I have been on a constant, relentless hunt for a "better dog bowl" for years. My dogs have a good old time splashing in, sloshing around, and shifting their water bowls to locations that should remain dry, but don't. For me, that means a lot of cleaning, at best, and slipping on a wet floor, at worst. My dogs treat their water dish like a toy. It's all fun and games until Nikki falls on her butt.
Enter the HeyRex Torus water bowl from New Zealand. This bowl makes a lot of promises. I wondered if it could keep them. I had high hopes. And I wasn't disappointed. No water on the floor. No rearranging the bowl. No tipping. No sloshing. No muss, no fuss. Yes, yes, yes!

The body of the Torus water bowl from HeyRex is a hollow reservoir that holds your dog's drinking water and also serves to weigh the bowl down to prevent it from sliding and tipping. This design, along with the rounded shape, makes it difficult for a dog to pick the bowl up and move it as well.
There's a removable knob on top that opens into the bowl so you can fill it with water. The knob also has two options. You can turn it one way to lock the water inside while you move the bowl or for traveling, and turn it the other way to release the water for your pet to drink. The water entry site features a place to insert a small, replaceable carbon filter, which is a nice addition to the product. These filters last one month. I use filtered water to fill the bowl, so I haven't replaced the filter, but I do appreciate its usefulness. |

The website recommends cleaning with soapy water and/or vinegar, but I have used a small amount of bleach to good results. I've even run it through the dishwasher and it came out fine.

From the HeyRex website:
The TORUS™ design is comprised of a water storage area and a drinking well. The bulk of your pet’s water is stored and protected inside the hollow walls of TORUS™. Each time your pet takes a drink, replacement water automatically flows from the storage area into the drinking well.
Activated carbon in the replaceable filter reduces flavours and trace elements commonly presented in municipal water supplies.
TORUS™ is exceptionally stable. Low profile geometry and soft rubber feet help prevent accidental spills by boisterous pets or passers-by.
The water level in the drinking well is always high enough to allow easy drinking but low enough to minimise water spills and splashes.
Torus is an ergonomically designed, portable and sturdy water bowl for cats and dogs that provides fresh, carbon-filtered water as often as the animal desires.
Comprising of thick walls housing a concealed water reservoir, Torus is insulated to ensure a pet’s water stays cooler for longer. The plastic material is Food Grade Polypropylene and is not coated with BPA or any other substance.
Fill the reservoir from the top opening, turn the cap to the DROPLET/WAVE position and self-dispensing water automatically replenishes the well, giving access to cool and delicious carbon-filtered water anytime a pet is thirsty. The reservoir dispenses approximately 300mls or a little over half a pint every time, replenishing when the bowl is empty or below approximately 100mls or 0.2 pints.
The Torus water bowl is designed to replenish as often an animal drinks from the bowl, so that water doesn’t go tepid or stale. The reservoir houses 1-2 Liters (approximately 1-2 Quarts) approximately 2-3 days’ worth of water for most dogs and even more for your cat.
The Torus water bowl is ideal for travelling and it is super light at 2.5lbs. To inhibit water-flow when transporting Torus, simply lock the reservoir and you’re ready to take it anywhere, without fear of spillage. The Torus water bowl has been designed with a sleek, stable profile and non-slip rubber foot pads to avoid accidental spills and overflow from the well.
