This is an interesting product. It captures spill-over kibble and wet food nicely. Water drips as well seem to stay in the well created by the walls of this tray. Provided, of course, the critters eat/drink over the tray! There's the rub; the tray is long and narrow. The beasties like to eat all over, so it is hit or miss if the spillover makes it into the tray or on the floor.
