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.

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...

AWLQ Stray Animals Day Challenge - April 4

AWLQ’s Stray Animals’ Day – a chance to make a $124,000 difference Ambassador NRL Titan Chris McQueen has launched AWLQ’s inaugural Stray Animals’ Day April 4 challenge with a target of $124,000, to cover the cost of running its vital foster house program. “An incredible 6,200 animals, or more than 71% of all animals in AWLQ’s care, spend time in foster care each year,” Chris McQueen said. Oliver, the Staffy cross - what a difference a month makes! Animals, just like Oliver. The Staffy cross had a severe skin condition and has so far spent a month with foster carer Amelia and was at the challenge launch. “It’s amazing to see the difference in Oliver’s condition in that time,” Chris said. “This is clearly a happy dog that is enjoying a home environment while he recuperates.   “In the off-season Nicole and I would be looking to foster for AWLQ – as it’s so rewarding and makes such a difference.” Animal Welfare League Queensland continues to be a leader in animal rehoming....
