Which model fits your pet?
Two short questionnaires — one for fountains, one for feeders. Answer three questions and you get one recommendation, with the reason why.
Find your fountain
Three models. The real question is not which is best, but where your pet drinks and whether you want an app.
No socket where your pet drinks — that settles it. Only one of the three runs without one.
AquaPaw 2,5L
Fully wireless, so you can put it wherever your pet actually drinks instead of wherever the socket is.
- 2,5 litre tank, works without a socket
- Up to 90 days on one charge, USB-C
- Motion sensor, UV cleaning cycle, drinking habits in the app
- Filter every 2-3 weeks, 8-pack
You have a socket and you want to be told when something needs attention. That is the HydroBuddy.
HydroBuddy 4L
Notifies you when the water is low or the filter is due, and the whole tank is steel so it stays hygienic with less effort.
- 4 litre tank, fully stainless steel
- Tuya Smart: water level and filter alerts
- Easiest of the three to keep hygienic
- Filter every 2-3 weeks, 12-pack
No app wanted, and a socket available. Then there is no reason to pay for one.
FlowMate Pro 4L
Plug it in and refill it. The water window turns red when it is time. Nothing to pair, nothing to update.
- 4 litre tank, stainless steel drinking plate
- No app, no pairing, nothing to set up
- Water window turns red when it needs a refill
- Filter every 2-3 weeks, 12-pack
A dog or several cats drink a lot, so the 4 litre steel tank is the sensible one — and the alerts stop you finding it empty.
HydroBuddy 4L
The all-rounder: biggest practical capacity, all-steel, and it tells you when to act.
- 4 litre tank, fully stainless steel
- Tuya Smart: water level and filter alerts
- Easiest of the three to keep hygienic
- Filter every 2-3 weeks, 12-pack
One cat, a socket available, and no strong feelings about apps. Take the simple one.
FlowMate Pro 4L
Four litres is generous for one cat, so you will rarely refill it. No app to think about.
- 4 litre tank, stainless steel drinking plate
- No app, no pairing, nothing to set up
- Water window turns red when it needs a refill
- Filter every 2-3 weeks, 12-pack
Worth knowing: 2,5 litres is on the small side for a dog or several cats. It works, you will just refill more often. If a socket is possible after all, the 4 litre models are less work.
Find your feeder
All three feed on schedule without Wi-Fi and all three hold backup batteries. Size and extras are what differ.
A cat, a manageable refill rhythm and no camera wanted. The small steel one is exactly that.
ChromeFeeder 2L
Small footprint, steel bowl, no lens pointing at your kitchen. Everything a cat needs and nothing more.
- 2 litre hopper, stainless steel removable bowl
- No camera at all — nothing pointing at your kitchen
- Kibble up to 12 mm
- Four AA backup batteries, feeds through a power cut
You want to look in on your pet. Only one of the three has a camera.
FeedMate 5L
1080p with night vision, and a voice message that plays at mealtime. Five litres suits most households.
- 5 litre hopper, the all-rounder
- Optional 1080p camera with night vision
- Record a voice message that plays at mealtime
- Kibble up to 12 mm
A big dog or a long stretch between refills. That is a capacity question, and 15 litres is the answer.
Titan 15L
The only one that takes kibble up to 17 mm, on a height-adjustable stand so a big dog does not have to stoop.
- 15 litre hopper on a height-adjustable stand
- Kibble up to 17 mm — the only one that takes large pieces
- Triple-seal lid, voice message
- Fill it once and forget it for weeks
Nothing in your answers pushes to an extreme, so take the all-rounder.
FeedMate 5L
Five litres, optional camera, voice message. The one most of our customers end up with.
- 5 litre hopper, the all-rounder
- Optional 1080p camera with night vision
- Record a voice message that plays at mealtime
- Kibble up to 12 mm
One thing to weigh up: the Titan is the only one big enough for what you described, but it has no camera. If the camera matters more, take the FeedMate and refill it more often. If the size matters more, take the Titan.
Five litres is roughly a month of food for one cat, so you do not need the 15 litre model for that. If you want a real buffer for a long trip, the Titan gives you more room.
Check your kibble size before you order. The ChromeFeeder and the FeedMate take pieces up to 12 mm; larger ones can bridge in the chute. Only the Titan handles up to 17 mm.
Which grooming head does your pet need?
The FurVac itself is one device — the choice is which attachments you put on it. That question has its own tool, built around coat type.
Attachment finder
Two questions about your pet's coat and you get the heads that suit it, with the reason for each.
Open the attachment finder →Still not sure?
I still cannot choose between two models
Message us with how many pets you have, whether there is a socket where they eat or drink, and how often you want to refill. We will tell you which one we would take, and we will tell you if the cheaper one is the better fit.
Can I use one fountain for two cats?
Yes. Two cats on a 4 litre tank is comfortable. On the 2,5 litre AquaPaw it works, you will just refill more often. What matters more than the tank is the position — two cats often prefer two drinking spots in different rooms.
Does the feeder work for a dog and a cat together?
One feeder serves one bowl, so if they eat different food or different amounts you need two. If they share the same kibble and you are happy for them to share a bowl, one is enough.
What if I pick the wrong one?
You have 30 days. Return shipping is free and you do not need an account — it runs through our return portal. Unused and in the original packaging is the only condition.
Is the more expensive one always better?
No. The FlowMate Pro has no app and that is exactly why some people prefer it. The ChromeFeeder has no camera and that is the point of it. Pick the one that matches how you live, not the one with the longest spec list.
