Rocco enjoys his Drinkwell Avalon Fountain by PetSafe!

It's pet hydration month and there's no better time to make sure your pet is drinking enough water. We've got a solution for you that Rocco just LOVES -- the Drinkwell Avalon Fountain by PetSafe. 

And today, here's your chance to win one for your own furry family members! Read all the way down to enter our giveaway.

But first, here are some important things to know about pet hydration.

You've likely read that you need to drink about 8-10 glasses of water a day. That actually can vary according to your size, diet, activity level and other factors.

But what about your pet?

The same types of factors apply to your pet, but generally speaking, a dog or cat should drink about an ounce of fluid a day per pound of body weight.

Check out some of these interesting facts from our pals at PetSafe.

So how can you ensure your pet gets enough water a day? One way is to make drinking fun!

Water is tastier from a fountain!

I really can't explain WHY Rocco thinks drinking out of a fountain is so much fun, but I CAN tell you that he will walk past his regular water bowl to the fountain to eagerly lap water from it's gently falling stream.

I enjoy the soft trickle of water in the background, and I like that the fountain filters the water and looks great too!

I found the Avalon Fountain easy to put together and clean, once I did it once or twice. I clean it about once a week (the recommended amount) to ensure that the motor and filters don't clog up. You'll probably want to purchase some extra filters to have on hand, so you have them when you need them.

This fountain comes with both a charcoal filter (which should be replaced every two to four weeks) and a foam filter (which should be replaced every four to eight weeks) to help everything run smoothly and keep the water cleaner and fresher.

Here's a really helpful video from PetSafe that shows you how to clean the fountain motor.

The fountain holds 70 ounces of water and it's best to keep it pretty full.  So I add about a glass and a half of water every day (about the amount of Rocco's daily requirement). If you have more dogs, you'll want to keep an eye on the water level and fill it more often.
