Product Description
The Drinkwell® Big-Dog Fountain was designed by a veterinarian specifically for large dogs. The Drinkwell® Big-Dog holds well over two gallons of water, making it the largest capacity pet fountain on the market (288 oz.)! Ideal for large dogs and multiple-pet homes, the Big Dog uses the same innovative watering system as the Original Pet Fountain, featuring the patented free-falling stream of water that consumers have come to rely on for cats and small dogs for the past decade. A large charcoal filter removes bad tastes and odors leaving your pet with fresh-tasting, filtered water. The Drinkwell® Big-Dog is the best and most convenient way to provide man's best friend with fresh filtered water for days at a time.

 LOVE IT! August 30, 2010
K. Hayworth (Chicago, IL)
After reading reviews about noise, I ordered anyway. The waterfall noise doesn't bother me that much. I have a Drinkwell 360 and I have to tell you, the big dog bowl is a LOT quiter than the 360. After a few days and only one water add, I'm impressed! I was filling the 360 2-3 times a day. My Doberman defnately prefers the big dog bowl as well as my 3lb. Pom. My other dog and the Cats are not as impressed and go back to the 360.
I agree about the water resvior, they could make it better, but still 5 stars IMO
 Could be good for one dog August 24, 2010

I purchased this item because I wanted fresh water for my dogs. I have 5 dogs and during the day they stay outside in the patio. That's where I placed the water fountain. Thank God I have an electracal outlet outside and was able to connect it. Overall, it's a good little fountain if you only have one dog. In my case, only one one of my 5 dogs dared drink from it and the rest refused. I figured it's due to the noice it makes and because they are used to their old water container.
I would recommend it if you have a new pup that will get used to drinking water from it, or if you only have one dog.
Very happy with my Pet fountain!! August 20, 2010

I have my dogs' fountain set up outdoors. I clean the bowl once a week and make regular filter changes. My boys drink a lot during the hot summer so I add water daily but sure beats the heck out of the conventional water bowl.
not worth the price August 16, 2010

The filters don't keep the water clean...If the drinkwell was in the house I would get rid of it because of the noise..It's in a kennel in my garage so I don't hear it...
Great for some dogs, but not 'Marley' type dogs August 16, 2010

I would have recommended this fountain whole-heartedly when we first purchased it. Our 84 lb shepherd/malamute mix prefers running water, and he loved this fountain. All was wonderful until we introduced a GSD puppy into our home. Around the time she was 3 months old, she started taking the cover off of the filter housing and chewing it up and then taking out the filters and chewing them apart. Even replacing the cover and filters, it still happened. One day I noticed the spout where the water comes out was getting chewed up. Then, she decided she liked to 'play' in the water while we were at work. She started splashing the water out of the bowl with her paws. Along with trying to train her not to, we purchased the tray to go underneath to catch the water. Then one day she splashed all of the water out onto the floor, emptying the reservoir's water onto my kitchen floor. When I arrived home, the fountain was unplugged, drained completely empty, on the opposite side of the kitchen from where it started, and the bottle reservoir was nowhere to be found. I finally located it outside, under the bushes, chewed up (they'd carried it out through the doggy door). I reassembled it, and it was still functional, but the water on the floor had seeped under the cabinets into the dining area and ruined my laminate wood flooring. This could have happened with any refilling water bowl, and I don't blame the manufacturer, but it meant the end of this fountain for my household. I couldn't afford any more damage to my home, and to risk the dogs going without water all day because of her 'playing'. We researched for a week and ended up buying a Dog It Fresh and Clear Large Dog Fountain - Dog It 73651 water fountain. The filters are completely hidden and internal, the water 'hole' is high off of the ground and difficult to reach with playful paws, and it seems like it would be nearly impossible for the dogs to disassemble it the way they did the big dog fountain. So far this has been a solution for our 'problem' pup.
I'm still giving this fountain a good rating. It is easy to clean, relatively quiet and relaxing sounding, and my dogs loved it- had we not gotten the second dog and gone through the puppy phase with this fountain, I'm sure it would have lasted a very long time. The first dog never chewed on it or splashed. And even when we started having to replace parts on it because of the chewing, the parts were readily available and reasonably priced (some on Amazon, some on the manufacturers website).
If you have well behaved dogs, I think this fountain is great. But if you have destructo-playful Marley pups, it can be an expensive item to end up in your garage.
