One of the best purchases I’ve made for myself and my Golden Lab is his no spill dog bowl. Dogs need to drink plenty of water at home and on the road, but that can often become a messy event. Some dogs have different drinking styles that make them much messier than others. Although when dogs get in a playful mood or are really excited, they can sometimes see their water bowl as a toy, and push it around the house.
It seems like every morning I wake up for work, and every evening that I come home, I am always stepping in a puddle of water in the kitchen around my dog’s water bowl. I ended up putting a towel down under his bowl, but replace it daily as it seems to become soaking wet often. This quickly became a very common occurrence.
Regardless of why your rowdy pup makes a mess, a spill proof bowl can provide a helpful solution by itself or in conjunction with other techniques. In addition to stopping sloppy drinkers, these types of bowls will also help slow down dogs who gulp down their water quickly. Drinking large quantities of water in a short amount of time can cause dogs to hiccup or even throw up!
No Spill Water Bowl for Dog Crate

When it comes taking long trips with your dog, a good travel crate water bowl, that is also spill-proof, will keep your pet’s food or water inside its bowl, and off of the interior floor carpet.
I found this Petmate No Spill Travel Bowl consists of a durable construction and splash-proof design, so you can take it just about anywhere! It is very portable, and has a removable lid for easy filling and cleaning.
No Spill Dog Bowl for Car

Personally, when it comes to a good dog water bowl for your car, the best no spill water bowl is this Pet Supply Imports Anti-Spill Waterhole Bowl.
This Amazon Choice has an overhanging lip that keeps enthusiastic dogs from splashing water on interior carpets or inside their kennels.
I picked this model because it won’t collapse or fold in while an animal is drinking out of it. This bowl is also waterproof, and won’t seep through the bowl’s materials if water is left out for your pet all day or overnight. I also like that the lip keeps long-eared dogs’ ears from dipping into the water and then dripping all over the room.
Stainless No Spill Dog Bowl

If you are looking for a no spill style dog bowl for more of a home use, I think you’ll find this Neater Pet Brands Dog Feeder is just the solution for you.
It is designed to contain splashes and spills with its high walls, while also separating spilled water from spilled food, ultimately helping to prevent any damage to your floors.
There is a lower reservoir in which any spilled water drains into, while keeping any spilled food on top and off the floor. This spilled food can then either be discarded or reused by simply putting it back into your pet’s bowl.
A set of four non-skid inserts are also included (one for the bottom of each leg), and the feeder itself is made from recyclable polypropylene plastic, and is top rack dishwasher safe.
I also found the stainless steel water bowls to be very stylish, which makes them fit in better with any home’s décor.
I am looking forward to having these bowls for our dog as soon as possible, so I don’t have to step in puddles of water anymore!
