Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Never mind the haters, here's what you need to know: Of course standing water will result in mold. My research with hot tubs says: bleach in tap water is good for like 3 days. So, step 1 - maybe change the water every 3-4 days. Or go longer and see what the limit is...and subtract one day. Step 2 -- Rinse the entire thing out with water:bleach mixture periodically...like 10:1 or 20:1. Ain't no big thing. Size: The large size seems quite big but not ridiculously big. Fine for my mid-size lab. Probably fine for a great dane. probably unnecessarily large for a small or teacup dog. The small size is perfect for my cats. I'm sure would be good for small or teacup dogs. Those complaining about water leaks - if your LARGE water dispenser didn't come with a spring-loaded stopper, you'll have problems. Contact the seller and get a replacement. People complaining about the food dispenser getting knocked over and the top coming off: I've never had that problem w/ my calm dog. I think this is a RARE issue. But, agreed - the top is NOT screwed on, it's a pressure lit kind of like tupperware but a smaller lip so it's not a struggle to remove when adding more food. That said..I guess the option is to buy and try, and then return or add somen (admittedly) ugly packing tape to hold the top on from your rambunctious pets. I think this has been a problem for the small dispenser with some dogs. The large dispenser's top is fine, As i said, hasn't been a problem at all for me. People complaining about large water bottle collapsing from water pressure -- hasn't been a problem for me. That said -- DO twist the water bottle after putting it on the base so it's held in place. And when transferring from counter to floor, take care to NOT undo the twist. Some videos for this product neglect to do the twist...that's a mistake. ! As for the items -- they work well, the price is good, I'm pleased. -- PTPGR
