An animal drink bowl (1) comprising a support framework (5) and a mounting plate (3) for mounting the drink bowl (1) to a wall or other structure, and from which the support framework (5) extends outwardly. A container (7) for drinking water is pivotally coupled to the support framework (5) by a main pivot shaft (15) which is carried on a pair of mounting members (14) extending downwardly from the support framework (5). A float control valve (35) rigidly secured to the support framework (5) terminates in an inlet port (39) through which drinking water is supplied into the container (7). The container (7) is pivotal downwardly about the main pivot shaft (15) from an operative state for presenting drinking water to an animal and a discharge state for discharging water and other debris therefrom during cleaning of the container (7) independently of the float control valve (35) and the inlet port (3), so that the float control valve (35) can be rigidly secured to a mains water supply.
