Hi....
I just converted to water bottles for my furkids..Their beards were always wet and icky looking.. They would also play in the water dish at times.. and it would be all over.. aside from them then, having no water
until I saw their mess.. They took to the bottles right away.. I think they drink more now,.., (which can be good and bad..lol.. because I noticed they all pee more..) because their water always tastes fresh.. I wash the bottle and stainless steel spout out daily.. and refill with fresh water.
We mounted ours on our kitchen wall....I bought a 16 oz oasis bottle and a 16 ounce bottle guard.. and my husband screwed it (The bottle guard) to our kitchen wall..I also have a water bottle on the inside and outside of our youngest pups crate.. so they have 3 bottles to drink from daily....I did come upon this site.. . I have come across the lixit bottles that were used for this stand in petco..so.. if someone is creative. I bet something like this stand could be made....
