These Bowls have a pool of water at the base of the round shape of the lid roughly 1\/2 of an inch deep. The distance from the top of the ball shape of the lid to down where the water level sits is roughly 1\/2 the length of the average sized tongue of the respective Breed Size Lid. The dog rests his muzzle at the top of the ball shape on top of the lid and his tongue laps up the water from the pool at the base of the round shape. As their tongue plunges into the pool of water the shape of the ball shape forces even more water up the sides of it and into that reverse cupped chamber on the backside of their tongue while they drink. The water automatically replenishes and stays at that 5\/8 inch level. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eDoes the dog still get the same amount of water on a daily basis?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Yes, the Slopper Stopper bowl does slow down your dogs drinking by half the normal rate of consumption time but they continue to get the same amount of water they would normally drink throughout a day. The bowl allows for 85% or more of the water to be consumed by your dog versus other bowls, which end up with 30-50%+ of the sloppy water all over your floor, for you to clean up. For all those dogs that drink too fast and throw up because of it, this bowl greatly helps with this bad habit. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eWhy does my dog make more of a mess than I thought he would?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is a break in period of 2 to 3 weeks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto see maximum results.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The majority of cases it works right away but sometimes can take up to 2 weeks for the maximum amount of mess to stop. For those first few weeks your dog may make more of a mess than you want and it is usually because they try and put their whole snout down into the circular area. At about 2 weeks he will get used to it and figure out that it is much more efficient to drink by resting his muzzle on the top of the ball shape instead of jamming his snout down into the hole. You can look to see roughly 85% of your old mess is gone using this bowl, in some instances that percentage is even higher. We have seen many instances where a dog learns to drink from this bowl and then will only drink from it, even when there is a wide open\/no top open water bowl next to it. They really enjoy drinking from the Slopper Stopper Bowl once they are used to it. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHow long does it take for my dog to figure out how to use the bowl?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Some dogs go right to the water and start drinking, some may take a day or so to get use to it. An easy way to start them drinking from it is to put just a a little bit of peanut butter on your fingertip and rub it onto the inside lower edge of the ball shape of the lid. Once the dog smells the peanut butter they will go right to it and then realize there is fresh clean water for them to drink. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHow effective is the unit at keeping the breeds with long ears, hairy ears and long beards completely dry when they drink?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The Utility Patented design prevents breeds with long ears, hairy ears and beards from get those areas wet. This greatly reduces those areas from getting wet and creating a mess. If you have a breed that has an especially long bearded dogs like a Labradoodle pay close attention to the width measurements of the lids above compared to the width of your dogs tongue and order the width that is 10-15% bigger than the width of your dogs tongue. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eIf I have multiple dogs, a smaller one and a larger one, can my smaller dog drink out of the bigger bowl?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This question depends on what type of smaller dog. If the smaller dog has a thinner and longer snout then yes, smaller dog will simply put his whole snout down into the circular area and drink from the water at the bottom. If you have a French Bulldog with a very wide face and short tongue that breed would have a problem drinking from a Large or a Giant Lid Bowl because their wide face gets in the way. Take a look at the opening sizes and then figure out whether your smaller dog can get his snout all the way to the water. Another option, you can always order a second bowl with the correct sizing for your smaller dog. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHow effective is the unit at keeping the breeds with long ears, hairy ears and long beards completely dry when they drink?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The Utility Patented design prevents breeds with long ears, hairy ears and beards from getting those areas wet.

If you know your dog will continue to grow into a bigger sized Breed Lid than you'll need to buy multiple lids to accommodate his growth. Example: You have a 4 Month Old Lab Puppy that will be roughly 70 pounds when full grown but he's making a mess now and you want something that helps now. Well if he is 4 months old and only 35 pounds he needs a Medium Breeds Lid (21-50Lbs), then at full grown he needs the Large Breeds Lid (51-85Lbs). You would simply buy 1 extra Lid Only of the smaller Breed Size Lid, then switch it out to the Large Lid later on as he grows. Also note that puppies and dogs as they are growing are much worse of drinkers than at full grown as they are still developing size wise and mentally. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eIs the Bowl DishWasher Safe?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Yes, but dishwashers all have very different levels of hot water, please wash on top shelf. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHow often should I clean the unit?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Hand Wash the bowl and lid every two days and take out and clean the gasket every month.
