I purchased the 2.5 gallon one for my 2 large dogs (65 lbs+) about a month ago and it’s been great! I previously just had a standard bowl and was refilling it 2 or more times a day. I fill up the waterer about once every 3-4 days and both of my dogs are pretty heavy drinkers. I didn’t get the larger size just for personal preference. I would rather fill it up more frequently and know the water is being cycled through and not sitting as long.They both took right to it. I was worried the slightly gurgle sound it makes when the water is filling up in the bowl would turn them off (one of my dogs is a real chicken), but it’s not loud and doesn’t phase either of them.I wish I had gotten it sooner! It took me 7 months after getting my second dog to finally make the purchase, but I wish I had it even when I just had the one. I did not realize how often I was filling up a regular bowl.Haven’t had any issues with it. When I go to refill I just make sure I give everything a good wipe down to clean it up and keep any mold away. Amazon’s price on it can’t be beat especially for the convenience factor the product provides. I highly recommend for anyone with a large dog or multiple dogs!

I bought these filters and the bowl last year around this time. My “test year” has gone well: it really helps with keeping the bowl clean. Maybe my dog drinks more water and thinks it is tastier, or not, either way, the primary purpose is to keep icky stuff from growing in the bowl. I can leave the bowl for a week or more without needing to refill, and when I do have to refill and clean, it’s much easier–no slime lining the bowl anymore; the filters are definitely worth not having to clean slime. For the filters to work, however, you DO have to REMOVE the clear PLASTIC COVER from the filter packet; the plastic covers are not water permeable and will prevent the water from running across the charcoal and other material that provides purification.

The media could not be loaded. Took a look at this in Petsmart and ordered here because it was cheaper. Wanted some more water capacity for the pets. Tip for people struggling, after filling the unit up while the opening is still at the top put the base on and lock it in so its upside down, then since the base is install and locked in, quickly turn it over.Update:I wanted to add some photos and a video of me installing a filled water jug. With the installed filter it’s flow rate is reduced to the point that I didn’t spill any water. People who have trouble with the weight might consider Installing the base on top of the jug, lock it in place and then slowly turn it over. Honestly it wasn’t too bad doing it the way I did.

The media could not be loaded. I got the 4 gallon one, since my 9 mo old daughter and our Golden Massiff Mix kept tipping the regular dog water bowl over! This one her, will do the trick! Secures on well! I dont have to worry about refilling it anytime soon( altho I do have 2 dogs and 2 cats, so I’ll see how long it lasts haha) the water filled up the bowl quick too ( I didnt use the filter it came with however, so i dont know how fast it does with it) it is quite heavy when filled almost up, so what i found was easy , easy to screw the cap back on, and then get the dog bowl and put it on upside down and twist it on till secured, then flipped it all at once. Make sure you have a good grip though, you dont wanna bend the bowl with all the weight if the water jug! Overall, I’m satisfied with this product!

So I bought this 6 months ago for my two large dogs. I have to fill it for them every 4-7 days so the water stays pretty fresh. Any longer than that I suggest sizing down.It does come with a charcoal filter which is nice. Replacements can also be bought on Amazon, which are super cheap. It was like 9$ for 12 of them or something like that. I replace them monthly. Those come in their own little sealed packages when you order those.The only design flaw I have with this one is when I go to clean it the inner lip itself likes to trap water so it takes several times of rinsing and turning it upside down to make sure I’ve gotten all of the soap suds out. I clean it every time I refill the jug as my dogs like to get grass bits in the back of the bowl somehow.The plastic itself for the bowl is super hard and sturdy. The plastic on the lid is hard as well. I haven’t had any issues with the jug portion breaking or cracking, so I’d say it is a good quality plastic as well. Assembled it all sits very sturdily, my pups haven’t knocked it over with normal use.

Our 150 pound Cane Corso mastiff was going through two bowls of water per day. I had a bad experience with these types of water feeders in the past due to them being too heavy. This is so easy to assemble and does not spell out when you put it together. This last for a good five days with our Cane Corso and small Yorkie. Still looks brand new ! Great quality !

Note: The lone product picture on this page (as of 4/28/2015) doesn’t match the packaging on the Replendish I received. The paperboard on mine contains helpful information I would’ve liked to know prior to purchase, so I’ve added several pictures to this review to help other shoppers.Here are answers to two common questions I noticed in the product page Q&A, and wondered myself before receiving the Replendish: yes, the unit is BPA-free; and, yes, it comes with one filter.____________________________________First impressions:We have three cats, though I purchased the Petmate Replendish 1/2 Gallon Waterer specifically for two of them: they happen to be water connoisseurs. Their preference is drinking from faucets, and no unattended glass of water has been safe in this house for the eight years that we’ve had them (sisters from the same litter).After rinsing the pieces of the unit this morning and filling it from the connoisseurs’ favorite faucet (judging by their preference, we ought to bottle the water from our guest bathroom’s faucet and sell it at Acqua Panna prices), they immediately took to the Replendish without the scrutiny with which they typically regard new things. Our third cat, however, who daily goes into what we affectionately refer to as “stealth mode,” crouching low and nervously gliding across the floor each time she notices anything is out of place in a room, regards it with her typical level of suspicion–but after about an hour, she drank from it several times.The Pieces:Altogether, the Replendish unit consists of five pieces: the base, the clear reservoir, a black cap that acts as filter housing at the mouth of the reservoir, a filter, and a plastic strap that secures the filter inside of the cap. The plastic strap is a bit of a pain to snap into place over the filter; it took me three attempts, even though I have small hands and wear my nails short. The mouth of the reservoir is threaded, so that the filter housing cap screws on to it. Then, the entire assembly of the reservoir twists about a quarter turn into the base, locking it in place.Observations:First, I’m very pleased that, with the filter in place, the water flows slowly from the reservoir into the bowl; the result is that it isn’t noisy. We bought Drinkwell Platinum Fountains at two different points over the years, and the cats never got used to the loud (and sudden) gurgling and bubbling that occurred each time the equilibrium shifted enough for the reservoir to dispense water. When I first put the Replendish down, our connoisseurs began drinking without any regard for the fact the reservoir was actively dispensing and quietly gurgling.Next, one reviewer had mentioned the 1/2 gallon size didn’t work for them, as the opening of the bowl was too small and too near the reservoir, so that their cat didn’t like it due to its ears and whiskers being crowded. I nearly purchased the 1 gallon model as a result of that review, because our cats won’t eat out of small bowls that crowd their whiskers. However, being a starving college student, I opted for the less expensive 1/2 gallon, and the cats don’t mind it. The only trouble with this size is that only one cat can drink at a time.Another reviewer indicated no instructions came with the unit, and so it took trial and error to figure out that the filter needs to be removed from its plastic wrap, and secured by a plastic strap included with the unit. As I noted above, the paperboard that came with my unit is different than the product picture, so perhaps it didn’t previously come with instructions, already assembled, and clearly labeled. However, mine arrived with instructions; the pieces were already assembled, so that by disassembling them it was impossible not to see how to reassemble them after removing the plastic from the filter and rinsing the pieces. Further, the filter housing and strap are clearly labeled as to their function. Bottom line: assembly and disassembly are simple and fool-proof.Many reviewers (and those that provide answers within the product Q&A section) seem to omit the filter. I don’t know how useful the filter is for actual filtration, since, unlike in a powered fountain, the water from the bowl–which tends to accumulate fur and crumbs of food–isn’t being continuously circulated through the filter. However, I will continue to purchase filters for the simple reason that using one causes the water to dispense slowly and quietly from the reservoir.Overall, our cats are happy with the Replendish thus far, so I’m happy with it, too. Though the opening of the reservoir (see pictures) is small enough that a bottle cleaner is required, the base doesn’t have any awkward or tight spots to clean, like Drinkwell Platinums, which are full of nooks and crannies.I’ll revisit this review in one month with an update as to whether the cats and I continue to love it. In the meantime, feel free to post comments on this review should you have questions!_________________________________5/29/15 Update: I still consider this a five-star product for what it is: a waterer. The cats still like it, and drink more from it than they would a bowl of water replenished as frequently. However, this is not a be-all and end-all product for me, because it requires more cleaning than a bowl (since the Replendish has more parts) or a fountain (since the Replendish doesn’t circulate). I recommend this product to anyone who prefers a waterer, but will continue my search for fountains, as I do prefer something that circulates and filters the water supply.

The media could not be loaded. I have a couple of very large dogs that are H2O aggressive. You would think I owned a bunch of cows, that’s how much water these guys drink. By the time they pass on, they will probably have consumed enough water to fill at least half of the Atlantic Ocean. Anyways, this thing has been life changing, really. I only have to refill this about 3 times a week instead of wasting so much time refilling regular water bowls 20 times a day. Yes, I’ve taken them to the vet. No, there’s nothing wrong with them…they are just greedy. This thing may have made them more greedy since there is now more water avaliable at all hours of the day, but overall it’s been worth it. Recommend.

I normally don’t do reviews but I am writing with the hope it may help someone. There are lots of reviews saying the waterer doesn’t fill correctly and people have come home to find no water in the bowl. If you look at the black cap you will notice a small hole, this allows air to flow in while water flows out. The problem is the manufacturer missed the crucial step of adding the same hole to the clear jug. To remedy this place the cap on the clear jug, get a drill bit of the same size and drill through the clear jug so the black cap and the clear jug both have the same air hole. After this you will never come home to a dry dish and the water level will be a lot higher. Hope this helps.
