When water spills over the sides does it get trapped between the bowl and plastic? I have a lab and she's a messy drinker.

There are two holes that the bowls sit in. There is a raised lip that the metal bowl sits on, so the water is collected around the top. My cat likes to play in the water and I have no spills on my floor.

Yes, the plastic will catch the water. But it's easy to mop up. If she's extremely messy, recommend a large absorbent mat under the feeder stand.

I'd say so, depending on how messy of a drinker you've got there. Just beware of the chunks of food that may get dropped on the plastic as well. Once they mix with the splashed water, it can get a little yucky. I have to scrub this thing fairly regularly, but it comes with the territory. It's a great set of bowls, especially for taller dogs.

There is about 1/4" "tray" formed in the top and the bowls are sort of recessed. It catches my dog's spillage but he's not terribly messy.

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.

Yes, water spills over the side of the stainless bowl and then lays on the plastic tray surrounding the bowls since there is a lip to prevent the water from falling to the floor.

Yes, there is a bit of raised edge that catches water. However sometimes my dogs will get some on the floor as well.

No there is not. It flows pretty fast and the bowl fills up to the rim with water which may be why it spills over. The company is going to replace it for me, I hope its that I simply got a bad one. I will update the review when I get it all switched out. ☺

make sure that you are filling on the side of the base that says that it is for water. (one side of the green base says fill here for water, one says fill here for food ) If you accidentally screw the wrong side of the base into the container, all the water will spill out. It works great when it is in the right side.

The plastic is pretty rigid and would probably support a small frig. I bought this to put under my dog's Drinkwell Big-Dog Pet Fountain to collect her overflow/fallout. It also cleans up nicely with soap and water.

The bowl is easy to clean; however, if the tank has water and needs to be cleaned, the water will splash all over. The tank gets dirty inside in the water so that's my issue. Don't know how dirt gets up there???

Not officially and I don't think I would place it in the dishwasher even though it's all plastic. Seems like there are too many places for water to get trapped.

I'm not sure. The apron around the feeder is not terribly wide. If you dog has long fur, I suspect that you will still have water on the floor.

The top just sits within the glass beaker. It really doesn't fit tight. As I plunged down the top moved a little. If you notice one side of the black plastic is solid for when you plunge and the other has slits for pouring. Hope this helps.

No it does not. It needs to be stowed standing up to avoid spills. Thats the one tricky part but imo worth it since you don't have to dump it out and refill it like a regular bowl

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!

I have never had that problem. Probably filling the drinking area too full. What I do is fill the drinking area first and when the water is halfway up the filtering area I stop filling the drinking area. Then I fill the water bottle up to full and put on. That should work. The drinking bowl shouldn't fill up any more with water. When you get through the drinking bowl should only be about 1/2 full.

No, water comes out by itself,it's just a spring under the white part that allows water not to spill. It sort of serves as a stopper/ water suspension regulator. Hope it's clear. No, you don't have to push anything other than fill up the white container with the spring on the bottom of it and put it on top of drinking part.

I have a dog (black lab) and a cat. The previous water bowl I used for them, the cat would constantly swish the water and spill it and drag the bowl. Even when I had it on a mat. Now I have this and it doesn't move (I do not have a mat under it). It is very stable. Also inside the hole that hold the bowls have rubber stoppers so the bowls don't spin when they are eating and drinking. I love this.

We use this to fill water bowls at our bird rescue and it works fine. There is some spill from the bowls onto the cart. There is a bigger lip on three sides and the fourth side has a smaller lip. The water stays on the cart unless we have a major spill or hit something to knock the water around. Hope this helps.

It keeps water in the drink bowl as long as there is water in the container. You do not have to do anything to it. Works great

It's off balance. I stuck a rag just under the front of the bowl part and it hasn't leaked since.

There are gaps at the front and back of this drainer. I put my cups on he sides so I don't have problems with them falling out. I have had a few plasitc containers fall out from time to time but I don't see it as a problem.
