How much water does it hold and how often would it need to be refilled, generally? I have four small dogs (6lbs to 12lbs in weight)

I'm not exactly sure how much water it holds but it's a pretty good amount. I have four dogs a little bigger than yours (15-20 pounds) and three cats drinking from it. I completely empty/clean/fill once a week and sometimes fill during the week.

Hi ,there is marking for min or max water level..I don't know how much water it holds.This is pretty big fountain..I have only one cat and she like it.I even bought for my son's pets.

About two liters. I add water as it gets to the minimum line and clean/refill once per week. With one cat and one small dog, I usually don't have to add more than once per week to keep it at the maximum line.

I have 2 cats that drink from it, and I could go over a week without adding water if I had to, but I add in a little every few days just to freshen it up, and dump the entire thing about every 7-10 days, wash it out and refill with fresh. I just almost an entire gallon of water....I use bottled water and have no build up and water is sparkling clean.

It holds just a little less than 2 liters of water. And I usually refill everyday at least 1 liter. But thats because I have an english bulldog and it consumes lots of water. It weights 25 kilos... Sorry for the bad english... Im in Mexico

It would depend how often you fill it up. I have a small dog and it lasts for 3 days....

I have an 8 lb. little dog and he has a good amount of space to move around . I don't think there would be enough space for your four dogs at once though.

I think it holds about 1.5 gallons of water and the equivalent amount of food. I use a 1-cup scoop to fill mine, and it takes A LOT of scoops to fill it up. It feeds my chihuahua mix and Boxer (shared dish) for about 3-4 days.

It holds 3 to 4 cups with a small amount of the food heaping to get them started. It took my golden and rotty 5 minutes compared to a minute. Well worth it.

It can hold a lot, at least 4 or 5 cups of food if not more. I normally use 2 cups for my german Shepard

It is pretty heavy when full. Water weighs approximately 8 pounds per gallon. It is a little awkward to turn it back upright when it is full but I have 2 large dogs and this lasts 4-5 days. I would definitely purchase again. Hope this helps

I got the $25.49 one & it cones exactly as it is in the picture with the water coming out of the spout. I don't know how many oz it is. It was my understanding you could buy an additional reservoir but how it is is plenty for 2-3 cats & probably 2 small dogs. You can always just add more water or buy the reservoir later if needed.

Hmm... I don't pour dog food into mine but I can put at least 2 of the average size water bottles in each large pouch & then there are 2 smaller ones, which are pretty small.

it holds 2.5 cups of water and about 1.5 of dry smaller size dry food.It's too small for my 30 pound mixed breed to eat out of comfortably.

I second Sigmond's reply. Mine holds 2 small mutts - together weighing about 35 lbs. I wouldn't "push it" with any more than that, though.

I have 1 cat of my own that I bought the bowel for. But there is another 2 cats an 2 dogs in the house. So I fill it everyday. I've run out of water an the pump was still ok.

It holds at least 5 gallons. We have a bad habit of overfilling it, which slows down the release of water (the extra weight seems to shut down some of the watering holes). I recommend filling it about half full.

There's a hookup where you can attach it to various things with a bit of jury rigging. Idk how much water they'd get at a time. If it's a small dog it should be good.

It's pretty big - I have 4 large dogs. But it's large enough so you don't have to constantly fill the containers. The sound bothered the dogs at first - but now they all use it.

I have to be honest here...I've thought about buying another one just for the dog, but I think it would be a complete nightmare! It might hold enough water for both. But, thinking about my dog, I change her water regularly and even more in the summer or just needs changing because she's a dog! My newer puppy is about 60 pounds, but I've seen her with her doggie daycare buddies, and it's a mess. I can't imagine unhooking it, cleaning it, plugging it back in, etc., multiple times during the day. And, cleaning and changing the filter(and that could get expensive), I wouln't. Sorry, I hope that helps! Good luck! I have to be honest here...I've thought about buying another one just for the dog, but I think it would be a complete nightmare!

I usually fill it with water at the dog park and l let my dogs drink, but then I empty it after they are done, so I'm not sure I can attest to how long the bowls will actually hold the water.. Sorry.
