Is the actual bowl large enough that a large dog could comfortably drink from it?

We have a 60 lb labrador and she has no problems using it. The water lasts for a while since it is larger than many other types.

I have a chow shepherd mix and she managed alright but my friends mountain feist had trouble.

A small and medium dog would have no problem. I don't think it would be comfortable for a large dog. Not enough room for their head and it isn't very deep. Our small dog and cat share ours and is perfect for them.

A 10 oz bowl will be OK for a shih tzu. I got one for my 9 lb maltese mixg. He's 12 lbs now. But I never used it because this bowl is made to hang in the cage. His water bowl is outside the cage on the floor next to his food bowl. It is very well made of strong stainless steel. I didn't return it though. I keep it in the car for trips (for water).

Not sure. It's a small bowl. There is a slight lip on the side but it's small. The bowl is only 6 inches across. Depth is about two inches. It's perfect for my 10 lb small dog but my 80lb dog eats out of it with no problems too.

Design is great. I have 2 big dogs (60 lbs.) and 1 small dog (15 lbs.) and they can all 3 easily drink from it. They were wary of the fountain noise for a couple of days but are now used to it.

I would get a 4 cup capacity or larger. You want the dog to have room to move the food around without spilling. A water bowl should be at least as big.

Bowls are huge. I have a German Shepard and they are more then adequate. Good product

The large bowl holds right at 2.5 cups of large-kibble dog food. Hope that helps!

Its a fairly large bowl. My 23 month old eats from it so I would think its too large for.a 4 monrh old who eats only a few oz at a time.

The bowls will hold about 3 to 4 cups comfortably..and it seems very sturdy...have not had any issues with it at all. I have a older Golden Retriever and he has not once dumped it.

The bowl slides straight into the holder, which is bolted onto the cage. The bowl is held firmly enough that the animal won't knock it out accidentally, but can be removed by an adult human. I wouldn't do it while there is water in the bowl, it will probably spill if you try.

I'm sure this bowl can easily hold much more than 4 cups of food. We use it for water... Our pup drinks a lot of water and this does the job!

The height is a least 1 foot off the ground and the bowl holds at least 4 dry cups of dog food. I have a large collie (80 lbs.) and it's perfect for her size.

I've been grabbing some very cheap SS pet bowls from the dog section of a local discount store. I have cats, but the dog bowls are big and deep enough to hold the fountain and still provide room to drink. Anything made for pets will be designed with a wide flat bottom and will be resistant to tipping. You don't want to use something like a SS mixing bowl. Bergan makes some nice inexpensive ones.

As long as they both can reach the bowl it should be fine. My Dachshunds drink simultaneously now and then and when the level drops enough that the valve opens water flows fast enough that they can keep drinking.

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.

If you like these type of fountains,I think it would work for your dog.The bowl is fairly sizable,and your dog is under 50 lbs.Depending on where you place it,the fountain does make a distinctive,running water sound,which you may hear if you are in another room.

I actually have a stainless steel bowl in it for water. My dogs wouldnt drink water from the plastic ones. Diameter of the bowl is 8 1/4" & 2 1/2" tall. Fits great.
