If the dog does not drink all the water in the trough, can you tile the bottle to pour it back in?

When using this in the car, the best solution we found is keep a cup or similar plastic container with a lid to pour the excess into. Any attempt to unscrew and pour the excess back into the bottle is not likely to end well.

No, you'd have to unscrew the bottle to put any water back in, and that would be a big pain.

No...that makes it great so you can also drink from it. You want to put water in trough as needed. We use these all the time. Have one for every vehicle, camp, camper and house.

I honestly don't know as my puppy usually doesn't go to the bathroom when I am gone. She did use the puppy pad in there once and there was no mess. She also did spill her water and it didn't go through, however it was close to a puppy pad and most of it seemed to soak up with that, so I haven't had that happen I can't honestly answer 100%, hope this was of some help.

The are in which your pet drinks from is smaller. I'm not sure which space is intended to be drank from but my dogs drink from the larger lower open part of the dish. This dish becomes loud as the water level is lower. The dish sits lower on the floor than our previous dish. Easier to clean than our last.

YES, I can answer this question. You should fill water station to 'water level that is indicated'. You should check periodically depending on the thirst of your pet (s).

I used it directly from the bottle. Was generous in using it depending on how matted the dog was.

I have this for my German Shepherd. It contains some of the water. To answer your question ~ no, it will not. My dog still slobbers water on the floor after she drinks.

Yes. The less movement the better, as that can cause dripping. Put a couple drops of chlorine bleach in it and you won't get algae. shade helps. Mine are attached on the outside side of the kennel as secondary water source (after a bucket) for our cleft palate dog, who can drink from a bottle easier.

Actually, Mary Lou, I think it DOES help with that! My large sloppy-drinking shepherd mix drank a lot more "daintily" from this than from his usual water bowl. Unfortunately, my (relatively) smaller dog wouldn't drink from it at all, so I had to retire it fairly quickly.

Make sure the water is ambient temperature. Then, I usually prime the the water bottle before placing it in the cage. I hold it upright (as if it were mounted in the cage) and I use the fork tine to prime it, this give the water bottle the back pressure it needs. I do this repeatedly until no water drips appear. The trick is to get sufficient back pressure in the bottle. Do not use any grease as this may be toxic to your pet.

Every dog is different but perhaps you could try first introducing it without being turned on -- just simply leave it with water in it and use it as a water bowl first, then as your dog becomes more comfortable with drinking water from it, you could introduce turning it on.

I'm not sure, but if you could add liquid through the feed tube to make sure it doesn't overflow.

Trust me if the dog gets thirsty they will smell water and there is always a drop of water near the tip of the bottle that will attract them. Hopefully you will not be crating your dog for such a long period of time that they will get dehyrated if they do not drink while actually in the crate. Hope that makes sense.

There is no built in cooler so the answer is no. My one problem with this dog bowl is if the pump quits the animal cannot get a drink of water. A major design flaw as far as I'm concerned. If you are going to leave your pet for a day or so you need to provide an alternate source of water in case the electricity goes out.

I cant think of any area. You can modify your water bottle to hang from the top which is reinforced very well. We use a raised water bowl for our chihuahuas. The canvas floor is very easy to dry/clean. Hope this helps

I don't think so but if I was thirsty I would not hesitate to do so provided that it was clean of any chemicals. I use it sometimes to fill the pets and birds water bowl with no ill effects. It is plastic and very sturdy. You could contact the company for the exact material used. Hope this helps...........David

If it is just dirt or light mud, water should work. I add some soap when one of the dogs steps in poop and it works great.

yes, there is a chart on the side of the bottle suggesting amount to squirt on food according to the size of the dog.
