Cat has the last laugh when the Kinn Kleanbowl Solved an On-going Problem, YOU can help THEM on Indiegogo!

Disclosure:I was NOT compensated for this review. I was sent a Kinn 8 oz Kleanbowl for Cody in exchange for my always honest review.


As pet parents we often think we know our pets inside and out. When it comes to our pets and their quirks, WE know it ALL and no one can tell us any different. That is exactly how I felt when it was time for me to try the Kinn Kleanbowl out on Cody.

Allow me to back track. I was contacted by Kinn, as were a number of other bloggers to see if I would help them promote their campaign on Indiegogo and in exchange, I could try out their Kleanbowls on MY "boys."

I had read about the Kleanbowls before, and was mostly excited to try the bowl out for Dakota. So much so that I hesitated asking for one for Cody. Why? BECAUSE CODY WILL ONLY DRINK WATER OUT OF DAKOTA'S BOWL. (Or so I thought. I have been trying to break Cody of this habit for NINE YEARS.  NOTHING WORKED...until the Kleanbowl.)

Cody received the Kinn 8 oz Kleanbowl. I decided to bring the bowl into the room and let Cody check it out before I added water to the Biodegradable Nourish-Pet Refill, (The Kinn Kleanbowls comes  with 7 Nourish Pet Refill bowls for your convenience) I figured Cody would never use it anyway, so what the heck.



After trying misc. bowls, fountains, etc. for the past NINE years, I KNEW Cody would NOT drink out of ANY bowl but Dakota's. I was so concerned about Cody not using the Kleanbowl, that I tried to wiggle out of him featuring the bowl on his blog. I emailed my contact and said "don't expect to see photos of Cody drinking out of the bowl. More than likely he WON'T." He proved me wrong, and I could NOT be happier!! I think the Kinn Kleanbowl FINALLY solved my problem!


Product Details

The average pet bowl has more than 1,000,000 dangerous germs that can harm pets, and take years off their life. In addition, when pets drink water from the average pet bowl, bacteria forms a biofilm around the bowl that cannot simply be washed away, water fountain carbon filters and paper food trays spread germs around rather than eliminate them, and dishwashers do not get hot enough to kill all germs. What’s more, these germs create odors that deter pets from eating or drinking from their bowl, and can make pets sick. Pets smell and taste the Kleanbowl germ-free health advantages, and prefer to drink and eat from a Kleanbowl vs. their ordinary pet bowl and water fountain, as you can see at the Kleanbowl Challenge,  and see Cody's video below (please ignore the dirt on our baseboards, OMG!)  







Meet Kleanbowl The Healthier Pet Bowl

"Experience Healthier, Guilt-Free Convenience"





The Kleanbowl features a germ-resistant stainless steel rim with an anti-skid rubber ring on the bottom to prevent moving and spilling, and secures the biodegradable Nourish-Pet Refill in place. The Nourish-Pet Refills are made from sugar cane fiber, so after each use, pet parents can recycle the biodegradable and soak-proof refill, and replace with a new one to ensure pets are drinking clean water for more effective hydration, as well as enjoy healthier meals.




The Kinn Kleanbowl has many germ-free health advantages including healthier hydration, nutrition and quality of life. Also, independent third-party research from Sterling Consulting and the Pet Sustainability Coalition show that using the Kleanbowl can help reduce consumers’ carbon footprint by reducing the use of electricity by 32%, reducing the use of water by 21% and reducing Greenhouse gases by 43% vs. washing ordinary pet bowls.

Torus Water Bowl – "Smart Thinking for Pet Drinking!" Enter to Win the NEW 1 Liter Size!



Back in April, I entered a contest on Love is being owned by a Husky for the revolutionary new water bowl from Heyrex, the Torus Water Bowl. At that time the bowl I won was meant for Dakota because it was a 2 liter. That didn't deter Cody. When Dakota's bowl arrived, Cody was the FIRST to use it! I wasn't completely surprised.  No matter what fountain or bowl  I bring into our home, Cody STILL prefers drinking out of Dakota's bowl.   I think it is because he hopes to find remnants of dog food, but that is another story entirely.

Why the Torus Water Bowl?

"Where conventional water bowls contain a limited water supply, which is further reduced by evaporation and spills, TORUS (Latin for ‘hollow circular ring’) stores water inside the walls to ensure an ample and automatically replenishing and self-dispensing supply – protected against dust and contaminates. The valve position, when locked, secures water inside the walls, making it completely portable. Its soft rubber feet and low profile geometry make it perfect for travel because it won’t move around in vehicles."

The Torus bowl provides pets with cool, clean and fresh, carbon-filtered water anytime the pet is thirsty.

How the Torus Water Bowl Works:



  I loved the bowl so much that I asked if there was a smaller size for Cody. At that time there was not, but I was assured that the smaller, 1 liter capacity Torus Water Bowl would be available in time for the 2015 holiday season, and it is here!

Available in four colors – charcoal, red, blue and pink.
  Each Torus bowl comes with one active carbon filter lasting one month.

The above photo is the exact bowl that Cody received 

I have STRANGE Pets!

I have had Cody's bowl for a little over a week, and while Cody drinks out of Dakota's 2L water bowl EVERY DAY,  he has yet to use HIS bowl.  But look and see who did!

My Experience:

Dakota has had his Torus 2L bowl for a number of months and I could not be happier with it which is the reason I had wanted to review the 1L size when it became available. As I had mentioned above, I have only had Cody's new 1L bowl approximately a week or so, and  as of this posting, Cody has not used it. He DOES use Dakota's 2L  Torus Water Bowl daily.

I love that when  you turn the dial to allow the water to flow into the bowl, it only fills maybe a half inch or so.  That feature is fabulous because it prevents stagnant water from accumulating in the bowl. As your pet drinks the water and the water level goes down, the water begins to fill again in the bowl from the water that is stored in the reservoir. I have to fill Dakota's bowl approximately every other day. If you have dogs you would have to re-fill the reservoir about the same depending on the number of dogs using the bowl, and the size of your dogs, and how much they drink. For the 1L bowl for smaller pets you might have to fill it less.

While  water fountains are great, I love the convenience of the Torus Water Bowl and could not be happier with this product!
  
The Torus bowl is easy to clean and is super easy to re-fill, and the filters are a CINCH to change!

Available in multiple colors, the prices are $59.95 (2 Liters), $54.95 (1 Liter), and $17.95 for a five-month  filter supply  TORUS is PBA-free, with a 12-month warranty, and no need for batteries or any power source.
