Thinking about buying PetSafe? Buyzello covers 2 PetSafe products in automatic pet feeders and pet water fountains, each with an independent Buy, Consider or Skip verdict. Our highest-rated PetSafe pick is the PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain, which typically sells for $45–$65 in the US.
The PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain is best for bigger dogs and multi-pet homes. Its key feature is big 168-oz reservoir with a free-falling stream, and it usually costs $45–$65. Buy it if you have a larger dog or several pets and want fewer refills. Skip it if you want the quietest fountain; owners say the pump and splash get louder as it ages. Our verdict: Consider, with a research score of 7.4 out of 10.
The PetSafe Smart Feed Automatic Pet Feeder is best for not our pick. Its key feature is wi-Fi feeder with app scheduling, and it usually costs $120–$180. Buy it if you find it at a deep discount and already use other PetSafe gear. Skip it if you want the best value; owner reports of app and connection hiccups and a higher price make cheaper feeders a better buy. Our verdict: Skip, with a research score of 6.4 out of 10.
How does PetSafe compare with rivals?

Our best pet water fountains list ranks them side by side so you can see where PetSafe wins and where it does not.
When you buy PetSafe online, check that the listing is sold by the retailer itself or by PetSafe's official store so the manufacturer warranty applies. Register the product with PetSafe after it arrives, keep the order confirmation, and note the return window in case it is not the right fit.
Capacity: about 60 to 100 oz suits one cat; bigger dogs and multi-pet homes need more. Material: ceramic and stainless steel resist scratches better than plastic. Filter cost: add up a year of replacement filters before you buy.
Many owners report that their cats drink more from moving water. That can help cats who eat mostly dry food. Ask your vet if hydration is a concern. Rinse and refill every few days, and fully clean the bowl and pump every one to two weeks.
Subscribe and Save on Amazon can lower the cost of replacement filters. Fountains are often discounted on Prime Day and Black Friday, and a spare pump is cheap insurance.
