Water Rover Regular 4-Inch Bowl, 15-Ounce Bottle, Pink

This water bottle is a good size, but we can fit it in smaller areas when we are traveling in the car. We know we always have clean water for him and a bowl for him to drink from. The plastic is sturdy and lasts. The weak spot on this bottle is where the stopper attaches to the bowl. After a while it begins to detach, but still works as a stopper, you just have to be careful not to lose it. This is our second bottle (we lost the first one), so I don't hesitate recommending this product.

We just bought our third Water Rover in 12 years, and only one of the two older bottles is actually not usable anymore. The oldest bottle, which still works, is red. We just replaced the blue bottle because our first blue one developed a crack in its bowl (after repeated drops over a six-year period! Kirby's dad carries it by hand; I carry the red bottle in a sling, so less accidental drops!) We take these everywhere - on walks, on vacation, in the car, on visits. These bottles are very sturdy and practical. The best thing is that there's no trick to getting the water quickly into the bowl, just pull the plastic snap-cap off and the water flows in. The bowl is large enough for even the longest snouts and widest mouths to drink from comfortably, and any leftover water easily and quickly flows back into the bottle. Snap the cap back on, and no water is wasted or lost. The key words for us are "quick" and "easy". We've tried other water bottles that required pressure to release the water (too slow! Kirby would lose interest and find someone else's water to drink!) or had bowls that were too small or narrow, with no way to return remaining water back to the bottle without a steady hand and a funnel. You can even fill this bottle without removing the bowl, just take the snap-cap off and fill it using the bowl. Super handy for filling when the bottle won't fit vertically under the faucet, such as at a shallow sink or a water fountain spout.Our only complaint is that the snap-off cap never seems to last as long as the rest of the product. It has broken off of all of ours (and several of our friends') bottles after anywhere from 2 to 5 years. BUT, I have found a great replacement, and it works better than the snap-cap, which can get difficult to use if you don't have the hand strength for grasping and pulling. It's the "Rabbit Wine Bottle Stopper" by Metrokane. They come in assorted colors in 2-packs, and they fit perfectly. I've seen them at supermarkets, kitchen gadget stores, and of course Amazon has them too. So there is no need to buy a whole new bottle if it's just your cap that's broken. I love being able to extend the life of these useful and practical water bottles. 13 years coming up for the red one and still my favorite! (Note that the Dark Blue 5-1/4" Bowl & 26oz Bottle is not the item pictured in this photo. This looks like the LIGHT Blue, 4" Bowl, 15oz. bottle, which is cylindrical. The 26oz bottle is cone-shaped, wider at the bottom than at the neck.)

I have 2 dogs at 14 lb & 23lb and this water bottle allows me to carry 1 instead of 2 bottles because of the larger size. I also like the larger opening that the water comes out of & will go back into. It’s much quicker than another 1 I have with a tiny water dispensing hole. That one takes forever to fill the bowl or put unused water back in. I will buy this one again should I ever need to.

We purchased our first Water Rover after seeing someone at a park locally with one. They're super easy to use and clean, and can be worn on a belt (not the loop, but on the belt itself) or pair of sweatpants. This was the most important reason we started buying Water Rover bottles, as we often don't have a belt to clip the bottle onto. Most bottles have a belt clip or no clip at all, which is just unfortunate.As far as use goes, they are very easy to use. The cap snug fits into the opening in the bowl, and you tilt it to let water flow into the bowl and back out. Cleaning is a breeze too.Durability is decent, however we've broken two by dropping them. There is apparently a laminating/joining process that takes place during production, and the resultant seam between the threaded lid and the bowl are not sufficiently strong. Just have to be careful in that regard not to drop them or hold them by the bowl when the bottle is full as they will break.Overall outside of the aforementioned issues, 9/10 for sure. I hope they don't stop selling entirely; we'll gladly pay for more in the future.PS: We have bought at least 10-12 over the past 5 or so years and really love Water Rover. We were sad they stopped selling them on their site (owner apparently passed away). A great product, grabbed a few more that will hopefully last. Thanks for a great product!

This is the second one of these that I purchased because I like the concept and using it. There is only one weak point that required a replacement. The strap that hold the friction fit cap will break after time from pulling on it. My solution was to grind off the plunger (a small plastic rectangle) that is uncomfortable for your thumb on the cap.I then just unscrew the top while holding the bottle upright, and use my thumb to pop out the cap which remains attached to the plastic (now unstressed strap), screw the top back on, tilt the water bottle and fill the little dish for your pet to drink. When done just tilt the bottle upright to let the left over drinking water go back into the bottle, align the plastic cap and push it back in with your thumb (as is the protocol for sealing the bottle), but this side of the cap is smooth and made for resealing and there is no need to unscrew the cap again to do this.Works for me.

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.

I truly like this water bottle over many others. Nothing is absolutely perfect, but this works best for my shepherd/lab cross. I like the round bowl idea with the pull tab opening that allows the water to return into the bottle. I always get asked where I got the bottle. Its too bad it was discontinued at the local pet stores, this is the only way to get them now.

The one I received was a dark blue, not the light blue in the photo. I don't like the colour. The seller was kind enough not to charge me. Therefore, I still give it 4 stars. I have a small size dog. She actually does not need a water bottle of this big size. I will get a smaller one of the right colour.The product itself is well made. The bottle has no bad smell like some cheap ones. It does not leak. The water bowl is very convenient.Because of its size, it is awkward to clip it on my belt while walking. I usually pack it in my bag. It will be good if there is a strap.

The tab that seals in the water was flimsy, unlike the tap on the red Water Rover that we have had for at least 3 years - too thin to last for very long. The plastic around the base of the 'cup' failed within 3 or 4 uses of the Rover, and split, so you cannot screw the 'cup' on the water holder. I'm not a 'happy camper.'
