Material & Hygiene: Why Stainless Steel Matters
The material is more than an aesthetic choice—it affects hygiene, ease of cleaning, and how long the fountain lasts.
Why stainless steel is a plus:
-
Scratch‑resistant: 304 stainless steel resists scratching better than plastic, which helps reduce places where bacteria and biofilm can cling.
-
Non‑porous & odor‑resistant: Stainless doesn’t absorb smells, helping keep water fresher for picky pets.
-
Easy to clean: Many stainless fountains (including Vacqueen’s) are hand‑washable or even dishwasher‑safe for the top tray.
If your current plastic bowl looks cloudy, scratched, or smells even after washing, stainless steel is a clear upgrade.
