I just wanted to update this thread. We received our new water bowl - and the crew just loves it! Some like to drink from the fountains and some like to drink from the bowl.

It is a very BIG bowl (holds 1 gallon of water). Also, the cord is not an issue. It is not exposed, and the dogs have no access to it. I give it

I was really interested in this but the cord was a big concern for me. How did you run the cord to the outlet so that they have no access to it? If I can figure out a safe set up for my gang, I'd like to try one of these.

Well, the cord is hidden under the black plastic piece on the bowl. Then it is run under a placemat (that the bowl is sitting on) and the outlet itself is right next to it, under a fishtank (where they cannot get to it) - so it is completely safe. I was a little concerned about leaving the cord out in the open, even though I don't think they will care about it - I didn't want to take any chances.

Ok, I can picture it now. I have the placemat....now I need to think on what I could put in front of the outlet. Thanks!

I'm glad to hear you and the yorkies like it. I just love the ease of it all so much, it's nothing like the petmate fountains I have. And I love that several of them can drink from it at the same time.
There really isn't much cord to hide once you have a mat as you can hide most of it under it. My fountain is right beside the outlet as well so I only had to hide just a couple inches of cord that leads up to the outlet.
