Sure, we’ve racked up awards, recognition, and a few shiny plaques along the way… but honestly? None of that matters anymore. Because today, we received the ultimate honor: Dutch Approved™.

Yes, Dutch—the discerning, four-legged authority on hydration—has officially given his stamp (or paw) of approval to the Nelson Automatic Waterer. And really, what higher achievement could there be?

Move over Nobel Prize, step aside Oscars… the ‘Dutch Seal of Approval’ is the only accolade that truly counts. We accept this distinction with wagging tails, sloppy kisses, and the deepest gratitude.

Fresh, clean water — anytime they want it. 💧🐴

This beautiful horse is loving the reliability of their Nelson Automatic Waterer, built tough for every season and designed to keep water fresh and flowing.

💡 Did you know? During intense exercise or hot weather, a horse can lose up to 4 gallons of sweat per hour, making rehydration critical. Keeping fresh water constantly available helps prevent colic, dehydration, and supports overall health and digestion.

Let Nelson do the work so you can focus on what matters most — happy, healthy animals.

Clean, fresh water isn’t just a luxury—it’s a lifeline for your animals. Whether it's horses, cattle, or dogs, every cell in their bodies depends on water to function properly.

From regulating body temperature on hot days to aiding in digestion, nutrient absorption, and waste removal, water is involved in just about every biological process. Even slight dehydration can lead to reduced performance, poor appetite, and serious health issues.

Don't mess around with hydration. Use an automatic waterer that is dependable and designed to last.
