy). So, just decided to use when I'd be away for a few days. Set it up and plugged it in
before I went away last week and of course it doesn't work. Very inconvenient to have to give my cat sitter more to worry about and have to
reform my plan right before I left. And I'd course I don't see anywhere to reach out for at least a partial refund.
• Does NOT WORK Product pump did not have any pressure to pump and fill top water tray. I tried to return it but the internet was not
working inside the kohls store and I already spent a good 30 minutes in lines and driving. I just threw it in garbage
• Pump stopped working
• Quality has gone down, lack of pressure. Disappointed by this model. This is the second Petlibro fountain. I purchased during Amazon prime
day in July and the fountain water pump / pressure quality has degraded. I had a previous Petlibro fountain that I loved but replaced after over
a year of having, hard water stain build up and mold getting inside the two holes where the water nozzle comes out from. This new fountain
has little pressure and I have to clean the entire fountain weekly and replace the filters weekly, where with my old fountain, I could go 3 weeks-
a month without having to do a full clean and filter replacement on the fountain. At first I thought it was the lack of water in the fountain, but
even after refilling, the flow is poor. Some of my cats can drink from the bowl, but most prefer the fountain feature.

should. I still have the main filter in there. We'll see how long it lasts.
• Pump is not working causing water to not come out.
• Absolute Junk Stopped working after a month… tried several outlets, USB connectors, no go… other than into the trash
• Stopped flowing water
• Stopped working in less than a year I really loved this product and it made my cat drink a lot more, which is great. She seemed to really enjoy
it. Unfortunately it's been less than a year and it stopped working.
• Water not coming through
• No longer dispensing water
• Stopped working Product was nice in the beginning and water flowed nicely and provided fresh water for my cat. After a three weeks I
noticed the water instead of flowing straight was going up against the piece it came out of and thought maybe I just have a malfunctioning
one as long as water comes out it's fine. Then I came home one day and it completely stopped putting out water. Tried changing filter,
different outlet it worked for awhile then stopped again. Of course this happens just outside the return window so I can't do anything. I will be
a buying a fountain from someone else as I don't want this happening again and wasted my money for it to stop working in only three weeks.
• Already broken I've only had this fountain for 2 months and it's already broken. I've had cheaper ones that have lasted 2+ years. I'm
disappointed because this one was pretty expensive.
• Plastic piece on fountain broke
• Easy to clean, but noisy and too many parts! Easy to clean, but noisy and too many parts!
• Leaked when plugged in It leaked all over my wood cabinet. I messed with it for a week and everything was connected properly. I watched
the cat and my son closely to see if they might be bumping it but they weren't. When I unplugged it, it stopped. I still can't figure out where
the water is coming from. I love it otherwise and so does the cat. I ordered another one hoping it was a fluke. I there were some good reviews
and hopefully the next one will be leak free
• Asetchically Pleasing...Functional, Not so Much I wanted to love this fountain...It looks amazing, so sleek, and it's next to silent. Our old
fountain was your run of the mill plastic for $10 and I wanted something a little nicer. We have had this fountain for a week or so, and
absolutely hate it. Every day we have come home to a giant puddle on the floor, about 5-10 inches from the fountain. Never happened before
we got this fountain, so it appears to have been spewing water out. It was annoying to come home and see that, and more annoying to clean it
up. I spent an extra $5 and got a much better fountain for our furry family. This one just didn't meet my expectations for the price...
• Unseen leak I liked it at first. It seemed to work, but then I noticed I would have to refill it faster or more often than expected. Then I noticed
that every time I would refill it, there would somehow be water under it, AND under the silicon pad I had it sitting on! This happened a few
times & was ruining my parquet floor as it went unnoticed for a while. The last refill, I put a plant water catching tray under it. I refilled it and
came home to find the entire refilled fountain had drained into that tray! It has a leak, but strangely, I haven't outright seen or found it yet. I

• Don't buy this I purchased this cat fountain after returning the wireless version of the same fountain. The wireless one would not stop
leaking, no matter where I placed it or how many rules I followed. I decided to try the regular fountain instead but it has the same problem. I'm
not sure why but I've literally tried every single thing the instructions suggest. I will be returning this one, as well, and purchasing a cat fountain
from my local pet show. The leaked water ruined the hard wood floors and I would not recommend either of these products. Also, it wasn't
silent at all. I constantly sounded like a rain forest in my home. No thank you.
• It leaks... I was SO excited to get this fountain. I havr an older round one that my cats love so i thought they'd like this one. They do! But... It
leaks. I don't know where it's leaking from but I've been trying to give it the benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe my cats were splashing it out
or the water was splashing from the spout. But after some time and observation, I've concluded it does leak all over the place and I'm past my
return window since I've been working a lot, so I can't even return it. I've double checked everything is in place as it should be and it's still
leaving large puddles on my countertop. Unfortunate that I have to change a towel under it every day. Love the design and shape and the cats
love the spout but... Beware of leaks.

Explaination
Possible reasons for the product's malfunction could be due to the following:
Insufficient regular cleaning: It is important to regularly and thoroughly clean the water fountain for at least
two weeks. This prevents the build-up of pet hair or food debris in the pump, which can lead to blockages.
Incorrect installation by the buyer according to the instructions: It is essential to follow the provided
assembly instructions in the user manual and any additional resources, such as tutorial videos on our
website. Some customers may unintentionally overlook this information, resulting in improper installation.
The water tray, filter, filter tray, and spout should be assembled step by step. If these parts are assembled
before placing them on the water pipe, the pipe may deform, resulting in no water or small water.
Please note that without specific details on the customer's usage and operational steps, it is challenging to
identify the exact cause of the pump's dysfunction. We encourage customers to provide as much
information as possible when reporting any issues, as this helps us better diagnose and address the
problem.
Possible reasons for the product leaking may include:
1.Failure to place the product on a hard and flat surface.
2.Incorrect installation by the buyer according to the instructions.
3.Cats playing or drinking water while sticking to the edge of the water bowl.
4.Water tank is broken.
To prevent overflow and possible leaks, it is important to follow the installation instructions carefully. We
provide a small silicone stopper to prevent water leakage, and it should be installed correctly.
Additionally, we have observed that some cats may scoop or drink water while sticking to the edge of the
water bowl, causing some spillage. We recommend reviewing the cat's behavior around the water fountain
to determine if this is contributing to the issue.
We would like to emphasize that we cannot confirm the exact reason for the product leaking without
further information on the customer's usage status and operation steps.
Customer may have received a returned product: In some cases, a malfunctioning product or product with missing accessories may have been returned by a previous customer and
inadvertently sent to the current customer. We would like to clarify that we do not sell any used products, and our factory has strict protocols in place for multiple weighing and
packing processes to ensure the quality of our products. This can be resolved through appropriate communication and resolution with our customer service team.
The product page provides comprehensive information regarding the overall dimensions of the item. However, determining whether the product is smaller or larger than expected is a
subjective matter that may vary from person to person.
Furthermore, the product description and accompanying picture do not indicate the presence of any lighting features. It is important to note that the color selection is solely
applicable to the filter tray and does not impact the presence or absence of any lighting elements in the product.
We consider the statement regarding the cat tipping over the water fountain and its perceived failure to attract the cat to drink as a subjective matter. It is important to acknowledge
that each pet possesses a unique personality and preferences, which can make it quite challenging for any manufacturer to design a product that universally caters to the needs of all
pets.
This comment refers to backpack and Eberlestock, even though we don't actually sell or manufacture those products. In this case, we believe there might have been a
misunderstanding or a mistaken comment left by the customer.
What we will do in the future
We prioritize timely communication with our customers and ensure that
all after-sales emails are promptly responded to with efficiency.
Furthermore, we take proactive measures by sending helpful reminder
emails to customers before they receive their products, keeping them
well-informed throughout the entire process.
We are pleased to report that after implementing proper instructions, we
have seen a decrease in complaints regarding this product. In fact, over
40% of customers have successfully resolved their issues by conducting a
thorough cleaning of the pump after following customer sevice agent's
guide.
To better serve our customers, we continuously work on enhancing our
product listings. Our updated listings now feature comprehensive
product descriptions, detailed specifications, and high-quality images,
allowing shoppers to have a complete and accurate understanding of our
products.
In our ongoing commitment to providing the best possible experience,
we will be improving our user manual and incorporating a QR code for
easy access to instructional videos. This will help prevent any potential
issues caused by a lack of proper cleaning.
