Abstract
A watering device for pet animals is disclosed, wherein a sucking pipe is attached to a hermetically sealed water-container, through a suction port of which a pet animal can water any time it likes. Loaded into the sucking pipe is a leak-preventing plug which is provided with a through hole communicating with the water container. With such an arrangement, the pet animals can draw the water in the water container through the through hole of the leak-preventing plug. The leak-preventing plug has on its outer circumferential surface a plurality of collars with the object of hermetically sealing the gap between itself and the sucking pipe.
