How do you know what size to get for 1 medium cat? Do all 3 sizes each hold 1 gallon water?

We bought the large for our dog. It holds almost 3 gallons. Our neighbors have a cat and bought a smaller one. I'm not sure which size. The large lasts for days for our dog who is about 30 pounds.

Small is a half gallon, Medium is a gallon and Large is 2 and a half gallons. I got the Medium 1 gallon and I have a normal sized cat who I needed to leave alone for one week and he only used a half gallon in that week.

We picked the size based on the amount of water our cat drinks. But we change the water about once every 5 days but most of the time he has drank most of the water in about 5 days. He loves his water station. There is one thing about the water station. It can not be completely filled. Most of the time after filling it, the level is about 60%. I do not know if all 3 sizes each holds 1 gallon of water. It beats using our old cat water bowl. We had to fill old bowl 2 times a day.

Hi Aneesa. Search for "little giant dura-flex plastic utility pan 3-gallon". Make sure you're looking at the 3-gallon size, and plastic. It fits nicely. It comes in red, green and blue. I line the Little Giant pan with a jumbo size drawstring style litter box liner, and pull that tight underneath the Little Giant pan. This system is working great to keep the box clean and fresh.The Little Giant pan is available through Amazon, but I bought it locally at a local feed & grain store - I wanted the green one and it was much cheaper that way.

Ours was that size and we got medium. Just a warning, they will probably get chewed off. Our cat chewed the tips off of all of them rendering them useless.

Cats and dogs are more comfortable eating and drinking from a raised dish. Check out the large stoneware water bowls on Amazon - they hold 2.5 cups of water and are 6" wide and 2" deep. Good for one medium size dog or several cats or small dogs. In eggshell, gold and gray. Also see the raised stoneware dry food/water bowls. 5" wide, 1" deep and holds 1 cup water. In 7 colors. However you do it, please raise your pet's food dish. He/she will be happy you did!

If you're looking at the one rated for 10 gallon, it's medium. I was getting the 12 pack unassembled. If you want to go cheaper, get some quilt batting (100% polyester) , and add a satchel (reusable) http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00176AZ8S?cache=8e3be96cf94c62d77a34666f665837f8π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1414349575&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1 filled with charcoal on top

Don't even attempt to put both into one carrier. Buy 2 of the large size. Note the size, length, width, height of the large carrier and you'll see what I mean. I have 2 large ones for 2 cats.

Ruthie, I keep mine in a 1 gal jug. I am not sure it will all fit into one 5.5 qt.

About two liters. I add water as it gets to the minimum line and clean/refill once per week. With one cat and one small dog, I usually don't have to add more than once per week to keep it at the maximum line.

I'm pretty sure I have the medium size for a 12" cat, so I would think maybe a large might be better. It's been awhile so I forget the sizes. But, I can tell you it is made well, much better than I have seen in pet stores for the money.

I'm not sure. I use 5 gallon jugs. But I would think that 3 would work if it has same opening but just a smaller size.

I agree with both other answers. Get small only if it is a kitten. I got small because my cat is a petite adult and they were too small. Medium for a regular sized cat and Large for a big cat.

i would say Medium. The Large one holds alot of water but dont know if you need one that big for the paw opening.

About 3 gallons. They look like they'd hold more, but you really don't want to fill up the top one. When I did, I got water all over the place. By putting no more than 1/2 gal. in the top portion (after the bottom is filled), you should do just fine. I normally add more water right away if I've used a fair amount for something.

My cat eats about 1/4 cup but it will easily hold 2/3 cup as well. It says it holds 1 cup, but that seems a bit too full to me

I found mine on here and it has worked out for me and my three cats you may need to buy three for you dogs. I fill them up every three weeks but with dogs you will have to see how they drink to do there. I love mine and I love the water one also got it so when I go on vacation just fill and don't have any worrys. I hope this will help you

Medium would probably be fine. My one cat is a Bengal that is about 14 lbs. and my other cat is smaller but 15 lbs--I use medium for both.
