I got this for our bunny and he loved it! I protected the cords so he could chew them, and the little guy immediately started drinking out of it. The dog on the other hand, was NOT a fan. He took a few sips initially and refused to drink out of it again as long as he had his regular water source available. It could be due to the new plastic taste straight out of the box, but he also could have just been offended by the small size of the new water feature. Regardless, it works great for our rabbit and is quiet enough that I don't notice it.
