Prestige Pets Road Refresher™️ - Cat and Dog Water Bowl Dispenser - No Spill Water Bowl for Dogs and Cats - Travel Cat Bowl or Dog Bowl - Grey - Large

I read reviews. Hesitant to buy due to the confusion surrounding the styrofoam ring, difficulty separating the top bowl ring from the bowl, and the function of the floating unit that controls water level. Relented and bought this bowl. IT WORKS AS DESCRIBED AND REALLY CONTROLS WATER TRAILS! Unpackaged the bowl. Examined the styrofoam ring. Obviously not a functional seal as the two ends do not even meet. Took advice of another reviewer and threw it away. Undertook practice, before putting into use, separating the top black ring from the bowl unit. No problem. Set bowl (empty of course) in vertical position, resting on the bottom edge of the water bowl. put my hand into the bowl, hooked fingers up under the ring to spot where ring and bowl come together. Pressed down with thumb of my hand on outer top edge of ring, while applying pressure to lift using the fingers underneath, to separate ring from bowl. It snapped loose. Cleaning is a breeze once taken apart. Have learned there is less "pink" bacteria build up in the standing water in this bowl than was in the open bowls I previously used. I find cleaning once every4-5 days is very sufficient. One does have to watch the available water level to keep sufficient water available for pet. You will quickly master the observation skill related to the amount of water available. My dog is a big drinker so I have to fill more often because he does not have an open bowl with more than a pint always standing available. It is now a habit for me to add water after having used this for almost 3 weeks. I introduced the bowl by putting normal "max" fill in it and sitting it beside dog's regular bowl. For half a day he just looked at it, but when I let his old bowl run low, he simply switched over with no hesitation. Left old bowl near for 2 days, then removed it. He drinks normally from his new bowl with no change in drinking behavior. No more mopping up water slop 3-4x a day or more! Seldom is there any water drooled, even on his new silicone feed/water mat. This bowl is GREAT and I recommend it reminding buyer there is a slight learning curve to use it without "making problems for yourself." Snapping the upper ring off takes practice for a quick, easy separation, but it does come. Refilling water more often takes attention, but quickly becomes habit and is rewarded by no wiping up tasks. I would not recommend this bowl for an outside dog as on a hot day, or if dog Is a heavy drinker, it is conceivable he would take the available water level below the level where he can get a good drink. For a small outside dog, or light drinker it will not be an issue. And after all, water slop outside is not the cleanup issue it is for an inside pet. The only other matter to pay attention to is that of not adding too much water. There is a fill "max" line on inside of bowl but I do not find it visible, while just looking down on the bowl. I have learned to gauge the "top off" quantity based upon the low water level. I use a plastic container that I have established as being big enough for a "nearly empty" top off amount, while also able to transfer a small "top off". You learn, by eye, the needed amount. If you keep adding and the water accumulates to beyond the max line, the inner plate will begin to float upward and your dog gets confused by its new position. You can tell looking at it that It has floated upward. This bowl works and can really reduce or eliminate the towel wipe-ups from your best friend's sloppy drinking. In 3 weeks I have only had to do a wipe up twice, and I attribute that to his coming inside, after play, and wanting a really big hurried drink.

This bowl is amazing. I’ve had for 2 weeks and not a drop of water has spilled out. My dog can drink while we are driving down the road and now I know she always has water in the car.

I'm writing this review to address some of the concerns people have had with the bowl as well as my solution and to also be honest that the product description isn't 100% accurate. BUT I still swear by this bowl. This bowl isn't the end all to your puddle problems: It will MITIGATE how much water you clean up and after switching from an open water dish. My dog is a dummy who decides to hold a mouth full of water and THEN move away from her bowl. This bowl won't fix that problem, but it lessens how much water she can get in her mouth and therefore there's less water to clean up. The inside dish will sink a little + my solution: The little dish on the inside that keeps them from drinking too much is ok, but the plasticy Styrofoam sort of material it uses to help it float does soak it up and so it won't float super well. The manufacturer should find a new material that doesn't soak up water. I've fixed this by adding ice cubes and then water to the dish so my pup has access to cool water at the icecubes keep it floating at a good height for a while. I also clean out her dish before bed each night so it has time to dry out before refilling it in the morning. Fresh water for the pup and it keeps the bowl clean. Win-win. What if my dog pushes the inside dish down and makes a mess: Lastly, if your dog plays in their waterdish or tears it up and you come on here claiming it doesn't work–it's not the dish. Dogs are animals and they learn their behavior from what we allow or teach them to do. If you allow them to play in their dish they'll view getting water as a time for play. Don't be like the people who buy a dog whistle to stop their dog from barking and are then surprised the dog doesn't know what to do when this sudden sound shows up.

Works great for travel. Been looking for a solution to put in the back of my land creature for a while in this so far is the bill.

First thing I did when I got this was fill it up and take it to the dog park - when it was time to leave I tried to turn it upside down to empty it and nothing came out! Well, just a few splashes here and there as I tried to shake the water out - I was immediately impressed! I live full time in a camper trailer and this thing is awesome! It's a small space so the (3) dogs and I are always kicking it and no spills. I usually leave it full in the trailer when I move from spot to spot, so it is one less thing to worry about falling spilling all over if I hit a bump or two. And as a bonus, due to the floating plate design, it really helps to minimize dog drool spillage and keep my floors less dirty :D. I am buying a second one to keep outside because the dogs are usually tied up and tend to spill their bowls with their leashes. This bowl is very bottom heavy so it is hard to turn it over (although it is not magic, so with leashes flying all over it does happen)

We got this bowl for use in our RV. It is definitely neater with very little water spilling out and it holds a good amount of water for our use. The top lid is has a good size curved rim to help with keeping water in the bowl. However, the floating plate is very tight in the bowl so it does not really float. When I push on it to loosen, it simply moves lower in the bowl. I’ve also found the top lid to be difficult to remove for cleaning.

This is a great dog's bowl, Especially fabulous for trips in the car, but also useful at home. My last one lasted 20 years.

I first purchased one of these about 13 years ago. It was awesome. Minimal spillage/drool. I just recently had to throw it away as it was no longer moving up and down smoothly. So I got a normal cheap water bowl thinking it would be fine.......NOPE the water was everywhere so after only a few weeks I bought another Road Refresher. Honestly the difference is amazing. The only water bowl I would have.

Me parece un sistema ideal para los que viajamos con animales, para que puedan tener acceso al agua en todo momento. Este bebedero tiene unos velcros en la parte de abajo, los cuales son ideales para fijarse en alfombras y que no se desplace con el movimiento. Se llena de agua y la parte "central" hace efecto boya, evitando salpicaduras, derrames y esas cosas. Importante ir revisando el agua cada 3 o 4dias ya que al estar estanca, se acaba ensuciando el fondo y precisa limpieza y renove de agua. Muy satisfecha.

Mon chien a 14 mois, il sort d'un refuge où l'eau était mise à disposition dans des seaux pour tous les chiens. Autant vous dire, que chacun se précipitait un peu pour boire et tout ce qui allait par terre, chacun s'en tapait royal. Evidemment, sitôt arrivé chez moi, mon Chopin a bu comme un petit cochon, mettant de l'eau sur deux mètres à la ronde dans la cuisine jusque dans la salle à manger. Je ne vous dis pas combien de papier "sopalin" j'ai passé pour nettoyer au quotidien, car non seulement, il en mettait de partout mais il marchait dessus, sinon c'est pas drôle ;-) Cette gamelle a pratiquement tout réglé ! Fini le ménage systématique autour de la gamelle et aux alentours. Cette gamelle est super bien conçue. Le principe est simple : entre le socle qui repose à terre et le couvercle, se trouve une espèce "d'assiette" en plastique comportant des petits trous ; c'est par ces petits trous que l'eau sort modérément et au fur et à mesure que le chien boit. C'est ainsi que l'animal apprend à boire lentement et moins d'un coup ; ce faisant, il en met forcément très très peu à l'extérieur de la gamelle pour ne pas dire pas du tout au bout de deux jours où il a appris à boire lentement donc plus proprement. Franchement, je n'y croyais pas, et bien je suis ravie du résultat !

Excellent ! Mon intérieur me dit MERCI ! Je complète avec une gamelle en extérieur. Ceci est une gamelle d’appoint , le chien (surtout s’il est grand!) ne peut pas vraiment boire à sa guise. (Chien de 60Kg) n’hésitez pas , ça limite VRAIMENT l’effet piscine intérieure.
