Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Anyone use these for their dogs and if so do you have recommendations? 2 of my boys love running water from the hose or faucet. Not so concerned with our water quality (filtration) as we have a very high rated municipal water source but want to up their consumption for overall health. Thoughts?

I have a Drinkwell Big Dog Pet Fountain for Navi and Drogo and they love it! You hear running water all the time so if that noise bothers you I wouldn't recommend it. My only complaint is that it can be a pain to clean and you need to do it often to avoid nasty buildup on the inside, so 1-2 times a week. They do sell models that have stainless steel parts; those might be easier to keep clean.

I have the Drinkwell Big Dog too and its awesome - although it can definitely be a pain to clean. Its dishwasher safe, so it wouldn't be bad to clean that way. But I don't have a dishwasher,so...

According to their site, everything is dishwasher safe except for the big reservoir that goes on the back.

If you're thinking of getting one, I'd also get some filters. They're like $6-7on amazon for a pack of 3 filters. I thought it was kinda dumb and didn't use filters for the first year that we had ours, but then I decided to try it and the fountain stays so much cleaner! I don't have to take it apart and scrub it nearly as often with the filters Very Happy

I don't even wanna know how quickly that thing gets dirty without a filter. I'm still cleaning it at least once or twice a week with a filter in there!

The little one I had for the cat didn't seem to get icky and I never used the filter. The big one is great...except that the pups decided to eat the lid. So now Stormy drinks out of the top while Sollie drinks from the bottom. Rolling Eyes
