4 Stars made in italy, NOT china!!
nice design, the top rim(which is curved down to help prevent spills) separates for cleaning and the cup feels well built. hook/clips on the back make attaching and removing from the cage quick and simple.
5 Stars Can’t wait to use it!
We’re a military family and so I ordered these for our next move. We have 2 cats and plan on upgrading them from their small individual crates to a large dog crate for comfort for our next move and was on the look out for food and water dishes that wouldn’t spill during the drive.
These are amazing! They’re larger than I expected them to be which is going to be perfect since we have 2 cats. They’re made of a thick plastic so I know they’re going to be exceptionally durable for our usage. I feel that the clips would make more sense to be in the middle of the back rather than the top (for better balance) but the dishes will be close to the bottom of the crate anyway. I LOVE that the top lip (to prevent spills) pops on/off for easy cleaning! The lip could go down into the bowl a little more but for smaller kibble, I don’t think it’s going to be a big issue.
I never thought I’d be so excited about a food dish before but I know this will make the ride more tolerable for our kitties with food and water at their convenience the ENTIRE trip and not just on stops/overnight.
3 Stars Not “no spill” at all
A little larger than I expected. It holds three cups if you fill it all the way to the brim, but effectively holds only 1.5 cups as I will explain:
The clips that attach the cup to the cage are very close to the top edge, with no way to attach the bottom. The clips are horizontal, so they act as a pivot. This means it can be flipped upward a couple of inches (by a bunny-rabbit’s nose for example) and a significant portion of whatever is in it will be catapulted out of the cup, through the bars, and all over about six feet of floor. The amount of food launched depends on the strength of the flip.
My rabbit loved this game when he discovered it. He was apparently going for distance, trying to beat his personal best. Which is laudable. Self-improvement is so important. I, however, did not love cleaning up the mess. So, I figured out to minimize the spills (or launches) I can only fill the cup half way.
The cup does have a lip around the top, to keep food or liquids from slopping over the edge while your animal is eating or drinking. If you have a polite animal, it might work better for you.
Note to manufacturers: I will purchase another one of these, only if you eliminate the pivoting action. The no-spill lip is a good idea but the implementation is lacking. Also, stainless steel is much nicer than plastic, especially for rabbits.
4 Stars Good, but not for puppies who chew…
This does work – the design is neat, it holds a decent amount of water, and it attaches to the crate firmly. However, my 5 month old puppy chewed it up his first time alone in his crate. It would be great for older dogs past the “chew everything!” stage, though. If it were metal, I’d buy another based on the design and would’ve given it 5 stars…
4 Stars Spill proof!
Would buy again. This size is perfect for my miniature dachshund. He likes to borough and make a mess in his crate so this was much needed.
