Large Dog Gravity Feeder For Sale (2024 Update)

These were perfect! The food feeder holds a week's food for my outdoor cats so I don't have to worry about them. I use the waterer for my two Indoor cats. My youngest.cat likes to drag his old water dish around, sloshing water all over the place! But he can't budge the new one because of the 2-gallon water jug. I love it!toad0219

I have 6 cats, which means the food bowl is always in need of filling. This large, gravity style feeder is perfect for that. No more hungry kitties, meowing about an empty bowl. This feeder isn't made out of the sturdiest plastic, the clear container part has some flex to it. It's not flimsy, but I wouldn't qualify it as sturdy either. It should hold up just fine with cats, but if you have a large dog, it might take a beating. I liked that the stickers on the container peeled off easily and didn't leave any sticky residue behind. This feeder will hold about 10 pounds of small kibble. I think with larger dog kibble it would probably only between 5-7 pounds.JtownCatLady

I purchased the 1.2 gallon one for my cat who drinks a lot of water. I clean it and change the water once per week and the bottle is still about 1/3 full when I change it. It’s working great and my cat adjusted to it instantly. However I find it a little difficult to pull the bowl off the bottle when I want to refill it, but I manage. You have to be careful after you attach the bowl and turn it over because you do lose some water, which is why I do it over the sink. Also, after 4 months of using it the cap has cracked almost all the way around the top, however it still seems to be working without any issues. My husband just glued the top with some silicone so I’m hoping that does the trick. I guess for a little over $10 you get what you pay for. I wish Walmart would sell just the replacement cap.cherdani

I received my Vibrant Life 10 pound feeder promptly from my carrier. It came packaged well and there was no marks or dents on the feeder. This is a big feeder made of tuff plastic. I rinsed the cat feeder with warm water and dried it so the cat food would not get wet when I filled it. I then filled the Vibrant Life feeder with dry cat food, if you buy you cat food by the 10 pound bag this is perfect. I have two cats a petite one and a big fury one, and soon as I filled the feeder with dry food they went for it. This feeder is perfect for my busy lifestyle as the cats can eat whenever they want and not wait around for me to fill their dish everyday. I gave the product 4 stars because the bowl has to get pretty low before the dry cat food will start to fill up the bowl. My two cats prefer a full bowl so I just sweep my hand back and forth in front of the spout and move the dry cat food back as it fills. It just takes a few second to do this and the bowl will stay full enough for days. I would surely recommend this Vibrant Life 10 pound feeder to everyone.cedar

I feel like this product has a lot of potential, however, it doesn’t work that well with the brand of cat food that my cats eat. The food has a really difficult time falling down into the bowl unless I scoop it out into the bowl myself with my hand. This creates an issue with the bowl going empty and never refilling itself. I suppose with smaller sized food pieces this would work great, but if you use Meow Mix this might not be the feeder for you.Hunter

It does what it’s advertised to do HOWEVER the threshold for the water is too high in my opinion. It fills the water to the very edge (almost about to spill), which causes a lot of spillage on the sides when my dog drinks water. I have to put it on top of a pee pad just to catch the excess so my wood floors don’t get damaged. It doesn’t leak if you leave it in one place but if you move it just a little to adjust position then all hell breaks loose and water goes everywhere. Honestly would rather just stick to a regular bowl. Cool idea but definitely needs some design tweaks.wzhang

At first I really liked this waterer. It holds a good volume of water, and the mechanism to be able to remove the water tank without dumping water everywhere is very convenient. However, that mechanism involves a metal spring which sits in the water dish in the base–it sits in water–24/7. It has become completely rusted, even though I have tried to scrub off the rust multiple times. I don't want my cat drinking rust water! This is not safe for pets. I'm very disappointed, because it is now too late for me to return it.CP

We bought this to keep our giant slobbery indoor heckin' chonka watered for a brief getaway, and on the whole it's hit the mark for that. At 4 gallons of water, with an optional activated charcoal filter pack, this thing will keep your dog(s) stocked with tasty water for quite a while (especially if you have smaller breeds). It's now our everyday waterer, and we fill it once or twice a month depending on seasonal weather. It's very easy to clean, with all the parts coming apart easily, and the huge openings mean everything's readily accessible even if you have larger hands. Between the easy cleanability and the use of Microban, I'd be comfortable drinking out of it myself after a fresh cleaning. It's never grown weird things or become discolored or slimy between cleanings. But. The 4-gallon model is also a giant, treacherous, clumsy mess when it comes time to refill it and put it back together. Unlike most of their older models, Petmate decided not to mold a handle into the jug on this one. While this would normally just make things slightly less convenient, this jug is also completely untextured and extremely slippery. If you don't manage to get the jug and your hands COMPLETELY bone dry, it can and will slip out of your hands, dump water all over the floor, and dislodge the carbon filter so you have to jam your arm elbow-deep into now-slightly-less-than-four gallons of water to reassemble everything. This giant, slippery, unmanageable bottle uses Petmate's twist-lock bottle top, so even if you get the bottle inserted on the first try, you often still end up wrestling with 32 pounds of sloshy slippery bulk trying to get it into its proper groove. Or, if you don't notice the bottle is slightly off kilter, the gravity feed never stops flowing and soon once again there's water all over your floor. (But, one the up side, once it's on there even your large dog isn't going to knock the bottle off its perch.) If you don't absolutely positively need the largest model, go for a smaller one. If you do, plan to throw some skate deck grip tape or the like on the bottle, and don't plan on passing refill duty off to your younger kids or smaller partner.C.M.

I purchased the 2.5 gallon gravity waterer. It is used by 1 dog and 2 cats. Problem is the water does not flow into bowl unless I tilt it. I thought the filter was obstructing it so I purchased new filter….Same Problem. Then I removed the filter…..Same Problem. Also my cats keep batting at it to get water and end up knocking the reservoir off the bowl…Flows all over floor!! Now it is past the 30 days so no refund or exchange.available…Really wish I had read reviews first, although many seem happy with the product…….Any suggestions??KRP2022

Got a new Jack Russell and after much review of all water bowl products, I decided on this one because it is strong plastic, has microban and is made in USA (although it never says what things are from overseas). Unfortunately, this water "replenishing" water bowl does not work. Utter failure. The charcoal pack had to be removed completely as the water didnt flow. Still, the water does NOT flow…I have to tip is over myself every single time. When I inspected it closer the bottom of the filter part is completely on the bottom of the bowl. Unless the entire unit is tilted at a 45 degree angle, water does NOT come out. I bought this at Petsmart and i tried to take it back but I missed the return window by 2 days. Now I am stuck with a $27 piece of plastic. I hope this will save someone the time, money and frustration.JID918

I bought this one gallon size for my 2 dogs. One is 40lbs and the other is 60lbs. I use this when I need to put them in the backyard temporarily while I clean my house or if we travel visiting family and instead of bringing a bowl and waste water. The spout holds the water in great while we travel. I DO NOT recommend utilizing this 1 gallon size for any dogs if you are planning on leaving the dogs outside while your at work for 10 to 12 hours and if it happens to be a hot day as the water will not last. I would recommend a bigger one. You can put ice into this container. However, DO NOT over fill with ice. If you put to much ice and your pet drinks all the water down to the ice and IF there is more water left over, the ice WILL BLOCK the remaining water and your pet can not get to the water until the ice melts.Amazon C.

Bought this for my 2 rabbits because they were always tossing around their heavy, ceramic water bowls, as well as getting hay and other debris in them. This automatic water dispenser is working out perfectly! We can still take the jug out to clean the bowl itself, but there is a constant amount of water dispensed as needed and my rabbits can also drink at the same time for a communal experience, which they seem to be enjoying. I should also mention that it comes with an extra dispensing plunger for the jug in case the first one breaks, so I was very pleased with that. Quality product!D. G.

I had originally purchased water dispensers for our two outside dogs at our local pet supply store but because of the design, frogs would climb inside the bowl and then crawl further inside and hide underneath the area where the bowl attached to the water canister. When I saw the design of this water dispenser, with the small opening for the water to come from the canister through to the bowl, I knew there would be no place for a frog to hide inside and that they wouldn't even try since there is no place for them to go. So I ordered two of these to replace the larger ones that we had, and thank goodness the crazy frog problem is gone. These water dispensers are not very large, but for my two small outside dogs, they are large enough. They hold a gallon of water (picture a gallon jug of milk), and here in Texas where the dogs' water can start to get that green appearance after just three or four days during the hot summer months, we have to clean and refill the water dispensers frequently, and these water dispensers are so much easier to clean than the large cumbersome ones that we had. I expect that during the cooler winter months, they will hold enough water for our two dogs to last at least a week or slightly longer. I am very happy with the quality of these and am glad that I purchased them.D. W.

What I like best is its simplicity. My dog likes it too. I like its smaller size so its not too heavy to refill and the water is fresher because its filled more frequently.wendeternal1

These are perfect!! I have been looking for large waterer for my dogs. The ones available in the store are too small, I was getting tired of refilling them every other day. With these I can go 5 days before refilling them. I bought 2 of them and they are great and will definitely buy them again.Pandajbl

Bought several pet waterers and they have all had issues. This is the best one ive ever found. Its not too light that it can get knocked over and it holds enough water that it doesnt need to be changed every day. Bowl and container are both made of a thick plastic that seems like it will be long lasting.countryluvin

Hoping the plastic is recyclable because it is a piece of trash. Can't disconnect the jug from the base. Base fell apart in the process. Waste of money. Highly disappointed. Major design flaws.luvmylab2

Purchased for my Mastiff. It is not designed properly. The eating area where food sits should by designed at an angle towards the hatch similar to a trough making it easier for dogs with a large head to have access to the food. My dog had a hard time putting his head in to get to the food towards the back which makes more food come down. My dog ended using the 25lb Chow Hound which is normally used by my small terriers. The food hatch is under 10 inches in width. This is for large dogs but access area to food is small. Compared to my other gravity feeders where the food hatch is almost 15 inches wide my small dogs could fit in the eating area. The value for this item especially when considering the price just is not there. I would not recommend this item solely based on the price. There aren't many gravity feeder options that hold over 40lbs of food that aren't getting into the agriculture/farming/ hunting realm. I would consider these options prior to this gravity feeder. The materials used are quality plastics. The feeder may feel flimsy but it is pretty solid considering the materials. The edges to the area surrounding the food hatch are course, my dogs tended to avoid the feeder because of this as well. Do not buy.Joel

Works great. Food stayed dry in the rain. It takes the dog a few days to learn to push the flap open to eat but it works for weekends away when you can't take your dog.MlBelz

Don't overload it and if the kibble is left to naturally fall, the door will always shut all the way. Have yet to use the waterer, but looks well constructed. Needs to be set on level ground to operate correctly. The food is still dry after a couple days of rain.AlaskaR

This is the feeder I use for my rhodesian ridgeback. I love it! We trained her to eat as she pleases and this makes it so easy to fill up before we leave for the day and not have to worry if she has enough food. It also makes leaving town easier for when we need a dog sitter 🐶nicole.w

Le bistro pet feeder great idea for when you are away for work and sadly you have to leave your furry friend lonely at home. My Daisy was a small pekinua dog , she was crazy about eating dry food. So when I had to go to work I was filling it up and she was eating from it any time she liked to . Very helpful , great idea . I think can be used for cat dry food as well .anneta.d

this item is so so good and totally worth the money! Our puppies LOVE it! Plus who likes filling up a bowl everyday just for it to be gone in seconds? This saves so so so much time! And the dogs enjoy it soooo much! Def reccomend to anyone with animals!maki.m

Sure it holds plenty of food, but the food id doesn’t slide down in bowl like it should. I have to constantly tip it forwards to get food out. We have a multi dog home and this is more work than just filling the individual bowls. First I have to use a 8 cup measuring cup and 6 trips to dog food bag to fill it. Second after each dog eats, I have to tip the feeder to refill bowl. So thats 6 trips to food bag and 6 trips to tipping feeder( we have 6 adult golden retrievers), so 12 trips, ugh. This was suppose to make it simpler. Sad part is we are stuck with it, because hubby had to make a stand to raise it up off floor and screwed feeder to base. So this piece of crap will just sit in basement.Laura

We bought this for our cat. We have to leave her sometimes during the day and we wanted to make sure she had food on hand. I would recommend if you're looking for an inexpensive option such as this.antoinette.c

Just like all the other reviewers said, it's a waste of money. I had to use my fingers to scoop out the food because it wasn't brought down by gravity. The watering feeder is great. The food feeder doesn't stay on at all. I've had to clean up the food more than once, for sure.Kimberly

Top does not hook to the bottom. Just sits. Has fallen several times, left cat food everywhere. The food also does not fall right. You have to jiggle it to make the food come down from the top. Would not recommend buying. I did not expect it to be high quality, but did expect it to somewhat do what it’s purpose is.Shauna
