5.0 out of 5 stars
Not just a travel bowl...,
By
This review is from: Lixit Waterboy Travel Water Bowl (Misc.)
I bought the Waterboy when I needed to make a long-distance drive with my two dogs. I had tried several other products before this one so I was a definite skeptic. (Plus, the darn thing looks unusual if not somewhat silly.)
The Waterboy has far outperformed my expectations and has proven to be more than worth the price. It just doesn't splash and my car travels some rough roads. Had it stayed in my car the whole time, it would still be worth it. But my dogs took to it so well that I made it the permanent waterbowl in my home. This was largely out of necessity, mind you; my Aussie loves to paw at open water bowls which creates a watery mess. With the Waterboy, this problem is eliminated. So yes, it is portable but I'm getting a second one to have permanently at home and in the car. This is probably my most prized pet product of all time. One caveat: it's probably not terrific for very large dogs. The water well is somewhat small. But, since it's only the tongue that needs to get down there, it probably is okay. I just wish there was one with a slightly larger opening for bigger dogs.

Great product but needs better quality control--check for loose O-ring,
By JK (Dairyland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lixit Waterboy Travel Water Bowl (Misc.)
I now own 3 Lixit Waterboys. The first two work as advertised, almost like magic. No splashes, no spills, even in a joltin' Jeep Wrangler. I use the second one upstairs as a "carpet-friendly" water bowl so that my aging mutt doesn't have to navigate the stairs just to have a drink.
Today I bought a third one for the RV. The third one doesn't work at all. It leaks, splashes, and spills like crazy. It's just as bad a standard dog bowl. As near as I can tell, the problem is that the O-ring between the "jug" and the "cup" is loose / too large and isn't providing the seal needed for the no-splash mojo. I'll be returning it tomorrow. The two that work both have a snug O-ring, so I now know to look for that when buying a Waterboy. I'm surprised that Lixit doesn't have better quality control for this clever product, given the well-deserved positive reputation of the Lixit faucet dog waterer. Especially considering that it's $10 - $15 for a plastic jug, cup, and O-ring. It is far too easy to cross-thread the cup on the jug, which could also lead to the Waterboy not working correctly; I have always been careful to avoid cross-threading the cup, but it requires full attention to avoid it.

dry floors,
This review is from: Lixit Waterboy Travel Water Bowl (Misc.)
We love the Water Boy water dish.No longer constantly mopping up after our dog drinks. We have given one to our daughter for her dog and she loves it.We are buying more for other family dogs and want a spare for us when the summer comes,heard you can fill half way and freeze so it's ready for a hot day or just a hike through the park.
