This is a must have for a Golden Retriever home or a Doodle home.  Most Golden's like play in their water bowl or slobber water everywhere!  This solves that problem!  If you have a Doodle this will help keep their beard dry and clean. Lots of doodles will hang on to water in their beard making their beard stink like laundry that you left in the washing machine too long.  We are carrying this in two sizes.  I would get a bigger one if you have mutliple dogs or a Golden Retriever.  If you have a single doodle baby the smaller size will work just fine.   They also have a wooden stand that will elevate it off the ground.  We have one of these in every mama room and our dogs main area.  LOVE them!
