Can puppies flip the bowls over and spill the water?

I doubt it. They are pretty firm in there, especially with water in them. Have to use your finger nails to get them out to clean.

The bowls sit in there pretty securely, but I wouldn't underestimate any puppy's ability to knock something over!

Not only can they flip it over... my puppy has specialized in the ability to catapult it across the room. He takes special delight in watching both water and food shoot across the room.

Hi, April, I bought mine for my cat and it seems sturdy enough. I don't think your puppy could flip the bowls, because they're pretty secure. The problem with this product, as I see it, is that the pet makes such a mess that you end up cleaning all these parts rather than just wiping up the floor. My cat made a mess every time he ate or drank and I ended up taking the bowls out and sitting them on the floor. If I were tempted to get a similar product again, I would look for something that held the bowls from underneath, so there isn't any surface to get wet/mucky. I hope this helps. (Edited to add: I'm also disappointed in the quality of the metal bowls; the packaging tape still hasn't come off the one bowl, which is frustrating).

I suppose that one could mount a food bowl as well as a water bowl in the crate but I wouldn't encourage it. We keep a stainless steel bowl of water mounted in ours. We treat the crate as her bedroom and have set times for feeding outside the crate; that way you can predict when your puppy needs to potty and start training for that.

My bowls are huge......I have an Australian Shepherd and she takes a couple of days to go through the water.

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.

The bowl is shallow enough and I think wide enough for a Pug to drink safely. I'm not sure how the Pug normally drinks, but it will have to work a little bit harder to lap up the water since it is a bit low. Tip the bowl so it is full and that will really work.

Depending how close to the edge they push Down on. If our dog steps on the edge it will dump. Unless it flips all the way over water stays in on edge

No. The only time that I had a problem with that was when I tripped and spilled it myself.. I like the bowl so much that I just bought another for the little Chi that I just adopted. Good luck and I hope that you like it as much as I have.Linda

I honestly don't know as my puppy usually doesn't go to the bathroom when I am gone. She did use the puppy pad in there once and there was no mess. She also did spill her water and it didn't go through, however it was close to a puppy pad and most of it seemed to soak up with that, so I haven't had that happen I can't honestly answer 100%, hope this was of some help.

About 40% of the bowl is open like a traditional drinking bowl, only with moving water. Depends on the size of the dog. You can always remove lid and just have an open fountain bowl.

The Big Dog Pet Fountain puts out a good bit of water, the stream of water is pretty good. Our dog loves it. Have you moved the the flipper located on the right side(which is in front of the motor) if you are facing the fountain. Move it to the right to increase flow. We have used this fountain for a long time, both our cat and dog love drinking from the stream so guess it enough for them

Yes but it doesn't measure out water it just keeps the bowl filled, so as the dogs drink the water fill the bowl. I like it very much I got 4 dogs and it last several days. Hope this helps.

should be...it is a great bowl and pretty deep...with the exception of my sloppy weimaraners who like to get their feet wet....

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

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.

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 have two cats, and some water spills out whenever they drink from the bowl. I put a plastic placement under the bowl.

I recommend letting her practice in the bathtub (with water), where it won't make a mess if she spills. Mine did this for a while around 9 months. She is 18 months now and uses these cups better than any other open cups we've tried so far.
