    anyone have one of these?

    ok I am curious if anyone has one of these or has ever used one, I am thinking about getting one because of the 3 liter capicty as well as the circulation flow, as some of my dogs refuse to drink water that has been sitting for more then 5 minuts, its really annoying to have a dog waiting for you to flush the toilet and to throw their head in the second the flusher is pressed when their is perfectly good water right around the cornor I just dont want to spend $30 on it if it does not work as advertised.

    No, we don't own one of those. We actually have a regular old fountain that we set up in the house, it was supposed to go outside as decoration but the dogs enjoy drinking from it so it never made it out.

    I have a small similar fountain that I use for my cats. They like it. It makes a horrid noise when the water gets too low and it's a bit of hassle keeping the pump clean, but the cats do like it and drink more with it.

    That site is in pounds BTW, so the actual cost is double in Canadian dollars.

    no, we don't have one but I have always thought it would be a good thing to have.
    Canadian dollars are twice as much as pounds? Pounds are worth about twice as much as US dollars!

    I don't have it but I have something similar: http://www.thecatconnection.com/page...RINKWELLBIGDOG

    It works well for what it is supposed to do. With three large dogs, though, I'm still filling up the resevior at least once a day, usually more. With my three I have to clean it once a week or else it can get really nasty. My Labs are very messy, though. They always play out in the dirt and come in and get it all in the bowl. But, even so, I don't think I'll ever go back to just a regular bowl. This stays clean much longer. Even over the three months I had just Mandy I was changing her water bowl (a regular stainless steel bowl) at least twice a day. Now, with two more dogs, I only have to refill it once or twice day, which isn't much of a hassle. I'd much rather clean this once a week then change out the bowl several times a day.

    One thing you have to remember is to not let it run dry or get low. It's really bad for the motor. With this particular fountain it starts spurting out water and it's kind of loud. Otherwise, if you keep the water bowl full, it's VERY quiet. It's the quietest one I've had.
