Want to make sure it will reach my elevated outlet.** A: At least 4’ long. Loved it but it didn’t last very long maybe 1/2 the winter. It was in the elements however wind and below zero so maybe if it was in a shelter I it would have lasted longer **Q: What is the measurement from the ground to the top of the bucket, i have a jr terrier sized dog** A: About 10 inches. I used them for Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats. By weaning they had no difficulty. But for smaller animals I'd recommend the PETESCO heated Dog bowl $22.95 I think, on AMAZON. $ 4 1/2 inches tall and MUCH more stable. **Q: can these be placed on the ground?** A: Yes, they can be put on the ground. These are the best heated buckets and have the best thermostats. The green buckets/tubs (don't remember the brand) stay too warm. I love these blue ones, I have 3 tubs, 4 buckets, and 2 small mini size, and one for the dogs, these are the best. **Q: Where is the heating element? Just on the bottom ? Can I drill holes and insert drinking nipples say 1.5" from bottom of bucket around the sides?** A: Yes the heating element is just on the bottom. That is exactly what we did with this bucket for a chicken waterer last winter. It worked out great with nipples from mypetchicken.com. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A superior product as heated buckets go. *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on 22 March 2016* I have sheep, goats and miniature goats, as well as large dogs and have used the five gallon (20 quart) buckets in winter for many years. For me, it is easier for me to carry the 8 quarts than 20, and easier to dump out when cleaning.Most of my animals think this bucket is fine. A couple of "Prima donna" sheep with larger heads are fussy about this bucket, because they just don't like having something close to their faces, but other sheep and all goats like it just fine -- seems to be a matter of personal taste. It is a perfect size for lambs to drink out of as they start to wean. I have one in the pen where lambs are born and it is a handy size for a ewe who has just lambed to drink her molasses water, or for a mom to share with her babies. It is so important that pregnant and lactating animals keep hydrated!The water in the barn comes out of the pipes at about 50 degrees -- the temperature of soil below the frost-line (and under the barn). The water in the bucket is a bit warmer and the animals appreciate the gently warmed water.I was thinking of regulating all my heat lamps and water buckets through a heat-cube at the outlet, and then changed my mind: The bucket already has a thermostat which can tell if the heating element needs to be on or off. There are times when the barn in the area of the outlet may be draft-free, while an individual bucket may be in a draft, and if the electricity is turned off, the bucket will freeze. If it freezes, it will crack. I've lost a couple of five-gallon heated buckets by unplugging them too early. Make sure your electricity is on!BTW, I have used grounded Outdoor Christmas Light extension cords hung from the ceiling by big blunt utility hooks and plug the buckets in at the top of pen-panels, or high on support posts or walls -- out of reach of curious lambs or kids. I have even used buckets outside in freezing weather. I appreciate that this product comes with a grounded plug, and a wire coil around most of the cord so that curious little teeth can't get a hold on it . Also, I have yet to hear of any animal getting an electric shock (however mild) from a grounded heated water supply. I think this is a superior product as heated buckets go. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outdoor bucket *by S***E on Reviewed in Canada on 1 May 2014* Great product.Perfect for keeping water from freezing for a large outdoor dog.Easy to clean! cord does not tangle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked well *by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on 13 April 2024* Kept water from freezing during below freezing temps. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/569295535-api-9-quart-heated-bucket-9hb](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/569295535-api-9-quart-heated-bucket-9hb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
