One of my favorite pet purchases is our Golden Lab’s large dog water bowl. You probably don’t notice your dog’s bowls very often, unless they are constantly spilling food and water all over the floor. However, not every bowl is same, so there are a few things to consider when looking for the best one for your large breed.
When it comes to dog water bowls, quality and design are very important. I can remember multiple times when I would walk into the kitchen and step into a puddle of water near my dog’s water bowl, only to end up with wet socks. I wouldn’t say it’s entirely his fault though.
I did notice one day he came in from the heat outside, went to go get a drink of water, and his bowl was sliding and skidding all over the place which made things very difficult for him.
He then tried pushing his bowl against one of the cabinets like a back-stop. Unfortunately, the bowl that I had previously purchased was so cheap and light, and due his large size and sheer force, it flipped over spilling water everywhere.
With so many choices currently out on the market, and while specific bowl requirements differ for each size of dog, its best to find one that will prevent spills on your floors, while also looking nice in your home.

When it comes to an automatic style water bowl, I found this Petmate Replendish Waterer with Microban provides a steady flow of water from its tank, which allows for fewer required refills. This makes this water bowl ideal for short periods of time away from home.
It features a Microban antimicrobial protected base which helps to prevent the development odor causing bacteria, while also providing an effective defense against harmful microbes.
By the use of gravity, water is dropped from the tank through a charcoal filter, which helps to eliminate different kinds of bacteria and other pathogens that may be harmful to your pet, giving them a constant supply of clean water.
