Abstract

A watering device for animals with continuously flowing water to attract the attention of the animal utilizes a water screw device within the watering device to move water from a lower bowl of the device to an upper bowl to create flowing water. The water screw is configured such that the electrical components of the water screw remain separated from the water of the watering dish to remove the possibility of electrocution of the water. Rather, only the mechanical components of the water screw device contact the water of the watering device while the electrical motor of the water screw remains safely out of the water.
