Petmate Pearl Replendish Waterer with Microban

Works great for my 2 larger breed dogs (Pitbull and Lab). I have had it about a week and a half now, and I think I have to refill the 4 gal container every two days or so. Before I felt I was always just filling bowls of water for them. Only con I can think of is the 4 gal container can be somewhat difficult to put back on the bowl, simply because its 4 gal and a little heavy. Petmate has made it easy to get it aligned in the hole and barely any water starts coming out in the process, all of which goes in the bowl so no mess. Would definitely recommend for homes with multiple dogs. I have used the filter in the cap and have noticed no issues with it, there are instructions to rinse it prior to Works great for my 2 larger breed dogs (Pitbull and Lab).

I had a waterer similar to the Frisco gravity but the bottle opening was too small to clean the bottle properly. The bottle would get slimy around the opening where I couldn't reach with a brush or my hand. The waterer doesn't have that problem. The bottle opening is wide enough and the area around the opening is sloped so the bottle and area around the opening is easily cleaned. I don't use the filter because I use plaque control in the water (which I recommend to everyone). Yes, the bowl should be attached to the bottle before flipping, but I clean the bowl and bottle with each refill anyway.

I was also concerned about the pugs having trouble with the bowl being too small given there flat faces. No problem at all. All 3 pugs drink out of both the small and medium bowls. … more

Purchased for my two cats since they're on a high liquid diet. One of my cats loves to knock out/spill the water bowls and this is the perfect little dish to prevent that. We have a large lab mix who is able to drink from it as well but our next purchase might be the next size up. Overall, we've had this for nearly two weeks with no issues. I chose not to use the filter since we have our own water filtration system, and was pleased when removing it didnt cause any issues in overfilling. Lasts my two cats half a week.

I live on a farm and have 3 dogs. My sister drops her 3 dogs off during the day for me to care for, and I was filling the water dish several times a day. This waterer is perfect. It lasts 5-6 dogs about 1.5 days. I’m a firm believer that animals should have fresh, clean water daily, and this waterer allows the dogs to have fresh water while also giving me a break from refilling the dish constantly. It also has a filter, so that aids in the freshness too. It’s easy set up, fill up, and clean up. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality automatic waterer.

The 2.5 gallon dispenser seems sturdy but I’m disappointed the bowl only fills halfway with water. I bought it for the stray cats outside and they don’t like to stick their heads in that far to drink. They’ll probably adjust to it in time but just wanted to point this out. Maybe the smaller ones might fill to the top but the 2.5 gallon definitely doesn’t.

After purchasing this item, which is great, cause she will always have water, but I noticed, after a few uses, that her beautiful white fur is now really black and dirty. Only thing I could think of is it is coming from the charcoal filter. I plan to change it once a month, but feel like I want to NOT use the filter because she always looks dirty now. Going to take her the groomer to clean her u. Clear water wouldn't do that, so I hope, by opting to stop using the filter, it will be okay.

My owners tried to keep my previous water bowl filled, but I’m a big dog and love to drink water. Everyday they filled it...I’d drink it. Sometimes they’d forget and I would get real thirsty. Finally they got me this BIG water bowl. I heard them say it was 4 gallons so it must be big. But all I know is the big man only fills it once a week and I can drink all I want. No more thirsty dog in this house.

My little dogs don’t need big feeding dishes, but that meant refilling their water dishes all the time. I can fill this, and not worry all day. It’s neat, and doesn’t leak. I’m happy with it.

I searched and searched for a better water bowl for my two cats, everyone replenished water bowl I found had bad reviews. I bought this one and it's perfect! I highly recommend it especially for small animals. 10/10

I love this but I can't find new filters anywhere. I bought mine at petsmart and the filters they had right next to it, the ones that the employee said would work, absolutely don't. Suggestions please. Also saw a post saying that the filter doesn't stay in...their waterer must have been missing the plastic filter holder bar that came with mine.
