Petmate Kennel Bowl, Large

This is a nice kennel bowl for water. It is easy to attach to the kennel. It stays in place and does not move around if bumped. The little cup on the outside is handy for refilling the water without having to open the kennel door. Just pour the water in the cup and the holes on the inside pour the water into the bowl.

Good quality and fits tight

Overall, this bowl is exactly what I was looking for. It stays well, but does rock a little when my puppy stands on it. I have tightened it as much as possible, and it still moves. Not enough to make it ineffective though. It is pretty tough to get off with how tight it needs to be. I have been wiping it out in between washes to stretch how often I need to wash it. Great for pups who need 24/7 access to water and spill their usual dishes in their crates. Also the durability is great. I have a 3 month old pit mix with a STRONG jaw. She has chewed on this quite a bit and there is only small teeth marks. She hasn't been able to break this or take off chunks. For reference, she has been destroying bark box super chewer rubber toys. (not the hard nylon ones)

Convenient and works as expected

It pains me what a good idea this product is and how poorly executed. I have two perfectly standard black collapsible crates, the absolute most basic and standard kind of all-wire crate imaginable. Despite the product’s claim that it fits most wire crates, it does not fit either of mine. It might fit the wire door of a travel crate? But if you have an all-wire crate, I think it’s most likely that it will not fit. There are two problem, which another reviewer also demonstrates well with photographs. First, the space between the spouts is too narrow to go around the crate’s wires. Second, the collar where the shaft with the screw threads meets the base of the bowl extends too far. Both prevent the fully assembled bowl from fitting on the crate. And these problems are avoidable, because they can be fixed by filing or grinding down the relevant parts. They could easily have made this thing work if they’d ever tested it on a run-of-the-mill collapsible crate. So why, with such a flawed design and a false claim to fit most crates, do I still give it 3 stars? Because the idea, for a bowl that can easily be filled from outside the crate, is such a good one, and it really does work well once you have modified the product. It’s easy to fill and stays securely in place. I haven’t seen anything else quite like it. I like the star feature enough that, after I damaged the spout of one trying to modify it, I bought a second to modify to replace it! My only complaint about the modified product is that it’s a little hard to unscrew and remove, but that does give me confidence it will stay in place well. So, if you want a bowl you can fill from outside and either have a crate with very fine wire or are willing to put in some time with a file/grinder, this one is for you. If you want something you can use out of box, skip it. And if you’re the manufacturer—PLEASE test this with standard collapsible crates and update your design!

Very easy to install.

It broke the first day of use. Not good for puppies crate training

Easy attachment to my airline-compliant dog crate and no leaking when water was placed in the bowl. Dish is also durable but light.

Es la primera vez que compro estos, pensé que eran más grandes pero al ponerlos en el kennel, quedaron muy bien. El kennel es mediano, asi que creo que la medida es lanecesaria, me gusta que les pueda servir agua a mis perros desde afuera sin que se salpque. Al final no los usé en el avión, no me permitió la aerolinea llevarlos dentro, pero sirvieron para entrenar a mis perros a estar dentro del kennel por más y más tiempo sin estresarse. Tal vez los ocupe como comedero de aves o algo parecido después. Realmente recomendado y se sujetan bien.

Unnecessary. I cannot imagine a use for this item, once we got it.

Works great. Nice that you can add water through the kennel door.

Fits perfectly. Well made and suitable for my dogs kennel. Holds alot of water.

Very small tea cup in picture for comparison and this was the large size. Plastic Very brittle and in 2 days broke as also shown in picture.
