Automatic dog water supply
Tasha, our elderly American cocker spaniel, drinks a lot of water, and is constantly getting gunk in her water dish. I'm contemplating the addition of an automatic dog watering system to the new house, although Dana's not convinced that Tasha's smart enough to figure out how to use such a contraption ;-)
It seems as if there are two types: one that screws directly onto a faucet, and one that's basically a small sink with a float and valve assembly that keeps the water at an appropriate level. Reviews of both have been good, but the simpler of the two does have the potential to develop a rather serious leak if not regularly inspected. The faucet add-on is appealing because it won't require much in the way of cleaning. The other, while requiring a little more installation time, seems like it might be the way to go.
I'll have to do some more research, and pick out an appropriate place to install such a thing. In the meantime, the faucet-mount attachment is available here and the sink-style watering system is available here. Now if Icould just find an automatic pooper scooper . . .
