Water system idea that keep bullies faces & your floor dry without wiping :)

[JLBURCH31]

We came up with this way to use a Lixit (see pics). Works really slick. Their faces and your floor stay nice & dry. No more wiping which IMO helps keep there faces less irritated.
The newer Lixit's that fill from the top work the best. Hubby just made a simple stand out of wood for it that sits over a bowl to catch any drips.

That looks like a good idea. I dont think Brutus would drink out of it though! LOL He is very weird with new things.

I use the same for my 2. JLBURCH31 is right it keeps faces and floors clean. Cleared up Daizy's chin acne in no time.

Good idea, we use the water bottles in their crates to save space from a bowl.

Orion uses one...but she will sit there and drink the whole bottle in a single day. Vegas, the one who needs it...doesn't care to use it. Vegas loves to stick his entire face in the bowl when drinking.

Well..here is a video. This was taken in July/August. Vegas falls at the end, but he's a tough cookie. Vegas had too much KBr in his system...for reasons we are not sure of. He is no longer on this seizure med...and hopefully we will never have to deal with this again.

Very cool setup, Bacon is too snobish to drink out of water bottles anymore. [MENTION=572]Libra926[/MENTION] Bacon slurps the same way as Vegas, it he has his really big bowl he will stick this entire snout in and blow bubbles with his nose.

Omg they work great as I use to work for a exotic bird business and that is how I learned to use those. I attached mine to the open cage so when they would go in to lay down or play whatever, they always had water available and yes a clean face is a much easier face when it comes to kisses

I just whipped one together... Hershey is getting awful puppy acne - sooooooo a few piece of scrap lumber.. .now to see if they will use it

Thanks for the idea and set up

This is brilliant! I'm going to have to give this a try!!!

Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Since Lucy's feeding area is the laundry room, I wonder if I could fasten a strong magnet to the back of the water bottle and stick it on the washing machine.

My girls both have their own bottle. With all the issues of moisture in the wrinkles we have with our EBDs on this site I bet everyone is out buying these lol for their bullies. My girl Thelma has always drank from a bowl and because she is 6yrs old I just assumed she was set in her ways to much to ever try it out. Well here recently mabel got into Thelmas water bowl and with that came slobber and water everywhere so I picked up Thelmas water bowl and cleaned mabels face and the floor ect. I got busy with something else and all of a sudden I heard sip....... sip....... sip....... sip instead of sipsipsipsipsip from my girl mabel and I walked out their and omg Thelma was drinking from the sippy bottle for the first time ever. Thats a wrap for the water bowl and so yeah we totally encourage this for all dogs in our family. When I picked up Thelmas bowl and began cleaning up mabel I didn't know thelma was going to get thirsty and she did but she had watched mabel do this daily with the water bottle and so she knew if she wanted water she can get it from the sippy lol. I really wasn't going to change this for thelma and was ok that she drink from a water bowl but thanks to mabel getting into thelmas water bowl that day now both my girls drink from the sippy
