How tall is it at the top of the fountain where the water comes out? I have two pomeranians and was wondering if they could reach it to drink?

It is 9.5 inches to the top of the black container, add another inch or two for the white fountain. I took mine apart and just used the black container because there were no filters to keep the water fresh. But I have two great danes... it would probably work OK for smaller dogs.

I want to say it is about 8 inches or so. We have 2 normal size cats that don't have any problems reaching the water. I would think that the Poms would be just fine height wise.

They would probably be able to reach if they can put their paws up on the edge, but might be hard for them depending on how small they are.

If they're the smaller "teddy bear" type Poms, no way. If they're the leggier "partial throwback" or even taller "throwback" type Poms, no problem. I have a little teddy bear style pom and a leggier partial throwback and the leggier one can drink from anything my giant shepherds can. The little one needs a much lower water bowl so we found a fountain style that's marketed for cats and it's perfect for her.

It's 10 inches to top of black part then 2 more inches to where water comes out. It works great for my 70 and 85 lb labradoodles, not so sure it would be good for small dogs

YES, I can answer this question. You should fill water station to 'water level that is indicated'. You should check periodically depending on the thirst of your pet (s).

I have two large standard Goldendoodles and they have no problem with access. I think the opening may be about 4". I suppose a very large mastiff or Newfie, or a very short faced large bulldog could have trouble with it, but I'd be surprised. I absolutely love ours, and so has every dog that we have fostered and babysat! It keeps their beard lots dryer and the water seems to stay cleaner too. It's the favorite waterhole at our place!

Our dog is a Labradoodle. He has a big face, but he has no trouble drinking water from the Gulpy. It's agreat item and we use Gulpy every day. We have three of them. �

Without measuring, I'd say it goes from about 1" to 2 1/2". The smaller wrens splash as well as dove & blue jays. Ours is located on the edge of the patio close to feeders & everyone gets a drink including squirrels. It's lightweight & easy to turn over & hose out before refilling.

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.

It moves a trickle down the spout, like what is shown in the picture. It's enough for a dog or cat to lap up. For bigger dogs or dogs that are really thirsty, they can drink out of the bowl, too. I would say the trickle is about what you'd use when leaving a hose on a tree during a dry-spell -- nice and slow.Oh, and I haven't had any problems with the motors on either of the two fountains I have from Drinkwell, and I've had them for several years now.

I think they probably could learn or be trained to operate the water fountain. They may be abit to light, as I think that would have the most bearing on their learning. My dogs like it as do I. A wonderful product.

I run the water out before I let my dog drink, he does not know how to work it. The fountain sits in the shade for the most part and the hose is short so it only takes a few seconds for the hot/warm water to run out.

I just unplugged it to check. Yes, but only a little and only if it's full. There is a little water in the center hole and around the edge of the blue center piece. If you don't have power, just take the top off to make it a regular bowl. I always visually check the fountain when I feed them since I keep somewhat close to their food. I also wash it out about once a week.

The water runs down the left side of the fountain into the bowl, there is also a 96 ounce option for this stainless raindrop also - which has a slightly larger area opening. The bowl has a 9" diameter, so the opening is probably around 4 inches on this particular bowl. Even very large dogs (mine is 130 lbs) can usually drink from this bowl with no problems.

To be honest i woulndt recomend it , the weight of the water plus pressure made by the drinking animal could make level be unbalanced , tipping it foward and water could continuesly come out

I cant think of any area. You can modify your water bottle to hang from the top which is reinforced very well. We use a raised water bowl for our chihuahuas. The canvas floor is very easy to dry/clean. Hope this helps

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.

It fills almost to the top of the bowl. It works really well especially for big dogs. We have a Daniff and Rottie.

It is about two feet tall. It works great for one fish like a beta which is what I got it for. Makes the water changes less . But it is made of very thin acrylic and it scratches easy and the suction cups from the pump leave a mark.

I usually try to get it up over the pump, so about 2". You'll need to refill as they drink, of course.
