Amazon Basics Gravity Pet Water Dispenser for Cat and Dog, Easy to Clean, 1 Gallon Capacity, Small, Gray

We’ve been using this water dispenser for years and it’s been great, especially for our cats (and dogs too). We keep it in our bedroom so they have access to some water when we’re gone, but not a huge bowl that gets spilled everywhere. It’s simple, reliable, and easy to refill. Nothing fancy, but it does exactly what we need it to do.

Very simple but effective and useful product. Holds a large amount of water. Easy to clean and refill. Esthetically neutral. My cat loves it because she drinks a lot of water and its always full and fresh. Easy on me because i only refill every couple of weeks but I dismantle to clean out the bowl a couple times a week. Very sturdy as well. I definitely recommend!

Used it barely a month n it already broke! There’s a spring to the bottle assembly that allows the water to flow w/gravity. On the third time to refill the water, upon removing the bottle from the tray, the spring, actually the whole mechanism!, flew apart! $20??? Not worth it!!

Easy setup , doesn’t slide, easy to clean , holds plenty of water for my 3 medium sized dogs for about 2-3 days depending on weather . No small parts and seems safe for dogs and cats

This is my second Amazon Basics Gravity Pet Waterer. The first one (purchased in 2020) was wonderful, the dish and bottle connector were molded from a single piece of plastic (which matches the photos shown for this item). The bottle snapped on snugly and was easy to get off when empty, and you didn’t have to rotate it a certain direction to align it with the base. It worked perfectly and did not leak. The only reason I replaced it is because in taking it to my son’s house so he could dog sit for us, someone tripped and fell on top of it, cracking the base of the water dish. I am VERY unhappy with this one. It DOES NOT match the photos shown for the item. (See my photos attached to this review.) Even though it has the same Item number and ASIN, it is NOT the same. They changed the design of the dish such that the bottle connector is a separate piece attached to the dish via four screws. There doesn’t appear to be any extra seal between the dish and connector, so if you happen to tilt the dish back a little – as often happens when moving it – water pours out the back! It also traps water between the top of the dish and the bottom of the connector where mildew can grow, and it is very difficult to clean. Next, instead of an easy snap-on design, the bottle now has nubs on it that you have to align with notches in the top of the bottle connector and then twist COUNTER-clockwise to “secure” it. I put that in quotes because it is not nearly as secure as the old model that snapped on. If you think you have it aligned and you don’t (because of course you can’t SEE the stupid nubs when you’re holding the bottle upside down over the dish!), it’s possible to have the bottle fall off the stand. And whoever designed this never heard of “lefty loosy/righty tighty.” Who doesn’t know this? What other connector do you twist LEFT to secure it? Finally, the old bottle cap screwed onto the bottle and fit snugly without having to be too tight. This bottle cap has a silicone o-ring that is so loose it falls out every time you unscrew the cap (sometimes ending up INSIDE the bottle), and often gets misaligned when you screw the cap on, which causes the bottle to leak when you turn it upside down to set on the base. We have also had to put the whole waterer in a shoe tray because it just leaks. I suspect this is because the top of the bottle cap is above the level where the base meets the dish, so if the seal isn’t good the water level is too high, and again, water leaks over the side. The whole thing is such a poor design I’m just going to return it. If there is ANY way to get another of the original design, I want to do that. This one is horrible! The manual seems to indicate this is a recent redesign (V3-8/21). AMAZON, are you listening? Please give us the old design back! Update: edited to fix spelling errors.

I bought this for my feral cat family of 12 cats that lives on out 2 acres of land. I is a very good choice. The water stays fresh and not tour green after awhile like the other open bottom ones

I was a bit aprehensive at first because I didn't know how easy it would be to clean. There's always something floating in the bowl that was either dirt or dog food at one point and those things tend to make the water yucky. Yes dogs sniff each others butts and worse which is more the reason they should have a clean source of water. I also want the best for them because they bring me happiness and love during times when I need it the most so things like having a clean water bowl seem to be the least I can do for them. The bowl itself feels good in the hand. Not too heavy, not too light. It also comes equipped with some very functional non-skid pads on the bottom to prevent the bowl from sloshing about while in use. The resevoir can hold one gallon and is made from the same material the five gallon jugs use. The cap has a spring loaded stopper that dispenses water when it's depressed which only happens once it's fastened to the bowl. Once it's released it stops the water from flowing out even when upside down. The jug fits snugly and has two stubs on each side that line up with an opening on the ring so when it's mounted, the jug slides gently into place and locks with a small twist. The channel between the bowl and where the water flows from is narrow to keep the water from pouring into the bowl and making a mess. I can carry the whole thing, with water, from the hallway to the kitchen sink, and not spill a drop. This thing is so easy to clean, it's child's play. The fountains on the other hand, it could take me a good thirty minutes to clean a fountain and I'd still find slimy spots. They're way too much maintenance for what they're designed to do and this takes me less than five.The bowl is large enough for both dogs to drink from and they drink more water now. I've purchased a lot of pet stuff over the years and a lot of it has been a waste of money because it was either too cheaply made or didn't function the way it should've. I'm happy to say that this is not one of those purchases. In fact, I've replaced all my water bowls with these. Wish I would've known about these sooner.

Works like a charm. Well constructed.
