Liked right away. I heard some say that their dogs took a while to get used to it, but Gus came in from a walk and drank with no delays. I noticed several reviewers had water getting into the floating part. I just noticed that today. I was afraid it had snapped together and it would be hard to separate the gray & white pieces from each other. That wasn't the case. I used a knife. Found an edge that didn't align perfectly and with minimal force separated the edges. I worked the knife along the edge and just kept opening the joint until it came apart. Mine had no bacteria of algae and looked total clean. I was careful and didn't damage or even scratch the plastic. I washed it, aligned the top and bottom and pressed it back together. It's just a friction type fit with not snapping barbs that lock together. Gus loves it!Pros: This product really helps keep the water in the bowl. My lab acclimated quickly and doesn’t mind the float. The product is made from smooth plastic and has rubber feet to help keep it from traveling too much.Cons: I have to be careful not to put my thumb on the top inside ring when I go to fill it up or else it pulls out of place. It’s easy to snap it back in place but annoying. The float has been noted to leak in other reviews. It hasn’t happened, yet. Because it comes fully apart, it is easy to clean.No Way of buying this !! I should have know better in buying one of these The durability of this bowl is really hard to say how’s its going to hold up. That’s because every night of his live so far he has Dumped over his dish just as he seen it was getting time for bed. He knew it was as soon as you say boys pick- up your toys and put them in your box. So very slow and barking so loud At his Big Brother that was found just before they were going to send him to another shelter. That’s is do to his size they told my master. That he {my master}has trouble walking due to MS. That my step brother taught me to stay out of his way, of getting around, is by Rolling, & with six(6) wheels on his chair. But as I BARK so LOUD at my step-brother is because he Druses all over my toys while he picks them up for me. That ways he gets to go outside first, if we both go at the same time at night we have troubles of my barking at theses outside guys in the Spring, you only can see a white stripe on there back when the moon shines. And they like my master hates when I Bark late at night outside so does these little things with a strip. But I always would tip over or pull our water dish then run back to the far away back door and sit waiting my turn to go outside. And me being so small a Yorker & big brother a Black Lab at 79#. Would always get the blame for water all over the floor. I told him I would get back at him for picking up my toys and getting them so wet and doggie smell all over them. And all the years that I spilled water and you would try to move it where the master sets it. But Your BUSTED EVERY TIME, so very funny. Now this new dish, there No Way to leave dents or teeth marks in it. Now way of dragging it across the room so water splashes out and onto the floor so You Big Brother Don’t Get BUSTED anymore. I can’t stand this that he thinks you’re the Best Boy he has. Because he catches me taking your toys & dropping them in the Bathtub. Or under the table and the nurse jumps out of her skin when she puts her foot down on them. Or when I Put my toy in her bag and I wine like you put it in there. But they both said it’s not wet enough if You put it in there, so they Yell at me, where are you at laying by the sliders. This Bowl is really cool how the water comes up to drink it, also cool how it can’t be moved but the Coolest Thing about it ?? He Puts Lot More Water in It !! Because he knows one of us can not slide it to make anymore messes for him.But Big Brother Did You Feel It in Your Mouth ??The Water is Staying So Much Colder in this Robin Egg Blue & Bright White,, with a Big Paw Like Yours Big Bro,. May I call You my Big Bro Forever, as Long as Our New Dish Will Last !!! Right Big Bro ?? What a Great Dish will Last a Long Time,, and Colder Water for Long Time, No More Splashing to get into trouble Big Bro says Happy For That !! Ruffruff NO Barking !!My black lab drinks like a maniac. She sticks her whole muzzle in and CHOMPS at the water. She throws water around while doing that, and then when she’s done, water just spills out of her mouth!Not anymore!!! She has to work for it by only using her tongue and it’s been a miracle. No more gigantic puddles of water all over my kitchen floor!The only problem is that it needs to be filled a lot more frequently due to it’s smaller size, but that might be just because we have multiple animals using this one bowl.I love this bowl though!Boyfriends dog rides in the semi all the time. She won't drink water when it's splashing around so this works great no more splash no more spills and she finally is drinking enough water to stop utisThis keeps my Boxer from slopping the water onto the floor from his jowels. It is a bit cumbersome to pop it open and clean, but it is worth it.. I have a motorhome and it goes down the road without spilling even with out the insert.I have two dogs one being a jack Russell who's a menace. He would leave puddles of water after drinking because he dunks his face in the bowl. My wife and I have been very satisfied that not only has the splashing been reduced to droplets but he hasn't chewed the darn thing. I'm very happy with this product. Droplets are no big deal but the puddles were just the worst!Fácil de usar, únicamente cumple con la retención del agua (sin fugas) pero es difícil lograr que el perro al beber no se hudesca su barbilla y al terminar deje camino de agua (salpicando el agua)El plato es excelente para evitar que se empape toda la zona donde toma agua mi perrita. Al principio batallamos que tomara de ahí, pero se fue acostumbrando.We got this after looking for a water bowl my cat couldn’t tip over and despite her best efforts, this stays upright. It’s also easy to fill.Tengo una border collie de 2 años, nos ha funcionado super bien, se resolvió el tema de que regara por todos lados el agua, excelente compraLos perros pueden tomar agua sin mojarse los bigotes y sin chorrear en el piso. Excelente compra
