Product Description
There are many Stainless Steel bowls on the market, but none like the Snap'y Fit Bowls. The Snap'y Fit patented system holds the bowl firmly in place and yet, allows easy removal. Pet parents have been frustrated for years with conventional water bowls because pets can dislodge the bowls and spill the food and water. The Snap'y Fit patented system solves this problem. The bowls are available in 10 fl. ounce, 20 fl. ounce, 4 fl. cup & 8 fl. cup (1 and 2 qt.) sizes.
I got two of these bowls on sale for a drastically reduced price. They really seemed like a great idea, but their first use proved otherwise. My 12 week old puppy quickly managed to dislodge the bowls from the holders. I didn't really care about the mess, but I did get concerned when she managed to get one of the extension arms of the holders lodged in her mouth while she tried to chew on it. Besides that, the prongs sticking out represent a poking threat to her eyes or the rest of her body. I ended up throwing out the holders and keeping the stainless steel bowls. I Only paid about $5/bowl setup, so the stainless bowls were still a reasonable buy.
This is perfect for when you have to crate your dogs for a few hours when you leave the house. It gives our 6 month old puppy and 4 year old dog just enough water until we get home.
It was difficult to detach the bowl the first time, but after that it's been easy. Also, it's very easy to attach to the kennel and once on, it is very secure.
I do recommend filling it while the bowl is already in place to avoid spills.
I plan on getting a larger one for our puppy when she is bigger (she's going to be between 60-80 lbs full grown) but this size is perfect for our adult dog who is 50 lbs.
Once a very kind lady informed me that Avon's Skin so Soft would remove the inside sticker, this bowl became a hit. It rocks! I don't even have any trouble filling it and snapping it in the kennel as is. Although, I do agree that filling it after you attach it is smarter.
My dogs get really snarky if this bowl doesn't stay filled at all time. I've gotten racks for their bowls but they're never quite the right height from the ground. Apparently this one is because they line up when it's empty even though there's a perfectly good bowl sitting not two feet away that's full of clean, sparkly water.
