Automatic water-ers?

[GreyhoundGirl]

Anyone have any experience with these? It seems Jenny is always drinking a lot... Especially in winter because she's running all day.

I saw one at canadian tire... But it needed to be plugged in. Are there any versions that are auto-water and filter that do not need to be plugged in? Or any that plug in that you would reccomend.

Any info about auto-water-ers is welcome.

I've never heard of those...that's pretty neat though.

Really?! I'm sure you have... they have them everywhere...



they call them dog water fountains... pretty much a waterfall with clean water...

I don't use them, but I've seen them. I just have a few buckets sitting around. Charlie is a water bucket mover so an auto waterer would be torn up in no time at my house.LOL

my dogs have a 5 gallon bucket tha gets re-filled daily! they are quite the water hogs, especially after running around outside! It would have to be one big automatic waterer!

That's the one I use for Fenway and his kitty brothers, Cosmo & Maxie. I change the filter about once every 2 months and I fill it with water about every 2-3 days.

I found several that use no power- and cheaper to boot.. http://www.petsmart.com/global/produ...N=2025790&Ne=2 or here is a page of them . http://www.petsmart.com/global/searc...294961566&Ne=2

Greyhoundgirl- I know you know this- but others might not.. The link I posted also shows a automatic feeder. Keep in mind- although plastic is safe for water, its not safe for food. The fat in the food will absorb into the plastic, making the plastic bowl eventually rancid. Plus- a autofeeder where they can eat as much as they want- is a good way to end up with bloat in a large breed dog because the dog can eat whenever they want- even after exercise..
