No pet parent likes to find puddles around their dog’s water bowl, but your best friend doesn’t know this. Since you can’t explain the situation to your dog, your next best option is to change their drinking setup.
One of the simplest solutions is to place a mat beneath your pet’s food and water bowls to sop up small spills. This is a good solution if your dog tends to slosh water out of the bowl or if they are known for getting a drippy snout after drinking. If your pet has a habit of flipping the water bowl over, consider purchasing a dog bowl that cannot be tipped over, like our no-spill dog bowls.
Other options include putting your water bowl into a holder or buying a water bowl with silicone on the bottom to stop it from sliding across the floor. Finally, some pet parents purchase ceramic water bowls that are heavier—and harder to tip or flip—than plastic or stainless-steel bowls.
