WaterDog Motion-Sensing Dog Drinking Fountain
Who needs a person to put out a water bowl when you've got RoboFountain?
From the website:
- WaterDog® Automatic Outdoor Pet Drinking Fountain
You love your dog.
You want him to be happy, healthy and secure.
Having fresh, clean water available is essential to his health and overall well-being.
Providing this, however, can be a challenge.
Water bowls and other waterers quickly become stagnant, get warm and require constant cleaning.
They can also harbor diseases such as giardia, coccidia or mildew.
Your dog is thirsty and requires a clean fresh supply of drinking water to ensure his good health.
The WaterDog is an outdoor automatic pet fountain and is the most advanced method of keeping your best friend happy, healthy, secure and hydrated.
It is a simple solution to an age-old problem.
By using Ultrasonic Sensing Technology to detect the presence of your dog, the WaterDog knows when your dog approaches and immediately turns on a gentle flow of fresh drinking water.
When he is finished drinking and leaves, the water turns off.
By attaching the WaterDog to your outdoor hose spigot you can satisfy your dog's water needs.
The WaterDog is always available.
It could not be easier.

I just purchased the Waterdog and the darned thing won't stop running. Before I hooked it to the faucet, I tested the sensor and could hear it "turn on and off". But when I hooked it up to the faucet, it never stops...or at least not in a few minutes. How long does the flow take to stop once the sensor has been tripped? Any ideas how to fix this?

I am sharing this with much trepidation, as the girls at work made fun of me for weeks when they found out I cut my son's PB&J sandwiches with a star cookie cutter and put sprinkles on top for him in his lunchbox. (He was four at the time, geesh. I don't do it anymore. I'm sure that would no longer be cool for an almost-first-grader.) Now, I "draw" goofy faces on his pizza with the pizza sauce squirter thingie.
But my dog only likes her water with ice cubes in it. And when we go out of town and the neighbor is watching the dog, I'm always embarassed to ask her to put ice cubes in the dog's water, so I usually don't. And I worry about her the whole time, fretting over her big, sad eyes staring at the tepid water. ;)
Spoil the ones you love, that's my philosophy.

I am familiar with the "Lixit". In fact I had that first. The dog has to hold his tongue against the lever to maintain a flow and thus limit his drinking ability. Did you have any experience with it? Imaging drinking from a water fountain, compared with from a Lixit that you advise. No comparison.

The sort you can get here fit on a tap. Plenty of flow. When the dog pushes the end it rocks inside the tap connector and opens the valve - couple of litres a minute at least, and that's without having the tap on full blast.

The hampster cage bottle is fraught with problems. Too low flow, hot, germy. Most problems with dogs are diet related and the quantity of water they receive generally is too little. This give them plenty so that they stay hydrated, and kidney infection free.

On the other hand you can get things like hamster water bottles that fit onto taps - only one moving part and no power supply. Much more sensible.

The one I have is awesome it save water, because I do not wash or refill bowls. I have no more water chores. It flows perfectly for the dog to drink and I'd say about a pint fall to the ground after each drinking episode. Fresh cool and clean water always!
