Inside the stainless steel spout, a small ball acts as a valve: it holds the water back, and releases it when your pet drinks. The level in the bowl therefore stays constant all day, without the water sitting in the open air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750 ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 × 18 × 47 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e BPA-free food-grade plastic, bowl in stainless steel or ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e light beige, yellow-green, grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor:\u003c\/strong\u003e small and medium dogs, and cats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e none — gravity-fed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSetting the flow yourself\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel spout screws and unscrews, and it is what controls the flow:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnscrew slightly\u003c\/strong\u003e so the water runs more generously — handy for a large dog or a hurried drinker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTighten\u003c\/strong\u003e to slow the flow, which suits a puppy or a dog who gulps too fast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo open it up further still, you can \u003cstrong\u003eremove the spring\u003c\/strong\u003e inside the spout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry it over the sink.

The bowl is also dishwasher safe whenever you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOnce a week — the tank and the stem.\u003c\/strong\u003e In warm water, with a scrub. Not in the dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOnce a week — the ball in the spout.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the step nobody will tell you about, and it is the most useful. The small stainless steel ball that acts as a valve eventually collects limescale and impurities. It is the number one cause of a weakening flow — long before any breakdown. Unscrew the spout, take the ball out, rinse it, scrub the inside, put it back. Thirty seconds, and the fountain runs like it did on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTested through 25 years of breeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have been breeding \u003cstrong\u003eShih Tzus for 25 years\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you know the breed, you know the problem: the coat and whiskers around the muzzle fall into the water with every mouthful, they stay damp for hours, the skin gets irritated and the coat stains. And with their short muzzle, my dogs could not drink comfortably from a deep bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI tried many models before settling on this one. It is the one running in my home every day, with several dogs using it — and even my British Shorthair drinks from it, and cats are far fussier than dogs. I do not sell anything I do not use myself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need electricity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The fountain is gravity-fed, with no socket, no battery and no filter to replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it make noise?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, there is no pump. You only hear a soft gurgle when the tank tops the bowl back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy fountain runs less well than before — is it broken?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost never. In the vast majority of cases, the ball inside the stainless steel spout is clogged. Unscrew the spout, take the ball out, rinse it and scrub the inside: the flow comes back. If the problem persists after cleaning, write to me and we will look at it together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the flow be adjusted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Unscrew the spout slightly to let more water through, tighten it to slow things down. The spring inside can also be removed to open it up further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for a Shih Tzu, a Bichon, a Cavalier or a Yorkshire?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and these are the very breeds I chose it for. The wide, shallow bowl and the splash-free system are exactly what long-haired, short-muzzled dogs need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAnd for a cat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good too. Just set the stem to its lowest position. My own British Shorthair drinks from it every day — and cats are famously hard to please on this point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if my pet does not like it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have 14 days to withdraw from your purchase, and we give you 30 days to change your mind.
