dogs like cold water in summer :)

Review Date: March 12, 2007

We loved our waterdog, and so did our dogs - it didn't take long at all for them to figure out how to trigger the unit to dispense water, and it was nice cold water straight from the faucet. Our only mistake was leaving it on the faucet in the winter. It got too cold, cracked one of the pieces and started leaking. However their customer service was great, and they sent us a replacement part at no charge.

Gotta love it !

I purchased one of these last year for my german sherpard and I absolutely love it! I have it connected on my front porch.
My dog was trained easily to use it and knows exactly where to go when thirsty.
The only thing I do is every day I wave my hand in front of it to activate it to run the water from sitting in the line all night. So I get fresh cold water every time for my buddy.

More than a water dispenser

Reviewer: mgs,

I have 2 dogs, over 100 lbs. each. Training took no time, they were more curious about it than afraid.
Having an automatic water dispenser such as this is quite invaluable.
We used to fill up buckets of water and leave them in the back yard, but that's a bad solution:
- Water gets hot and dogs don't drink it -- they would storm the water hose whenever I'd get home just to get some cold water
- Water stays in the bucket, and if it's plastic then you get a slow release of toxins into their water
- Water is still - and you get mosquito eggs causing heart worms
- Water gets dirty because the dogs get dirt on their faces, then in the water, then drink it.

Obviously with an automatic water dispenser that's connected to a hose and turns on only when the dog is near none of the issues above exist.

We didn't install the Water Dog as recommended - instead of connecting to the spicket we ran a hose under the back deck and then zip-tied WaterDog to a post. This way it's in the shade :)

Love the product.
Could be cheaper.
Still worth it.

GREAT!! LOVE IT!! Great for chewers & pups that dump their water bowls. . .

I was a bit leery buying this at first. I have 3 large dogs. Two of them are puppies!! Let me explain . . .I have a 1 yr old Rott and a 8 month old German Shepherd and a 12 yr old boy. The G.S. 8mth 60 lb puppy loves to dump and chew up all water bowls. I even tried going to a horse feed store and buying a heavy, weighted down 12 in diameter 5 in tall ceramic bowl. Thinking I had won since he couldn't dump this one . . He pawed all the water out. This was all at the beginning of summer and I was worried about them (especially my old boy) being w/o water while I was at work. So, I bought this automatic water fountain. IT IS GREAT!!!! I was sure Mr. 8 month old would chew on it . . .he hasn't!! I love that they don't have to lick it to make it work as my old boy would not have done that. It senses as they walk up to it and turns on. I put my large weighted down bowl under it to catch the water. ALL my dogs like it and use it. The G.S. pup likes "turning it on". The pups drink straight from it while my old one drinks from the bowl. The G.S. pup does play in the water and paw at the bowl. But, there is always new, fresh water available!! No one has chewed or messed with it. I have had it about 6 months and it has had NO problems and I LOVE IT!! If it broke I would go out the same day and buy a new one. :-)

On Second Thought...GREAT PRODUCT!

I've been waiting for this product for years...found accidentally online. I need to use it indoors (bathtub) since my dog prefers to drink from running faucets, and I tired of his off/on demands. Took me several hardware store trips to find the right adapters to make this work my way, and it does. However, it is sonar (not movement) triggered, makes it quirky for a small dog to use. A great idea, a good product, but could use some updates to make it truly incredible...and it isn't cheap...HOWEVER, it has changed (this aspect of) my life. Now my dog can get his own running spigot water at 1:30am without waking me up, not to mention when he comes back from walks and playtime. Takes a little training for both the machine and the dog, but not much. The dog learned a lot faster than the machine, but once they "got used to" each other, it is amazing. And the batteries seem to last pretty long now that it has settled into a routine. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, if you need one.
