Automatic water dishes are a convenience. But make certain that the water being provided to your dog is always clean and fresh.
Things to consider: How to keep water fresh, styles of automatic water dishes, and home-alone dogs.
Fresh Water- Automatic water dishes that do not contain charcoal filters need to be checked regularly to make sure the water does not grow warm, stale, flat, or fill with dust or debris. Automatic waterers are convenient dog dishes and bowls for sure, but they will not keep you from having to ensure that the water you feed your dog is always fresh and clean. If you do not, then regardless of whether your dog gets ill or not, he may stop drinking from automatic waterers altogether.
Staying Dry- Water bottle-style automatic waterers will not only keep your dog properly hydrated, but they will also help you keep your floors dry and clean.
Home Alone - If you are away from home for hours each day, do your dog a favor and make sure he has plenty of water. You never know how thirsty he will be, how hot it will get, or how long you will really be gone. To be safe, give water to your home-alone dog with automatic waterers.
