Water Rover Bowl and Bottle

I actively prefer this bowl for my flat-faced breeds, but fair warning, the design definitely has some issues.-It can be a bit tricky to screw on the top, but you must get it right, otherwise it is going to leak all over your car.-The bowl plug can be hard to open and close, especially when you're trying to open it one handed...because you have a dog on a leash in the other hand.-About that plug...don't expect it to stay attached to the rest of the bowl very long! The stress of opening and closing quickly wears out the thin plastic which attaches the plug to the rest of the lid. I melted it back on once, which worked for a month or so, but then it snapped off again, and it disappeared, rendering the Water Rover absolutely useless.-Mold. Because this bowl allows backwash into the bottle, and then you seal it up tight, if you accidentally leave it in the car for a day or two, it gets gross smelling fast. Gotta wash it out each time as soon as we get home.I do like that the 4 inch size fits in cup holders, that my dog can get a drink easily, and that if the water isn't dirty, we can make it last longer, and that the bottle opening is wide enough to put ice cubes in to keep it colder longer.

SHAME-I am so disappointed that all four 26 ounce Water Rover bottles leak (two in the 4" and two in the 5 1/4" sizes), and the tops don't go on properly. When we contacted the business owner by email to see if there may have been a problem in manufacturing or design on the larger bottles, and if he would replace them, he actually took the time to call my wife and told her he wouldn't do anything, and that I needed to deal with Amazon. With a one year warranty, one would think he'd do the right thing, BUYER BEWARE his warranty only applies if you buy it from him on his website. I really liked the concept of the bottle even though I think they are overpriced, and the smaller version Water Rover bottle that I purchased at the local pet store worked great. I am disappointed that the business owner would not stand by his product. It would have cost him next to nothing to replace them and keep a happy returning customer.

It's a great idea and a great design, but these things are poorly manufactured. I think the seller must know this. They leak through the threads that the lid affixes to. We have owned 3 and all three have leaked in the same way. There's nothing out there we could find that we liked as much as this crapily built bottle, so we continue to use them. In all fairness, I have not reached out to the seller for a replacement, but I think zero for 3 merits this score.

not only did i end up paying more for this than in stores because i wanted red to match the rest of my dog stuff. i received it and was happy to use it, filled it up and put in my backpack. well several issues. the threads didn't match up to the top so the lid didn't go on straight, that also caused it to leak. and then the little pop cap in the bowl sealed but would pop out really easily.wanted to return it but left it out on my be when i went to work and my dog chewed it. so now I'm stuck with a chewed up water bottle that doesn't seal and i can't replace.which sucks because i have heard great things about water rover but i am not impressed and won't be buying another.

I first purchased these at a design show in a convention center. While using it, EVERYONE that saw it, wanted one! Now that they are mass produced and available here, I have purchased MANY more!I always keep one in my car. In Southern California, it is warm most of the year. So, even a quick trip to the vet can leave the dogs panting. I NEVER use water that has been sitting in the car for days/weeks, but it's very simple to grab a bottle of cold water from the fridge on the way out the door, and pour it into the unit when you're ready to let the dogs drink. Easy and safe!The ONLY issue I've had is the lack of a seal from the plunger/stopper after I leave the unit in the hot car for days/weeks. I assume the lack of a good seal is based on the 120 degree+ heat in the closed up car and the plastic gets just slightly warped. However, the heat does NOT destroy the rest of the unit and I just leave it in a cup holder so it won't spill if the plunger/stopper fails.Since I never KNOW when I may need it, I'm ok with a slight flaw in the unit's sealing after I leave it in a hot car for extended periods of time. Just knowing it is there in case I see a stray or forget to pack it with the dogs, is worth the trade off. If you have access to any clean water, you have a way to get that water into your dog(s)!I highly recommend this product for all dog lovers and it's probably fine for any pet that drinks from a water bowl...

My first one lasted a few years until I left it in the car with water in it; the inside turned green, and I didn't have anything I could reach inside to clean it with. Ordered a second from this seller, and it arrived quickly, but the water plug wouldn't stay secured, and would slip out, smacking (lightly) my dog in the snout. Wrote to seller and quickly sent a replacement. Same problem with the replacement (perhaps it is because the original was a different color and more sturdy?). Hoping to get yet another replacement, this time in red, as I know that one did not have this problem. Other than that, perfectly designed product, and I love it!

The bottle is about the size of a water bottle. It fits on a waistband or belt loop nicely. The best part of the bottle is that when you pour the water into the cup and there is residual water left after your pup drinks, all you do is tip the bottle upright and the water flows back into the bottle. No spills. Then you put the stopper in and continue with your walk/hike.One negative is it is quite rigid but it does a good job to hydrate our fur babies.

Absolutely LOVED this bottle....until the top broke off.Have had this happen again and again. Multiple times I've made the purchase.When I wrote Amazon about it, they suggested I go out and find a new top and they would refund me what that cost. Didn't sound like an option to me since none exist.

It is quite unwieldy and as it has to be attached to a belt it can be uncomfortable in summer, and, because the plastic is very thick, the lid/drinking cup can also stick into your side or back as you walk.

I love this product. No wasted water while walking as the water goes back into the bottle. Also use it for travelling in the car or in a hotel instead of a water bowl. Bottle fits in most car cup holders. Easy to clean and refill.

I purchased this because I had seen somebody using one of these in the dog park. Such a clever way to get my pooch to drink her water my only complaint (and this is my fault because I ordered the wrong size) is that the ball was minuscule.

Seen this advertised in US and am delighted to get one Can't wait to try out next weekend on a long walk

Best travelling dog bowl around. Can't understand why they are not available in the UK.
