Automatic water-ers?

[xcolbi]

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.

Do you have to plug it in? Do they trip over the wire? Isn't having electric water appliances dangerous?

I could buy a simpler one for $10 next time I'm in town... but I like how that one filters... When Jenny drinks she usually drops a lot of hair and mud in the bowl.

Usually they have just a tank that fills when the water is used- You want to rinse the bowl out daily anyway and they just pop in. I had one years back but found I did more lifting than just having bigger bowls was easier. I have two sets of this I am attaching. Borzois do not drink alot of water on raw diet- but still- there are 4 of them..

Yes, it gets plugged in. It's right next to the wall so they don't trip over the wires. I was going to get one that didn't plug in - all you did is fill this big jug with water and tip it over into the holder and the water would come out. However, Cosmo has a tendancy to knock anything with liquid over.

I can't have a flower vase - Cosmo knocks it over.
I can't have a humidifier - Cosmo knocks it over.
If I have a drink, I have to watch it - cause Cosmo will knock it over.

He's obsessed with liquid.

But with the automatic waterer I have, he can't see the little jug of water because it's built into the machine and there is a cover to hide it, so he just drinks from it - doesn't try to tip it over.

The wires are constructed so that it never touches the water. It's pretty safe.
