1. Is the lid water proof ? 2. Does the entire flap move in to allow the dog to eat.

Water should not enter around lid from above however a rain storm could push rain in through the feeding door. Water that hits the feeding door may run down and possibly enter there as well. LOL, I guess the best answer is no, it is not water proof.The feeding door is hidged towards the top of the door and swings inward allowing pet to access feed at bottom of feeder.Hope this helps.David

Yes lid is waterproof. Front flap pushes in so dog can fit entire head into feeder section. Unit drops kibble to bottom tray as space is created, though I manually propel it so my dog doesn't have to.

The lid keeps all rain water out and the flap moves easily to allow our yorkies access

I don't know if the lid is waterproof, we keep ours in the barn. The flap moves about halfway in for the dog to eat. If too much food is in the bottom the flap has less mobility and doesn't move in as much. Our dog doesn't particularly like eating out of it but we haven't tried any other kind of self-feeder with her.

Yes, the lid is water proof and fits snug. The entire blue flap opens to allow access to food. The only draw back is occasionally you will have to assist the food in sliding down. My dogs are gentle eaters and the box does not move. Although one of my dogs have figured out that bumping the flap a few times produces food. He weighs 125 pounds! Lol....

The lid is water proof. I'm not sure about the flap, though. We keep ours outside under the porch, so it hasn't really been exposed to rain. I did accidentally spray it with the hose once, and the food was still dry.

No not really. It is ok in the rain without problems. My dog sent swimming with his on and it seemed to shorten the collars life span. If your new to this door I would recommend having a spare collar around. Best wishes.

I have mine under an overhang. The lid closes fairly well but i can not vouch for how water proof it is.

The tag gave us no trouble, but I have read that others have had some. We positioned the height of the bowl so that it stayed outside the bowl while our dog was eating. I would think that the tag would have to come off the collar to swim, but have not had any experience with that. Love the bowl. It keeps our "swiper" dog out of our other dog's bowl and has saved us a lot of monitoring and refilling food bowls.

Yes. The flap is opened or closed with a zipper. When unzipped the opening is not covered by any type of material or netting so the animal's harness should be secured with the interior clasp.

The flap doesn't slam down that fast & the animals' tails are able to hold the flap up and do not get caught. Never had a problem yet (have had these doors and 3 cats plus 1 dog have used them).

Thanks for the information. I don't think she'd be able to get into it, since it looks like you need to get a grip on the indentations that make the 'handle' of the lid. The container she got into previously had a latch that had a good place for her to grip with paw and claws.

We keep one outside with fish food. It's under and awning so it doesn't usually get direct rain but it certainly gets wet. The food stays perfectly dry. It has been out for years without issue. We used a small carabiner through the locking hole at the top to prevent small animals from getting inside.

I do not have an answer to that question, but I have 3 dogs who use the door very frequently and have not had an issue with the flaps in the time I had it which is close to 2 years now.

About 40% of the bowl is open like a traditional drinking bowl, only with moving water. Depends on the size of the dog. You can always remove lid and just have an open fountain bowl.

No lid----gravity holds the water in the bowl. Due to the design of the unit, the water level is NOT at the top of the blue bowl, so it does not spill over if used on a boat, car ride, or on your floor. I bring it to the dog park daily and it is one of the greatest inventions since sliced bread! I have used it in car rides and on pontoon boat rides. You can also pack iced cubes in cavity to make for nice chilly treat for your dog or cat. Perfect for travel! David

it holds water just fine. it is a travel bowl. it will leak some. I only fill the bowl as needed. when the dog is thirsty i fill it up. when hes done I dump whats left (mostly slobber) out and wait til hes thirsty again. if you want a bowl you can fill once and leave alone, this is not for you. if you need something like that a regular bowl would be a better fit.

We got this last fall and there have been no leaks yet - from rain or snow. My husband is impressed with the design. There is an outside lip on the lid and then an inside lip on the bottom. So unless the lid is open, water should not be able to get in. Hope that helps!

It is a single flap door, but there is a second hard plastic sheathing that you can use it to lock the pet door when you travel.There's not much insulation. It has insulation strips to go between the window and the pet door but the glass is likely not as insulating as the windows in modern American homes.

No, the inside is like lambs wool. It would not be water or urine proof. My dog LOVES this bed!

I feel it is very sturdy and animal proof for dogs or racoons if the lid is closed properly. A bear, maybe not! HAHA Good quality item.

I'm pretty sure that it is not water or chew proof, but if you could prevent those two things from happening I'm pretty sure that it would work for that purpose.
