The Water Butler by Cheekita

The Water Butler® from Cheekita is an automatic self-refilling water bowl and represents a great alternative to traditional water bowls or expensive pet fountains.
During Sydney’s hottest day and warmest year on record in 2013, devoted pet owners Samuel and Marisa were trying to think of innovative ways to keep their two dogs cool, comfortable and refreshed. Through a combination of research and numerous trials of their featured product, The Water Butler®, they knew they were onto a winner and wanted to share their unique, smart idea with fellow pet lovers. 

 How Does It Work?

It takes only a couple of minutes to connect to your outdoor tap and your pets will have unlimited access to a fresh supply of clean water.  

When connected to a garden tap, The Water Butler® will provide a constant automatic refill up to a third of the bowl height, keeping the water cool and fresh, minimising any potential danger of accidentally drowning puppies, kittens or other small animals. 

Watch the video below to see how easy it is to set up and use.



**Please note that whilst The Water Butler holds 3-5 Litres, the float valve has been purposely enabled to deliver a low water level. Whilst it is perfect for medium to large dogs, pet owners of small dog breeds may experience some difficulty in their beloved pet reaching the lower water level. 

What We Like

The Water Butler is made of durable, hard wearing PE plastic so it won't rust. Ours has been in continuous use for over 15 months and it has not aged at all. 

It sits on the deck where temperatures can reach well over 38 degrees in the shade in summer yet the material has held extremely well.

We also love the generous size (26cm x 26cm x 15cm) which means our two Malinois can happily plunge their heads at the same time to have a long drink after a game of chase in the garden!

Our personal recommendation is to disconnect it periodically if you notice that the stagnating water is getting slimy. Simply scrub away any sediments at the bottom and after a quick rinse, it is ready to be used again. 

You can purchase a replacement float valve, water cube or hose (including fittings) from the manufacturer’s website however we have had no need to replace any parts so far. 

Available in White, Lime, Red, Terracotta and Slate to suit any décor.

Sporn Marrow Chew Bone

The Sporn Marrow Chew Bone (originally called the Yuppie Puppy ) is a jerky-flavour filled chewable nylon bone, which promises to control tartar and plaque, assisting with your dog's dental health. After putting it to the test for a number of years with our three Belgian Shepherds, we can attest that it is great for the toughest of chewers and may even save some of your furniture or shoes. Especially recommended during the puppy phase, when your dog is constantly teething and needs something to chew. Chewing this bone is similar to brushing their teeth. As the nylon shreds, it becomes like bristles, removing tartar and plaque build-up from the teeth. These interactive dental chew toys are unique to most other flavoured nylon bones as the marrow is added after the bone has been moulded and cooled. After trialling other brands on the market, we found that the marrow makes the difference and keeps our dogs coming back for more. Our dogs can surely smell it long before they can t...

Dog Eye Injuries can be a Vet Emergency

Eye injuries in dogs and cats are common and are usually caused by trauma (such as a fight with another animal), a foreign body in the eye, infection, an inability to form lubricating tears, or an abnormality in the eye.  WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF AN EYE INJURY? Presentations for these include squinting, pawing the eye or face, watery eyes, a discharge from the eye, the eyes can look red or inflammed, the pupil size may be abnormal, or the pet simply appears uncomfortable or in pain. But when is this an emergency and when should pet owners seek veterinary help? Most injuries that appear superficial occur to the cornea. This is the outer layer of your pet’s eye. There are many very thin layers to the cornea and the seriousness of the injury depends on how many of the layers have been damaged. Injuries to the outermost layer can heal quickly with medication in little time. However, the deeper the injury, the greater the chance of scarring or blindness which often requires surgery to prev...
