Trixie Water or Food Dispenser

Good and easy to use

I found that kibble didn’t flow down as needed and I have to shake it as my cat was getting frustrated trying to get food. Didn’t work with water at all one small bang from cat having a sip and it was everywhere. Good bowls if top taken off

At the begging, it was very useful, however 2 days after I placed this for my cat to drink water, he think it's a new toy and for around 15 days i was every day finding my kitchen wet. Overall is good, but maybe if the support was a little heavier the cat wouldn't be able to play with it.

Amazing price for such a nifty little product! I bought one to use for water for my two small dogs as I find that a lot of dust and food bits from their beards end up floating in their usual open water bowl. This dispenser keeps the water fresh and free from dust allowing an easy flow of water from the dispenser. They haven't knocked it over yet but I'm thinking a thick elastic band would do the job of keeping it in place.

For the price, it's okay but there are a lot of drawbacks. First, it's very easy for the animal to tip up the top part, (deliberately to get at food/for fun because cat do that sort of thing/because it's just too loose). Secondly, bigger food doesn't fall through the hole easily as there's no real slope, you need very, very small food. Thirdly, it's next to impossible to fill with water. At most you can get it 1/3 full. Using icecubes and topping off with water helps a little.

You can use it for water, but I needed it for dry food and it didn't work. I needed to shake it all the time , to get it down into the bowl, because it stuck "always".

I was using this for my rabbits and sometimes it would just not refill so it was unreliable. I had to use the 'food dispensing side' instead and it is really hard to refill or to put back into the cage without getting water everywhere. It works this way but it is annoying, at least they can't knock it over I guess, and it does hold enough water for one day but I wish I had gotten one that refills at the top instead.

brilliant, never been dissapointed in zooplus or the trixie range. Pets love it, happy days.

Our cats used to play with the water in an open bowl and we often found the kitchen more or less flooded, but this dispenser solved the problem and even made them to drink more often than before. Besides, the water stays fresher in the container than in an open bowl. However, the bowl of the dispenser is a little too small for our 7kg male ragdoll (his cheeks touch the rim when he drinks) - but until now he has been ok with it. And yes, as far as drinking and eating are concerned, I would normally prefer ceramics or glass to plastic, but this dispenser seems to be resistant to scratching etc.

I got this for my toy poodle as he has a tendency to upturn his regular water bowl. I bought the small size. The amount of liquid it can hold is great, but I found the drinking area is very small. If I was buying again, I would go for the larger size. I don't think either size would be big enough for a medium to large dog. I found it easy enough to fill, just fill upturned reservoir to the rim, place tray/bowl on top and turn it upright slowly. Works every time.

I bought one for water (works great once you get the wrist flip mechanism down) and a larger one for dried food as i sometimes am away over night. The food really doesn't seem to work as the "gravity" mechanism doesn't get the food coming out the bottom once the kittens have eaten what's in the bowl. There is a slight slope in the storage bowl end but even so the food doesn't "slide down"

I bought this for my two kittens and it works great. You have to be quick to flip it over (the first time the water went everywhere!) and I've started filling it with mostly ice cubes to stop the water stagnating which seems to be working well.

This works on the same principle as a water feeder you would use for a budgie, it's a great invention but a little trickier to fill, I found filling the container to the rim then while holding the full container upside down, placing the base on with the tray the cats will drink from facing toward you, then slowly tilting away from you so that the tray is facing up before leveling out, allows the water to fill slowly into the tray without spilling, my kittens love it so it's worth the patience and practice to master filling it.

Works a charm and the kittens took to it rigt away! Just fill it up while holding it upside down, press the base in to place and then turn it the right way up! Voila!

This does exactly what it's supposed to, nice design and doesn't take up much room. I bought it for my persian kittens as they tend to dip their whole face into the water. This is ideal as it only lets out a shallow pool of water at any one time but will provide them with enough water throughout the day! With a little pratice it's easy to fill (turn upside down) without spilling!

I love this! It has the advantages of both a bowl and water bottle. It is easy to clean, fill up and does not take up much space at all!

There IS no opening on the top which, i've discovered, is due to physics & water. A top opening would let air through & the water level in the container would never be higher than the level in the bowl defeating the object of having a feeder of this kind. This does not apply to food. I have the purpose built one for food only which CAN be re-filled from the top. Once the physics is clear it is a simple but sturdy product. The container separates easily from the bowl & its easy to clean.

've just received two of these today for my cats, one to be a water bowl, the other for the dried biscuits. I'm either being incredibly stupid or it's very poor design, but there is no way to fill these up from the top. The only way they can be filled is by filling them up, putting them in the base upside down and then inverting the whole thing. So far, I've had a full tub of biscuits all over the floor and water everywhere. Not impressed.

A simple but very effective idea. Great if you have a number of cats living together and especially if they are fed on dry food where they would drink more than if they were on wet food.It also saves space by not needed a large bowl of water.
