I was so excited and hopeful for this pet fountain, I wanted so much to love it. I have a medium sized dog, shes a boxer mix, and a very sloppy drinker/eater. The fountain is amazing, I love the thought of the filters and fresh water constantly running for her, but sadly it just doesnt work for us, it makes such a mess all over the floor, and I dont mean a small mess, a huge water mess, and its just not for our Sasha girl, I wish it was. I however gave this foutain to my neighbor for her cat, and it works wonderfully, they love it. The quality and everything seems so amazing, as I said, I wanted to love it. Sad face inserted here.
