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).

It's like a tap, it only flows water when the dog licks it... You save water :)

The motor is barely audible but when the water runs low the bowl makes a loud gulping sound as the water fills the bowl. If you keep the bowl in the same place your dog will remember where it is. They're very smart.

Hi Russell, there is no verification that I could find but there are millions of pet bowls out there, if it worries you so much or is such a big issue for you then buy a different type. My dogs have been using theirs for quite some time now, the bowls go in the dishwasher, they look really cute and the ants don't get into their food. Best wishes Sarah

I use mine on wood and on concrete when they eat outside. They slip once in a while if they are licking really hard at something stuck to the sides. My largest dog is 50#. I bought mine because my other stainless steel bowls would travel the whole room while they ate. Don't have that issue anymore. I am really pleased with these bowls and especially the price.

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

Yes... It is possible to chew it up. It is hard plastic. I had one for many years for my 10 year old German Shepherd. New dog and we used the same bowl to travel to Florida as we did with the other Shepherd who passed. Terrific bowl and never spills while travelling unless the dog picks it up. Our new dog (one year old puppy 80 lbs.) did that and ate the top after spilling the water once when left her for a bit in the truck. We promptly ordered 2 more. Terrific product and no more spills OR eating from our new Shepherd. She is over it... Ron...

no, i have three large dogs and this was the worst bowl i have owned. very hard to clean the inside and the bowl collects dirt. gave up on it and bought the dogit bowl and absolutely love it. the water flow is such that the dirt collects at the bottom and the water is pumped up through the bowl. the dogs take longer to get a drink and there is no more water slopped on the floor or dripping from their mouths. much better choice.

this is the reason we got this fountain..... our kittens drink it and never try to splash.... the regular water dish in our house they still tip over so this fountain did cover the spilling problem.

It's big enough, but your dog may feel more comfortable with a larger bowl. You would also probably have to fill it daily for an active large dog. Also, since the bowl is smaller, you might have a big splatter problem.

I bought this and I would say it's intended for smaller dogs. A big dog would drink the water too fast and go thirsty. The bowl is just the right size for dog food for dogs under 20 pounds.

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.

I have never heard of that brand, but this water bowl has literally worked perfectly, never spilled. In fact, when we aren't traveling, my pup still prefers to drink out of this water bowl over her normal one!

I suppose so, but it's all slobbery. Better to pour out just what you think the dog needs, then add more if it's not enough than to pour slobbery water back into the canteen.

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.

I don't see why this wouldn't work for cats. This bowl has been a lifesaver in our home. You really can pick it up full of water and tip it upside down, no spills. My son always tries to spill the water out & it never comes out! So whether you have a dog (or cat) who knocks over the bowl or a kid, it works

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.
