Q: Why do I need a WaterDog, what advantages does it provide?
A. The WaterDog offers a healthy alternative to the warm, stagnant and possibly contaminated water, which can be
found in bowls, buckets, troughs and other pet waterers. By providing a fresh, cool and clean source of drinking
water on demand, your dog will enjoy his time outdoors more safely.
Q: How does the WaterDog work?
A: The WaterDog uses ultrasonic sensing technology. This allows the Waterdog to sense the presence of your dog
approaching within 3 feet. State of the art microprocessor technology switches the unit on allowing your dog to
quench his thirst. After your pet is finished and walks away, the unit will shut off, readying itself for the next time he is
thirsty.
Q: Is it easy to train my dog to use the WaterDog?
A: Most dogs drink when they are thirsty and only need to be shown how to use it. We have had a lot of success by
introducing dogs to the WaterDog and actuating it by hand and then, if necessary, holding a favorite treat under the
water stream until they eat it and begin to drink.
Q: Where is the best place to locate the WaterDog?
A: The WaterDog can be easily attached to your outside water hose bib or faucet. Adjust the height so that the
sensing part of the WaterDog is at shoulder height. Adjust the water stream so that it flows away from the direction
your dog would approach. For example, if your WaterDog is attached to your hose bib and your dog approaches
from the left, then the stream should be directed to the right. By doing this, your dog will position his body directly in
front of the sensing area thus establishing a repeatable experience.
Q: Does the water falling on the ground cause any problems, such as mud?
A: For your convenience, The WaterDog's built in technology limits the flow of water to minimize excessive mess. For
many installations, grass under the WaterDog is enough to prevent mud or puddles. In some instances, a layer of
mulch, straw or even gravel virtually eliminates these issues.
Q: What size batteries does the WaterDog use?
A: The WaterDog uses 4 C size batteries (not included), and under high use will last 1 year.
Q: Is the WaterDog durable?
A: Yes! It is designed to provide many years of service through its highly durable and chew resistant materials. It is
weather resistant. The materials of construction are ABS, with a strong UV inhibitor, which will provide a long life even
in hot environments.
Q: What is the warranty?
A: We are proud of our 2 year unconditional warranty. If you have any problems, the manufacturer will replace the
unit. Going even further, the Waterdog comes with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee.
Q: Is the WaterDog technology unique?
A: Yes, the WaterDog is protected by US patents 5,934,221 and 6,202,594.
