Petmate Kennel Bowl, Large

This works great for ANY cage! No need to open the cage door! Just fill it with water from the outside opening! Finally! This is great for transport type cages so you don’t risk the pet escaping. Works on any cage! Easy design and easy to remove and clean. I’ve had one on my Cat cage for 2 years and just bought another for more water. Highly recommend!

I bought one of these years ago to keep in the crate with my tiny blind dachshund because she didn't like or couldn't use the hamster water bottle. Years later, I've bought another for my lab puppy. My only complaint is that the gap between the little piles that flow into the bowl is a little narrow for the crate I'm currently using (a size Large), but with a little pressure it still fit. I love being able to refill the water from outside the cate. At the same time, it's easy enough to remove and clean frequently.

I got this for when my outside dog got surgery and needed to keep him inside. The size is nice and very easy to put together. It works but mine seems to spill when I pour it in. Besides the spilling it works well for it's function.

After trying many other water dishes for the crate of our 100 pound German Shepherd. We finally found this one which will not spill over. It is very sturdy and much smaller than all the other bowls we bought. The key is to place it low in the corner. We Are now getting a good nights sleep after he’s had some water from this bowl. We keep a bottle near the crate to refill as needed. Very good price and well worth purchase!!

It pains me what a good idea this product is and how poorly executed. I have two perfectly standard black collapsible crates, the absolute most basic and standard kind of all-wire crate imaginable. Despite the product’s claim that it fits most wire crates, it does not fit either of mine. It might fit the wire door of a travel crate? But if you have an all-wire crate, I think it’s most likely that it will not fit.There are two problem, which another reviewer also demonstrates well with photographs. First, the space between the spouts is too narrow to go around the crate’s wires. Second, the collar where the shaft with the screw threads meets the base of the bowl extends too far. Both prevent the fully assembled bowl from fitting on the crate. And these problems are avoidable, because they can be fixed by filing or grinding down the relevant parts. They could easily have made this thing work if they’d ever tested it on a run-of-the-mill collapsible crate.So why, with such a flawed design and a false claim to fit most crates, do I still give it 3 stars? Because the idea, for a bowl that can easily be filled from outside the crate, is such a good one, and it really does work well once you have modified the product. It’s easy to fill and stays securely in place. I haven’t seen anything else quite like it. I like the star feature enough that, after I damaged the spout of one trying to modify it, I bought a second to modify to replace it! My only complaint about the modified product is that it’s a little hard to unscrew and remove, but that does give me confidence it will stay in place well.So, if you want a bowl you can fill from outside and either have a crate with very fine wire or are willing to put in some time with a file/grinder, this one is for you. If you want something you can use out of box, skip it. And if you’re the manufacturer—PLEASE test this with standard collapsible crates and update your design!

I was expecting lower quality based on reviews but I am pleasantly surprised! It’s sturdy, easy to take on/off and works exactly how it’s supposed to. I loved the idea of being able to refill the water from the outside.We will be traveling with our cat internationally from Japan to the US in a few months. I am an over planner and was concerned with the need to open the kennel to replenish his water at our layovers. My fat cat Fabio would escape and cause a scene at every opportunity. This works exactly as designed where you can fill it up from the outside. There is also a lip on the inside to help keep the food and water from spilling. It’s nothing short of brilliant!Before purchasing I was worried by some reviews mentioning it was a faulty design and wouldn’t allow it to line up on wire kennels. When you first put it on it absolutely seems that way but after a second I noticed you install it with the wire going through the plastic bolt. It fits perfectly and makes the whole thing much more secure. I included pictures to make it more clear. Hopefully this helps someone who like me installed it incorrectly the first time.If you find this review helpful I would appreciate You letting me know!

This water bowl doesn’t attach to the Petmate Vari Crate. The wires on the crate door are spaced wrong for the parts sticking out of the bowl and the funnel to go through the openings at the same time. It would work on the little windows, but then it’s too high for the dog to drink from it.

this is perfect for days you have to go out for a little bit and need to put your pet in the kennel, it attaches right to the side and your pet can't rip it off!
