Contech DrinkBetter Medium Bowl, Blue
The concept is a great idea, but need to make it in a larger size.

I have a golden doodle that gulps down water so quickly that he ends up throwing it up a few minutes later and I hoped that this bowl would help. Unfortunately, it didn’t. My dog still makes a mess with the bowl and I guess he just pushes down the floating part so he still ends up gulping down water. Also, the bowl is pretty small for even my medium size dog.

I cannot tell you how excited I am about this product! I was very skeptical as Weimaraners tend to have jowls that collect the water and later lead to trails of water all over the place. My pup is very well behaved otherwise and having just moved to a condo, I was really concerned about the cleanliness of our place.
I bought the bowl after much deliberation and I have to say, I am SO glad I did. At first I filled the little insert with water most of the way and she got used to the concept of having the little floater in the middle (of course at that point in time, there were water trails but as with any learning process, patience is a must). After I saw that she was non-plussed by the floater, I then removed half of the water from the floater and that restricted some of the water flow but now she was somewhat licking the water off of it and getting used to the sensation. Still water trails of course. Finally, after a week or so of this, I removed all of the water from the floater and she now drinks in a way that leaves no water in her jowls. I am happy to report “0″ water trails in my condo. What a pleasure this is!!! I don’t have to wipe after her or stress about stepping into gross doggy drool anymore! I recommend this to anyone out there but you HAVE to make sure you are patient and train your dog gradually to drink slower. You won’t regret it!
A really happy customer

Don’t waste your money.
It’s a good idea, but a bad implementation.
The float that is supposed to regulate the amount of available water simply sinks to the bottom, which then allows the dogs to gulp, splash, and dunk their heads.
Consider other options.

This water bowl looks great with the matching food bowl, it doesn’t slow down our dogs drinking pace, but he does drink less water – the float seems to prevent him from drinking the bowl dry.
