How to Measure

for the

Pet Adjustable Water Stands™

(Patent Pending)

The size of the water bottle stand your pet will need is determined by your pet’s mature height at the withers (top of the shoulder area-see picture).

A stand basically just holds the water bottle but proper height adjustment of the bottle is very important (please see What You Need to Know). For this reason our stands are made in two pieces, the stand and the water bottle support unit. You have the ability to easily adjust the height of the water bottle on your stand either up or down to reach the most comfortable position for your pet to drink. This is an added benefit for pet owners with immature pets as the level can be adjusted up as your pet matures.

• With your pet standing on all four feet measure from the floor up to the withers.

• Then adjust the water bottle support unit so that the tip of the drinking tube is at or near that level.

Height Adjustment of the Water Bottle

There is no “exact rule” on where to position the water bottle, just some guidelines to go by. It should be adjusted to where it is in the most comfortable position for the pet (see What You Need to Know) to ensure that they drink an adequate supply of water.

Observe your pet as they drink. Do they stretch or strain to reach the tube tip? Do they twist their heads to the side in order to drink? Do they look uncomfortable? If so, then make the appropriate adjustment either up or down until the pet is comfortable.

But keep in mind the pet’s physical condition and its preference. Is it a senior pet? Is the pet handicapped? Does the pet prefer to sit when eating or drinking?

Remember that it is very important that each pet’s water source be adjusted to his or her level to make certain they drink an adequate amount of water.

IMPORTANT: Before leaving your pet alone you must make sure your pet will use the water bottle and that the water bottle is working properly. Please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions that came with your bottle and our FAQ for important and helpful information.

Important: If you have mixed sized pets (Chihuahua and Cocker Spaniel or a Momma and her babies for example), then you will need more than one size PAWS as it is very important that each pet’s water source be adjusted to his or her level to make certain they can drink an adequate amount of water.

Note: PAWS Creations™ cannot be held responsible should a young pet’s mature height exceed the height range of the product purchased.

PAWS are an acronym for the Pet Adjustable Water Stands™ (Patent Pending) and are for indoor use only.
