Felaqua® Connect
The smart way to monitor your cat's drinking.
Felaqua® Connect is a water delivery and drinking monitoring system for cat owners who want reassurance that their cat is drinking regularly. It encourages cats to drink and provides owners with data to help understand their cat's drinking behaviour.
Dashboard
Get an overall picture of your pet’s daily drinking. View the total amount of water consumed in a day, when the pet last drank, number of visits today vs. average week and time spent at the unit today vs. average week.
Water Consumption
View your pet’s total water consumption (per pet) by day, week, month, or six months. Monitoring water consumption can help owners to pinpoint acute or gradual changes that may have been otherwise missed.
Drinking Events
Learn more about a pet's usual drinking patterns with a weekly view of all drinking events including the time, duration and amount consumed.

The importance of hydration monitoring
- According to vets, a change in water consumption is the most concerning health indicator in senior cats*.
- According to vets, a change in water consumption is second only to a change in food consumption as the most concerning health indicator in middle aged cats*.
- Despite the importance of information about drinking behaviour, over half of vets (52%) reported that it is difficult to get reliable information from cat owners to support them in making an accurate diagnosis*.
