Is this big enough / good for large dogs? I have 2 goldens, 1 is around 110lbs and the other one is a puppy who I am assuming will be at least 80-90lbs. I currently have the Drinkwell Big Dog fountain which is ok, but a nightmare to clean. Is this big enough / good for large dogs?

I have two small dogs and three cats. I need to add 4 cups of water to it daily. I also add a measuring cup (4 cups) of ice cubes to it daily because I live in Florida and our cold water is warm. It's important to make sure that it has water or the pump could freeze up. It is very easy to clean. I clean it about every 3 to 5 days. I hope this answers your question.

Hmmm. Those are big dogs! (I LOVE Goldens. I had one once.) This is a good sized fountain, but you'd probably have to refill it a couple times a day, I'm thinking. Or, you could just buy two of them. The bowl measures 12 inches across, and the bowl itself (not including the fountain part) is a little over two inches high.

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!

Yes I would think so...maybe not both at the same time unless they share space well or one uses the basin while the other uses the smaller fountain bowl

I have one dog who is maybe 40 lbs and he drinks a lot of water. Always having to refill. So for 2 large dogs I would say no not big enough. But it is easy to clean.

Pioneer Pet also sells a reservoir for our fountains that hold an additional 70oz of water so that would make a great addition to the fountain and save you from having to refill multiple times daily. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at tina@pioneerpet.comThank YouPioneer Pet Customer Service

I have a 5lb yorkie and it's prob bigger than he needs. It's a good size for him; however a larger dog can use it but prob won't be able to go on the same pad as many times as my dog does. Hope this helps.

My golden needed restriction for surgery and he weighs 70#. I think I bought large which helped him to spread out. If u plan on using as a Dane gets bigger large would be better. Depends on weight too. If he weighs around 50, maybe could get by w medium.

I have the super large. My 100lb newfie and 75lb golden both use this all the time. Depending on how big your golden is the extra large may be a better choice to save on heat.

I would use the large Paw Wash. If you have any problems please contact me at katie@thepawwash.com and I would be more than happy to help!

you will work yourself to death keeping it clean. Filter system will have to be cleaned daily. This is geared to a small inside dog or cat. I have 2 large inside dogs and I grew sick of cleaning filters and now I just use bowl (threw away fountain part)and empty it twice daily and fill with fresh water. The bowl is pretty nice, but fountain is a pain.

One of my dogs is a 50 lb lab mix, and the other is a 125lb GSMD. This size is fine where the big guy isn't going to swallow. It's a great size for my smaller dog. Should be fine for your dog, I may look into the next size up if he's gonna be bigger than 50lbs

I would advise not to fill it up all the way because it is so so large, but it is very easy. It is actually larger than the ones in the pet stores that you see, so it is a great deal! I have 2 large dogs and they drink all day and don't even drink half a bottle! All you have to do is attach the gray drinking piece to the top and then turn it over, then set it on the ground.

Well.... it is fabulous for my 35 pound dog.... for the big guy.... 94 pounds..... you can do it but you get water all over.... it's ok for spot watching but for an all over bath.... it's a mess!!! :) I do LOVE the dog bath but better for a smaller dog! :)

no, i have three large dogs and this was the worst bowl i have owned. very hard to clean the inside and the bowl collects dirt. gave up on it and bought the dogit bowl and absolutely love it. the water flow is such that the dirt collects at the bottom and the water is pumped up through the bowl. the dogs take longer to get a drink and there is no more water slopped on the floor or dripping from their mouths. much better choice.

If you don't mind filling it up daily, and the two of you are not excessive water drinkers--then this size would be grand. I am single, and use it for drinking, cooking, and my dog (Toy Fox Terrier). I tend to fill it up every other day for myself and the puppy, on average; which means that we probably go through a bit more than 80oz day. If you two are an active couple, however, I would recommend the next size up. But it all comes down to how often you want to fill it. Berkey's are great, so either way I totally recommend one!!

I was very pleased with this fountain. It is easy to clean and very durable. I loved that it is stainless steel which is best for pets. My 23 lb Corgi mix and my 10 lb cat used it. I bought it for my cat who would not drink water that was still. I have heard some people think it was loud. The motor is quiet and the only sound I ever heard was the sound you would hear from any fountain. If that bothers you, I don't think any fountain out there will please you. Being that the combined weight of my animals was 33 lbs, I don't think your shepherds weight will be a problem. Keep in mind that water naturally evaporates. Its a fact. So, if your pet drinks a lot of water, combined with natural evaporation, you may need to add water maybe more than once a day. One other thing to think about is where you are going to put the fountain in relation to an electrical outlet. Ours was used in an area where there was a low plug just about a foot away. You don't want your pet, or anyone else for that matter, getting tangled in a cord and making a huge mess. That said, I think it was a good purchase on my part and hope you will too.

This is a great fountain, easy to clean and maintain. I have two cats, but your dogs size shouldn't be a problem, the bowl is large enough. I think that you would be happy if you decide to purchase this fountain.

My dogs are all huge sonthis size is good for me. Look on Amazon or gondirectly to Goughnuts site to see if they make extra small. It took more than a year before I had to send mine in for free replacement and I have a shepherd/rottie mix and a Chessie and they have big,destructive mouths and these toys hold up to them. I think if they make a smaller size you will be glad you bought it.

My large Golden approx. 80 pounds is fine....he is often joined by my Standard Poodle on the table....I do not encourage this, just the way they are...so for 2 minutes here and there it is holding an additional 58 pounds...seems stable in those moments

We have 8 cats so I clean the fountain every 3-4 days and change the filter every other week. Besides drinking, they wash their feet and leave litter in the bottom of the bowl, which does not filter out. Lighter-weight particles seem to filter out okay. I hate to say it will work for you and you find out it doesn't. Maybe someone who has dogs can give you a more definitive answer.

My largest is a 95 lb Ridgeback, and I have the large and xlarge beds that are flat. It might depend how your dog sleeps. My Ridgie stretches out, and extra large is definitely more spacious width wise, which is where I notice the benefit. I can't say enough about these beds. I've had mine for about a year, and the covers have held up to multiple dogs and washings and the inserts are in perfect condition. It is a relief finding a bed that holds up to use with large dogs. Mine are also diggers, and the covers are impervious to nails! I recommend the waterproof liner, too. You can't go wrong with these beds.
