Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The WaterDog automatic outdoor pet drinking fountain lets your dog help itself to fresh water, so you don't have to worry about stagnant or empty water bowls. WaterDog senses your dog's approach, and automatically dispenses a cool, clean stream of fresh drinking water. Smart sonar sensing technology triggers the WaterDog to turn the water on when your pet comes within 3 feet (1 meter), and turns it off when your pet leaves. You'll never have to worry about what your dog's been drinking again.

Constructed of durable, high-quality UV resistant materials, the WaterDog has been designed to provide many years of reliable service. The WaterDog's hose has a metal covering to protect it from chewing and to reflect heat to help keep the water cool, even on bright sunny days.

Key Features and Specifications

• Operates automatically, providing fresh water when your pet approaches.
• Sonar proximity sensor automatically turns the water on when your dog is near, and turns it off again when it leaves.
• Senses your dog's presence within a 40-degree angle in front of the unit, and up to 3 feet (1 meter).
• Accommodates your dog day and night for up to one year on 4 C-cell batteries.
• Connects quickly and easily to any outdoor faucet.
• Fully adjustable height.
• Includes a flow-through connector to accommodate your garden hose as well
• Assembly required; see an image of all parts.

How It Works

The WaterDog is an automatic drinking fountain that is designed to give your pet direct access to fresh clean water, at any time. A sonar-based proximity sensor triggers the WaterDog to turn the water on when your pet comes within three feet (one meter), and turns it off when your pet leaves.

Dogs quickly learn that they can always get a drink from the WaterDog. This greatly reduces the risk of your dog becoming dehydrated on a hot day, or developing disease from a contaminated water bowl.

The WaterDog attaches easily, without tools, to any outdoor faucet, and the height is fully adjustable to suit any sized dog. With the "Y" connector (included), you can connect a garden hose alongside the WaterDog, so you never need to remove the device to water your garden.

1.0 out of 5 stars this device does not last, June 19, 2007

This unit works great for 2-3 months, but then it fails.
I have had very frustrating experience with this device for I bought 5 units so far since it came out on market.
Everytime, the unit stopped functioning(or water kept on coming out without anything present). Although it broke everytime, I kept on buying a new one because my dogs love this. But now, I give up. Really, this unit works fot the first 2-3 months, and that's it.

We loved our waterdog, and so did our dogs - it didn't take long at all for them to figure out how to trigger the unit to dispense water, and it was nice cold water straight from the faucet. Our only mistake was leaving it on the faucet in the winter. It got too cold, cracked one of the pieces and started leaking. However their customer service was great, and they sent us a replacement part at no charge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Waterdog is pretty good, but....., July 22, 2007

I like the water dog, but I know not to use it as the only source of my dogs water. Out of the blue , twice it has not worked. My dog is pushing into it and forcing it face down when it is not working, so then if it starts working, the water is in a odd position, I have only had it happen twice, but that is twice in a 3 week period, but for the most part it is great, it did not cure me having to provide a fresh bowl of water each day.

It only took 1 use for my dog to learn how to use it, so that was nice.
