I bought two of the flat sided pails, thought it was a great idea, but our dogs do not like to drink out of them. They do drink out of our older pail that a friend gave us all the time so being a pail is not the issue. Also, they have rusted on the bottom even though they are inside all the time. I would not recommend them and suggest that Revival investigates the reason the dogs don't like them. Something in the alloy?

Having lived in Southern California our Siberians were used to drinking out of stainless steel water buckets. We moved to Alaska in 2005 and bought some rubber buckets to "weather" our Arctic climate. They absolutely hated them and we had a challenge getting them to drink enough to stay adequately hydrated. The water still froze solid and when we added hot water to the frozen mass, it smelled like we were at a tire store. I was again looking to return to the stainless buckets, as our others had been donated to Rescue in CA when we relocated. I saw these pails and ordered 12+ of them. We use them year round and they are still in great shape. Our Pack numbers change with the addition of rescue Siberians. Currently, there are24 here and these buckets look like new and can take our minus 35 degree temperatures without a problem. I am ready to order more of them now that we have more fenced areas for them.

I purchased two of these 6 qt. flat back pails with hooks for my Chessie's food/water pails. Not only are they are of nice heavy duty quality, they are attractive as well. I like the stable hook feature since large breasted dogs should be fed with an elevated bowl.. The handle is heavy duty also.I will order more for my outside kennel as well!

I simply cut off the hook with a saw and use them daily in the home crates and weekend show crates. Cheap enough to buy extras!!!

Just received my 6 quart stainless 2 hook pails yesterday to replace my plastic and tin pails I was using. I'm not sure on the quality of the "stainless steel", but they are pretty heavyweight and feel very sturdy, well put together. I gave 4/5 stars as I'm not sure how long they will last, if the stainless will hold up against rust. With that said, I shopped around and could not find a better deal on a similar stainless pail with hooks. Once again, Revival beat the competition as far as price is concerned, fast shipping too. I don't think I will have any complaints, but if I un into anything, i'll re-post another review on them. Thanks Revival!
