Is there anything written on the inside of the bowl? My dog's current water dish has the word 'water' written on the inside and he growls at it.

Too funny your dog can read! Anyway the interior is black with a 3in long dog bone on the bottom.

No, the inside of the bowl is black and there is a white bone in the middle. Hope this helps!

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

Yes, the top of the stand around the bowls will fill with water and you have to dump it out. I too have a messly lab! It beats wiping it off the floor like I did with his other feeder though.

The motor is barely audible but when the water runs low the bowl makes a loud gulping sound as the water fills the bowl. If you keep the bowl in the same place your dog will remember where it is. They're very smart.

there is a ridge on the outside. It indents a little around the edge on the inside. They are really great bowls. We use them all the time to measure ingredients when cooking and to mix items together. You will enjoy using them.

I also have stainless steel. We have a English bulldog who is was very determines to get it out of the bowl... once she figured out she could, it was all over!

The "wave Pattern" is indeed on the exterior as well as the interior. It is not a deep wave pattern and I haven't had any issues with water from the dishwasher. As with all my bowls I try to stack them on an incline, so water rinses off of them cleanly, and not get caught in the rim of the bowl where the lids attach.

It works decently in a stainless bowl. Just monitor them and take it away as soon as they are done or they will start to chew the suction cup. Or, at least, mine did....I find it does not stick well to plastic bowls. It seems to stick best in a ceramic glass bowl which is fine for my small dogs. But, it did stick ok to stainless as long as the stainless is clean and add a drop of water behind the cup.Good luck!

I got mine for my cat. He was still able to tip it, so I got one of those black boot trays and velcroed the bowl to the tray, problem solved!!!! At least, when he did tip it, it wasn't as big of a mess as with a regular bowl!!!

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.

Hi JoshYes this is a good question. I have a much smaller dog "schnauzer" . She does a great job eating out of bowl, slowly but when she's starving there is very little movement chasing bowl. I give the bowl 5 stars!!

Are you sure you are just putting a cap full in? In my case my Shi Tzu never noticed it at all, and I use slightly more than recommended since he has small water bowls. Maybe a bad batch. Send it back to company via Amazon.

I would say 'no'. It's more of a decorative bowl. Don't know what it's been varnished with. Love the bowl! Gayle E.

Think of it like a water bottle in a hamster cage. The water comes out when the dog lick it. Not just drips.

My lab doesn't have a urine problem but he slobbers and licks his feet enough to wet the outer cover and I have never seen it go thru the inner waterproof cover. I have recently bought waterproof duck material to make another outer cover (Cooper (my lab) also chews the corners out of all the covers. Other than my "dog's bad habits" I have been very pleased with this bed and he loves it! Hope this will help in some way!

Ha-ha! Great question. That was my concern also. However... Keeping it clean from saliva was my major concern at first. It's tough but do-able to wash it with a round brush that cleans cups and glasses. But the slower eating procedure is so worth doing whatever it takes to keep it clean. I pop it in the top dishwasher once a week. There is no hair, crumbs, or dust. My chow hound licks it spotless.

Indeed, I have the same problem with mine. It's not a big deal, but the loose bowl fitting does allow the kibble to miss the ramp and end up accumulating underneath the feeder itself. As a temporary fix, I took some duct tape (is there anything it can't do?) and connected the bowl to the feeder. That helped a lot, but a better fix would likely involve mending plates and screws, perhaps arranged on the bottom of the unit. When I get a better look at this, it might prove possible to add (tape) a cardboard ramp to the back end of the bowl to direct the food into the bowl no matter if the bowl-to-feeder fit is not as tight as it could be.
