 Price: $44.50(As of Wed, 10 Mar 2010) Common Opinion:  Product Overview and Summary No more empty or dirty water bowls! Make sure your dog drinks only fresh, clean water. As soon as your dog approaches the WaterDog, it dispenses a stream of fresh, cool water. When your dog leaves, the water turns off automatically. You'll never have to worry about what your dog has been drinking again! For a healthier, happier dog - and for your own piece of mind - choose the WaterDog! Customer Experience and Opinions Mixed feelings, November 29 ,2009 Lynn reveals: My dog loves this product. There is a downside though. We have placed the fountain on the side of our deck; Every time we walk by the fountain turns on. Our deck is permanently wet now, not good for the wood! This is something to consider before purchasing the product. However, our dog loves the fountain and I will try to figure out a way to sort our placement issues out.
GREAT!! LOVE IT!! Great for chewers & pups that dump their water bowls. . ., October 27 ,2009 Melinda (Inland Empire, California) suggests that: 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. :-)
Won't work for problem "chewers", September 15 ,2009 Rachel Hester (Silicon Valley, CA USA) thinks that: I ordered this item a few months ago and it worked well for the first week. Like another reviewer, I placed the watering bowl underneath to catch the water until the auto-shutoff. The product started to work intermittently - so I replaced the batteries but it still only worked every other time I tested it. Our two labrador retrievers must have gotten frustrated when it didn't work, because we came home to find it laying on the ground chewed up. After a complex repair, we got it mounted again, only to come home the next day and find it on the ground, chewed up again. It is a great concept, but it's too easy for the dogs to work the unit loose from the pipe, and too expensive to replace each time it gets attacked. Maybe it should be made from stainless steel.
