PetCo has them for about 17-20$ (the gallon size) ... try them first .... this one on eBay is way overpriced, when you add in the S&H. I paid less and I got white but sent my friend a pink one and she loves it .... Have fun!!

| I have one of the filter ones. I bought the small size when I had only my cat. The small one runs out of water all the time now that I have Aurora as well. My ex boyfriend tells me, its time to refill the water....the little sponges drank it all again. My mom's yorkies drank more water while they were visiting as well. I had one that had a bottle that attached to the dish before but we like the filter one much better, since both tried to cover their food and water dishes.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | I had one of the plastic ones that Petco sells. I originally liked it because I didn't have to worry about running out of water, but I found the water in the dish got dirty every day and had to be cleaned anyway. And then I found out that plastic doesn't clean as easily. I gave up on it.

| the gallon size is approx $21.95 [URL="[COLOR="Blue"]http://www.partipoodlepetsupplies.com/leauwa.html"] here are some good choices ... I prefer the gallon size. Yes, the bowl part (not the gallon filler uppper) needs to be cleaned daily (or every other day at the least) to prevent cruddy build up ... but even in the heat, there is always enough water for both dogs for 2 or more days ... so if you do forget, there is no reason to worry. And they have this new microban for antimicrobial protection against bacteria, mold, and mildew http://javascript%3cb%3e%3c/b%3E:CaricaFoto%28%27http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/partipoodleshopping_1966_85567654%27,%27LeBistro%2 0Automatic%20Waterers%27,%27http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/partipoodleshopping_1966_85581223%27,%27625%27,%27 668%27%29"]http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c..._1961_71636958 http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c...hopping_1966_0 http://us.st1.yimg.com/store1.yimg.c.../trans_1x1.gif LeBistro Automatic Waterers Fresh Water is Always Available with Le Bistro Automatic Waterers Le Bistro Automatic Waterers are specially designed to provide a steady flow of water for up to seven days. The base is constructed of durable polyethylene, making it crack and chew-resistant. Because the reservoir is transparent, you'll know at a glance when it's time to refill.

| Thank you all so much. I love that Drinkwell fountain. That is so cool but I can't really afford one like that and I can just imagine her playing in it. LOL I will show it to hubby anyway just to see what he says. Monday The one you recommend looks like the one I saw. I didn't look at it close but I will check it out better before buying it. I don't mind cleaning the bowl once a day. I find myself refilling her bowl 2 or 3 times a day and I feel terrible when I see her bowl empty. I have went pink crazy so she will probably be getting pink. Thanks for your help.

| I keep reading where most of the dogs drink enough water that the water bowl is often empty. Since my two don't even drink half a small metal bowl of water a day, it's because they are on home cooked diet. Maybe there is a big difference with moisture?? |
