Highlighted Reviews
"The cats were able to use it for around a week which was great before I had to fill it again"
"The tank on this is too big to handle. I get splashed every time i refill it. The cap is too thin. The plastic tank is also too thin for how much water it holds. Bought as a replacement for a medium sized jug/bowl that had started leaking. Will need to go down a size. Idk who would be able to handle..."
