This water bowl is so much better than similar styles we’ve tried. Others leaked terribly, were too easily pushed over by the dog, or simply too much hassle to fill. This one is sturdy, hasn’t leaked in weeks, and is very easy to fill, flip and lock. We had water dishes in several spots, but he quickly started always going to this one (likely figured out that it always has water in it) So we’ve actually been able to get the rest of the dishes off the floor. Highly recommend.
