Small kitchens: where a fountain fits
3 min read · Sippy Paws
A small kitchen does not leave much floor. But a fountain can still find a home with a bit of planning.
Here are some ideas that work in tight spaces.
Measure first
The Sippy Cordless Fountain, 4 L has no cord. Check a corner, a spot beside a cabinet or a gap by the wall.
Leave enough room to lift it out and carry it to the sink.
Use a corner
Corners are great for pet water. The fountain sits out of the way, and your pet can still reach it.
A Silicone Pet Feeding Mat at about 18 x 12 in fits many corners.
Go cordless
A cordless fountain does not need an outlet nearby. That gives you more options in a small room.
Our 4 L fountain is cordless and battery operated.
Think about doorways
Keep the fountain away from where doors swing and people walk. A calm corner is better.
A mat helps keep the spot clear and tidy.
Use the wall
Place the mat along a wall so only one side is open. Your pet reaches the water, and you walk around it. If you need a smaller spot, the 4 L is the smaller fountain. Take a tape measure to the corner before you order, because all sales are final.
