Fuzzy Puppy Flat Sided Pail with Dual Hooks, Snugly Fit On Dog, Cat and Critter Crates & Cages, Heavy Duty Stainless Steel | 2 Quart (PN: FSP-2)

When I saw these, I thought, "Oh cool, something easy and that holds a decent amount of water without being too expensive." Seriously, these little gems exceeded my expectations. And that's rare, because half the things we try to buy don't work out nearly as well as we'd hoped. Not these. We have two growing pups, and two kennels plus a playpen. One kennel has thinner cross-bars, and the pail needed no adjustment to be hung inside. The other kennel has slightly thicker cross-bars, so we did have to carefully widen out the hanging hooks. Because I saw some remarks about them breaking, we were careful to hold at the weld and use pliers to gently widen out the hang sections of the hooks. Took us maybe 5 minutes to get it to hang. No breaks or cracks. Everything is still quite solid, hangs well, and can easily be removed to clean / refill. Plus, because these pails are metal, the water stays nice and cool. My 4-month-old lab pups who drink like crazy, have not yet had a night where they've run dry. Always still about 1/3 - 1/2 full in the morning (6-7 hour stretch). Our cat even sneaks into the kennels or playpen to drink from them. We usually transfer one from a kennel to the playpen, but might just buy another simply so the cat can have more spots. :D Sometimes, simple truly is best.

My dogs love these. I have one in a kennel for my 11# dachshund, the other on the outside for my other 50# dog. I have noticed my dogs prefer to drink from this smaller bowl/ bucket than the large bowl nearby. Even my cat prefers these over the other bowl. This is even when freshly cleaned and filled. The hooked part on the back is firm but was ready enough to slightly bend to fit their crate. Has held up for a few years now, no issues or noticeable wear aside from an occasional ding.

I love these! Fit both crates perfectly!

Perfect size for smaller crates(for my Chihuahua :)) Hangs securely, easy to clean and being stainless steel, it resists rust. Holds plenty of water. Great for spillproof travel, as well. Love it!

Works as advertised and accomplishes what I need it to. My dog has bumped into it a few times and it’s spilled over the sides, but has not fallen off. Would absolutely buy again. Update 12/2025: I’ve noticed several rust spots/ blemishing in the bottom of the bucket. I have maintained the bucket with consistent washing with a soft sponge. I am somewhat disappointed in its longevity.

I have two Great Danes and these guys drink, slobber and spill gallons of water daily. I got tired of constantly refilling the standard water bowl and was looking for something bigger. I still use a standard size water bowl inside their kennels to limit how much they drink when confined and less to spill on the bedding. However, I wanted something larger to hang on the outside of the kennel for them to drink from when they are out of the kennel roaming freely about the house. I originally bought the 9 quart size first thinking the bigger the better and less refills. Wrong! I immediately exchanged that size for the 4 quart size - here’s why… The 9 quart was just too big hanging on the outside of the kennel and too heavy to carry from the sink when it was time to clean and refill. And as often as their water needs to be cleaned, 9 quarts would be a lot of wasted water. I also didn’t think it was very stable hanging on the kennel with two 150 pound beasties wrestling and bumping into everything in their path - water everywhere! Once the 4 quart size arrived it has been working out great. It hangs fine on the outside of the kennel and so far has been stable while they drink from it and when they bump into the kennel. I have mobility challenges but I’m able to easily carry the full bucket by the handle from the kitchen sink to the other rooms - it’s actually easier than carrying the standard water bowl that doesn’t have a handle. The 8 inch diameter at the top of the bucket is the same size as the standard bowl we use and is plenty large for my big snouted doggos. My boy Monty likes to submerge his whole nose into the water bucket and blow bubbles - I don’t why but he’s been doing it since he was a baby - anyway he can do that just fine with the 4 quart bucket. And that’s one of the reasons we go through so much water because after he finishes blowing bubbles and drinking, he just pulls his head out of the water and runs back to playing with his mate leaving a trail of water streaming from his face and mouth all the way to the floor (thus the reason to the towels on the floor) - cute but very messy! The only improvement I would recommend is to make a 3 quart size - basically take the 4 quart’s 8 inch top diameter but make the bucket a smidge shorter. My guys are leaving about 3 inches of water at the bottom and looking at me like “Mom time for a refresh!”. They can reach the bottom if they want but by the time the water level gets that low there is so much slobber, dirt, leaves and other crap that’s washed out of their mouths that the bucket really does need to be cleaned and water refreshed. I’m doing a refresh 2-3 times in a 24 hour period now with the bucket instead of 10-12 times with the standard bowls I was using. So overall the 4 quart size is working well for us but a 3 quart would have been perfect as long as the top diameter was the same as the 4 quart. I did think the price was a bit high but so is everything else these days. Hope this review helps someone out there!

Love these pails for their crates in the home and in the vehicle! The hooks and flat side make it easy to stay in place. The size is perfect for my large breed dogs!

I have used these flat sided pails with dual back hooks in my home dog boarding / daycare business for over 3 years and every single one looks great. There are no scratches, rust, or broken / dented parts. They wash clean easily. They tend to get temporary water spots if they are not dried right away after washing them. I use them primarily for water but also use them for food if necessary. I like these as an alternative to a traditional floor bowl as it is much easier for the dogs to step on and flip the floor bowls with their feet accidentally or when wound up. It is far more difficult to flip or spill a pail raised off of the floor. The flat back and hooks on these is genius! Once hung they are quite stable for most dogs, however occasionally I will have an energetic or spiteful dog who accidentally or intentionally knocks it off the crate wall. For these occasions I like to use a double ended bolt snap to connect the handle to a crate bar above the pail. So even if they knock the pail off of the hooked bar it is caught and doesn’t fall by the handle hook above. A slight water mess can be made this way if they are determined but rarely a kibble mess. For sloppy drinkers these pails help contain the mess if they are only filled halfway. Then the water shooting around as they drink hits the sides of the pail and when they are done they have to raise their head out of the pail giving a second or two extra time for the mouth to drain. I have one pail someone gave me for free that does not have the double hooks and is simply hung by clipping the handle to a crate bar. I never use it because it freely swings and easily makes a mess. The double hooks will over time scratch the paint off of the crate bar where it is hung. This is a minor cosmetic problem. The handle is center balanced and makes carrying it a breeze. These are thick and durable, not thin or cheap. I think the price for a multi year indestructible rust proof item is a good deal! I have about 25 of these in 1 quart and 2 quart. I use the one quart for small / medium dogs. I use the two quart for medium / large dogs.

Highly recommend! I was looking for water buckets for crates and was afraid it wouldn’t be compatible with different styles. This bucket works great for a car water bowl (just fill only a third or so and it’s less likely to spill). The hooks on the bucket easily fits traditional wire crates as well as the ruffland doors securely. Didn’t need to force it or bend it at all for it to hang on. Was happy with the first two I bought I just ordered three more.

Suffisamment profond pour mon BBS,

Un po' caro, ma perfetto per chi ha un cane che rovescia sempre la ciotola!

Muy buen producto, excelente material, capacidad adecuada para que tu can-hijo se mantenga hidratado!

Whats not to like? This bucket looks good and works well for my dogs, I had one for work and bought another to go outside on the garden fence.
