Anyone buy this for small dogs, like a pug? Can their heads fit to drink from bottom bowl? My cat and dog use the same water bowl. thx!

I don't only own a dog, only cats. One of them is a very large Maine Coon and he does fine but since dogs tend to lap water from bowls, I would think your pug would do alright.

I have a pug/pek mix and she not only uses it without any issues but LOVES it!

It's approximately 3" from the top edge of the bottom bowl to the side of the center tower. My cats drink from the top or from the stream. I don't think they could comfortably use the bottom bowl. Picky, picky, picky.

I purchased this for my two cats. I wouldn't think your pug would have any problems using it.

Our dog is a Labradoodle. He has a big face, but he has no trouble drinking water from the Gulpy. It's agreat item and we use Gulpy every day. We have three of them. �

To be honest, we've never had any spillage, but we have a cat. I know dogs can be a little more rambunctious when drinking from their water bowls. The waterline stays about an inch from the top. We love this water fountain. Our cat loves it too. Probably not the answer that will help you the most. Good luck!

Don't know about cats but it's sure made a difference with my dog. Plus my vet also advised to not let her gulp water. So we also use the Contech water bowl as well.

Is not very big bowl, maybe two cups or 16 oz. I use it for water. Very good size for small dogs such as Maltese or Mini Poodle. Dogs can't push it around.

It moves a trickle down the spout, like what is shown in the picture. It's enough for a dog or cat to lap up. For bigger dogs or dogs that are really thirsty, they can drink out of the bowl, too. I would say the trickle is about what you'd use when leaving a hose on a tree during a dry-spell -- nice and slow. Oh, and I haven't had any problems with the motors on either of the two fountains I have from Drinkwell, and I've had them for several years now.

I bought this for my cats for a water bowl (have one that thinks its funny to tip them over and drag it - which with this bowl he cannot do) I would consider it a small bowl (it holds a cup maybe a little less). The little tabs on the side I think would be good to keep the ears away from the bowl... I love this bowl. it's super easy to clean, it's hard to move and tip over. It should work for your dogs if they don't eat over a cup of something at a feeding :) Hope that helps. My elderly cat doesn't have to bend or lay down to drink he can stand up and he's pretty tall (according to my vet) in the legs.

FYI - the bowl is fairly shallow. It's a little small for my dogs, but they're pretty messy! I found some white plastic bowls at Container Store that just fit the opening and are deeper, although not as cute. They work really well.

I was sent this question to see if I could answer it for you after purchasing the 24 oz bowl (by mistake) The 24 oz bowl would only be big enough for a small breed dog. Your asking about something twice its size but own a bull dog mix. I would say say probably yes, unless your dog has issues drinking from something close around his/her face. The 24 oz bowl was soooooo small! Hope this helps :(

As of right now, I still think they don't like to drink from it... I heard a report (from my wife) that she saw one of the two cats drinking from it, but I have not been able to verify this myself. I have filled it up with water twice because it went below the fill line, but I'm not sure if that is due to cats drinking the water or evaporation.

The small should be fine for your pug. I have a lg. Jack Russell (19)lbs. and two cats. They seem to drink more water.

Our cat has no problem with the size of the open area of the bowl (probably because he prefers to drink from the fountain part). My daughter has two huge dogs who I can't imagine drinking from it, though. I guess it depends on the animal... and its size.

it will work, better if the big dog has a pointy beak (collie), less good if it is wide (st bernard). The bowl is 6" wide, 7" long at their widest points. I got it for my cats, and was not happy to discover that they love to splash in it, which makes a huge wet mess around the dish. A big dog will probably make a wet mess as well, so as long as that's not a problem. Otherwise I'm happy with it, nothing to plug in, I know my pets won't run out of water.

Vel is a cat? I have two big boys (cats)- the bowl holds plenty of water, which weighs it down pretty significantly. Also it's pretty wide/low to the ground. I'd be surprised to see even a dog knock it over.

I don't think so. The bowl on this one is not that large and most likely would not hold enough water for a week with the cat drinking and evaporation. However there are other fountains on the market that have a larger water capacity; look for ones made more for dogs as these will have a high water capacity.

Since I bought mine for the 6 cats, I chose small, but it is easily big enough for a pug to be able to drink comfortably.

I think so--it works great for my pug. She can reach the food fine with her cute little face, and it does slow down her eating. We got her the size small bowl, and it's a generous size for her. We got one for her water, too, and now she only dunks part of her face into the water when drinking.
