I love this water bowl. My partner and I have house rabbits, and have always used a regular spill-proof bowl for their water and food. Since fresh water is critical for rabbits to have at all times, we would wash and fill the bowl every night and most mornings as well, which was never a problem. But then we adopted a third bunny, and suddenly the volume of water being consumed overnight or during the day was more than the volume of the large bowl, and we needed something compact that could ensure access to clean water for longer. This gravity-fed water bowl is excellent at doing exactly this. I was worried that it might be top-heavy and therefore easy for them to knock over, but after a few weeks, there have been no issues, and it seems secure and stable. I was also worried about leaking, as this seems a common issue for these styles of watering dishes, but again, I have noticed no issues with this so far. I was really pleased with how the gallon jug snaps firmly in place, and do not find it hard to remove, though find it best to do this in the sink to avid making a minor mess. I now monitor the water dish for fur and food contamination, and enjoy how I can take the whole thing to the sink, scrub out the bowl, and then tip it forward enough that the bowl empties of the soiled water and rinses itself, and then refills with the fresh water. It's very convenient, and my rabbits seem to enjoy it. If I could offer any improvements, I would really prefer the base to be high-quality stainless steel, and the reservoir to be made of glass, but models like that are not as well rated as this one, and I feel like this is an excellent product, despite being made of plastic.

This set is great. Bigger than I had expected. The feeder works great with my cat's dry food and the water has never overflowed. Now I have no doubt my cat will be fine by himself a few days. My cat eats as much as he can get so this can't be my routine feeding method but it's exactly what I needed in a pinch.

I bought this set a few days ago, since the one I had cracked. I had that one for 8+ years. I thought the previous one I had was great, but this one is MUCH better. The water jug actually has a spout on it, to hold the water & the base that holds the water is much larger than my other one. My previous one did not have a spout and the opening was smaller, so some days it was a challenge just to get the jug on the base. I would pray that the water jug got on the base the first try, without any spillage. I didn’t really need the food dispenser, but since it was a set & pretty good deal, I replaced the food dispenser as well. I highly recommend this pet feeder & waterer! I recommend at least the waterer to pet owners. My Boxers drink a lot of water, so this helps out quite a bit. I clean mine out with soap & water twice a week, since I have droolers! I also add ice to the jug. When I first got it, I put ice in the base opening & my puppy was entertained for hours! I don’t recommend that unless, you like cleaning up pools of water! This is a good buy & I highly recommend it!

Good size and works well. I don't have the problem other customer's have mentioned about water flow, as long as you hear it click in it should be good to go. I also like that the smooth surface is resistant to limescale build up.

It works wonderfully. I was concerned about the size when ordering but it is perfect. We have a 4 month old German Shepard and we are in the south so we were constantly filling his water bowl. This keeps him feed and hydrated for several days. I had no issues with the water lid. It was just fine when I tipped it over. My life just got alot easier! This one is cheaper than any other ones I saw but you can't tell. It feels sturdy and durable... as long as this guy doesn't chew it up!

The media could not be loaded.  This is a nice food and water dispenser for a smaller animal (cat/small dog). The food comes out easily enough and doesnt spill outside of the bowl. The waterer doesnt spill or leak unless it is moved around, it fills just below the rim a little bit. The food dispenser has an opening on top with a lid for easy fill up, but the canister can pop off of the base if it is bumped too hard. So if animals are playing and romping around it and land on it then it will come off. Just an FYI. The waterer is easy to fill and attach, it has a screw cap on the bottom that has a valve that releases water as the level goes down. It is not too big although it is about 14 inches with both food and waterer side by side. It should prove to be helpful if you need to be gone for a few days. I like the price and quality also, easy to clean and looks nice.

Never mind the haters, here's what you need to know:Of course standing water will result in mold.My research with hot tubs says: bleach in tap water is good for like 3 days.So, step 1 - maybe change the water every 3-4 days.Or go longer and see what the limit is...and subtract one day.Step 2 -- Rinse the entire thing out with water:bleach mixture periodically...like 10:1 or 20:1. Ain't no big thing.Size:The large size seems quite big but not ridiculously big.Fine for my mid-size lab.Probably fine for a great dane.probably unnecessarily large for a small or teacup dog.The small size is perfect for my cats.I'm sure would be good for small or teacup dogs.Those complaining about water leaks - if your LARGE water dispenser didn't come with a spring-loaded stopper, you'll have problems. Contact the seller and get a replacement.People complaining about the food dispenser getting knocked over and the top coming off:I've never had that problem w/ my calm dog. I think this is a RARE issue.But, agreed - the top is NOT screwed on, it's a pressure lit kind of like tupperware but a smaller lip so it's not a struggle to remove when adding more food.That said..I guess the option is to buy and try, and then return or add somen (admittedly) ugly packing tape to hold the top on from your rambunctious pets.I think this has been a problem for the small dispenser with some dogs.The large dispenser's top is fine, As i said, hasn't been a problem at all for me.People complaining about large water bottle collapsing from water pressure -- hasn't been a problem for me.That said -- DO twist the water bottle after putting it on the base so it's held in place.And when transferring from counter to floor, take care to NOT undo the twist.Some videos for this product neglect to do the twist...that's a mistake. !As for the items -- they work well, the price is good, I'm pleased.-- PTPGR

Finally, a gravity feeder that works! I've had others that required a tap to get the food to keep flowing into the dish. Not convenient if you're away from home for the weekend. There is no problem with this feeder. It never gets clogged, so the food never stops until it's time to fill the container, which holds a lot! This is the answer to my prayers. I won't have to worry about my cat getting her food while I'm away. I recommend highly!

In the reviews there were complaints about the dog food lid not snapping on. However, mine does. Maybe the manufacturer heard the complaints and made adjustments. My only issue is with the waterer. It is no reflection on the item itself, but a problem for my dogs. As the water is used in the bowl, it is replaced from the reservoir. When that happens, it gurgles and bubbles float up within the reservoir. This is all perfectly normal. I have 3 dogs. 1 Dog has no issue whatsoever. The other two were initially petrified of the bubbles and gurgling. Over the last month, they have acclimated to some extent. They will drink if we are standing with them and holding them, but they still shy away from the bubbles. I don't know how long it will take them to adjust as I would have thought a month would have been plenty. But at this point in time we are still pampering 2 out of 3.
