I use it for cats and tipping has never been a problem. Whether a dog might tip it over would depend on how large and rambunctious the dog is. I will say that it is much wider heavier and more stable than most pet bowls.

I've had the condo since my cat was only a few months old, she is now slightly over ten pounds and still runs up and down it. I have it against a wall and occasionally you'll hear it bang into the wall when she throws her weight around but we've never had an issue of it tipping. My mother in law has the same one and has a huge stray cat, no problem with tipping, 5 cats might be a different issue.

I just remove one bowl and use a scoop to fill bowl with food. Only thing I don't like is the water can get in the food if your dogs are sloppy drinkers, mine did not attend etiquette classes so they are sloppy drinkers!

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.

I had the same problem. What I do now..fill the blue bowl (I know, obvious) then place it somewhere firm, like on the counter. Put the bottom and tighten it just till it makes contact, do not over tighten, I use one finger to screw it on. Then press down around the edges of the bottom piece firmly so it slides on and then tighten the rest of the way. But again, do not over tighten, turn just till it makes contact. Hold it over the sink to be sure it does not leak. It will come off almost as easily.Had mine for almost 2 years now and no problems.

easy... just tap your fingers on it, and if your dog is like ours, it always wants to lick your hand.. failing that they can smear it with peanut butter.. I still leave a bowl of water out which he prefers, but at least if he tips over the bowl, he knows he can still get water.

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!

the bowl is tilted on an angle, which it doesn't really show in the picture...higher in front to back. I do believe one cup of food would fit inside this bowl, it also has little rubber legs (I have a cat that likes to move/tip over the water bowls...he thinks its funny, I find it less than amusing after the fourth time in one day...this bowl he cannot tip or move) which was why I bought it. Hope that was helpful. I will say that the one cup of food might fill it to the top but I'm sure your pup will fix that once he starts eating :)

Yes, that is correct. It doesn't seem large to me in person, but I guess that is relative to the space in which you're trying to fit it. I needed something with a little bulk to prevent my cat from tipping it over. He would always tip over stand-alone water bowls, but he can't move these at all.

Hi, I just bought this for my daughter and it does not attach to the floor. There is really no tipping danger, though.

I have the stainless steel fountain and I love it. The base is very wide and I think it would be hard to tip, HOWEVER, I KNOW how tricky cats can be, so if I were you I would buy the ceramic one - it's more expensive, but ceramic is very heavy and I think kitty would be hard-pressed to be able to tip that one over.

Re: handle/hose--not that I've ever noticed (I've had this model for about a year, I think). And it's very stable-- no tipping at all

I used this for my dog, to make sure he has water when he goes outside, and he is very energetic and will play with anything but he never tipped this bowl over. I have a different brand that I use for my chickens which was never tipped over either.

No, my clumsy 3 y/o has no issues. I have even stepped on it and tried to tip it. It is very easy to set up and break down, but is resistant to tipping.

I've put my 3 poms in it and never had any problem/never thought it would tip over! I think it's pretty darn steady!!

The only time I had a problem with overflowing was once when the bowl wasn't completely level on the floor. If you place your bowl on carpet or other soft flooring, you might need to use something underneath it to balance it out.
