20 Best Water Bowls For Dogs (2023 Updated)

Just bought one for my new puppy, a border collie. I bought my first Yeti bowl 2 years ago. At the time my border collie puppy was 6 mos old and kept flipping his food bowl over; any and every bowl. So PC Richard started carrying this $50 dogfood bowl which I first thought was a little much.

But hey if it doesn’t flip over, then to me it’s worth it. So we used it for a week and although he tried, the bowl did not flip over due to how it is weighted. Then being a border collie he figured something out.

he kept nudging it with his snout and inch by inch moved it into an inside corner of the walls. Once in the corner he got leverage to slightly lift the edge of the bowl off the floor, and after some tries he figured how to push it up and get his nose under more of it.

until he was able to flip it up against the wall and then paw at it and nudge it upside down finally. I swear he turned around and grinned at me for his accomplishment. He never did it again, he just wanted me to know that as the smartest dog, a border collie, he could.

Purchased this because I?m notorious for kicking the collapsible bowl over when we?re camping. This bowl is sturdier and more durable. It?s weighted at the bottom with a grippy pad so it doesn?t get knocked over easily.

Bonus: its dishwasher safe. My pup is probably the max size for the 4 cup bowl, he?s a 30 pound heeler and it fits him just right for his 1. 5 cup scoop of food. I do have to refill the water several times a day so we probably could have gone with the 8 cup, but he?s really good at getting sticks and mud in his bowl when we?re camping so what we have works for us.

If you?re dog is bigger than 30lbs would recommend getting the bigger bowl, especially if you plan on using it daily. We?ll keep the collapsible bowl for backpacking but this is now our go-to for picnics, car camping, play dates, and doggy park days.

We’ve had these YETI Boomer 4 Dog Bowls for over a month, and our girls are happy. We purchased 4 of these bowls and placed them at various areas in our home, with one outdoors. Our 4 Australian Shepherd girls have never drank so much, and that’s a good thing.

The size is ideal for keeping it freshly filled. The water stays cool which entices them to lap it up. Good thing we have a doggie door with access to the great outdoors because with all that drinking those girls have got to go! Thanks YETI for creating an ideal dog bowl.

Our girls are wiggle butt happy!.

I ordered 2 of these for dog food bowls. I feed my dogs twice a day and these work perfectly. I have the larger size I use as a water bowl. They were exactly what I was looking for. They do slide on my hard wood floor but I knew that before I bought them and am going to buy a mat to use under them during feeding time.

Another great product. Thank you Waggo and Chewy.

The large dish is stated to be an “8-cup” capacity bowl. It is only a 6-cup capacity bowl. That makes a difference to me as I need for my dogs to have adequate water at their disposal, when I’m not home, during the summer months.

Even if you filled the dish to the brim it doesn’t come near 8 cups. This is the first time I’ve ordered from Chewy and am disappointed that the description is not the truth.

I’ve been looking for a good ceramic/stoneware water bowl for my 3 cats for months! Always ended up with 2 cup, or 6 cup bowls which were always good enough for a gerbil, or a small puppy. Finally found the perfect 4 cup heavy duty ceramic water bowl at the correct size.

This keeps the water cold for long periods of time and they can’t move it, or tip it over. Top quality and worth every penny!.

So, there are complaints of the sticker being on the bottom of the inside of the bowl. all you need to get it off is a little rubbing alcohol. I personally have alcohol pads at home. (like what a Nurse uses to wipe your arm before drawing blood or inserting a catheter) You can also use adhesive remover wipes, or a product like Goo Be Gone.

Just make sure to thoroughly clean the bowl with hot soapy water after removing the sticker with any of these products. The bowls are dishwasher safe. Occasionally the black skid resistant ring will pop off the bottom in the dishwasher but it literally just can be put back on, it doesn’t lose it’s shape.

For the price, these bowls are great. I use them for me cats that really like to “push” bowls while eating and these stay put. I hope this review helps!.

I just received two Merlot-colored Bella stainless bowls. I’d read several reviews complaining about the adhesive sticker inside the bowls being difficult to remove. So, I was ready with a detergent soak, followed by “Goo-Be-Gone” adhesive remover and rubbing alcohol.

The stickers inside my bowls easily peeled right off, and didn’t leave any paper or adhesive behind! No adhesive remover or alcohol was required. I just peeled them off and then washed the bowls before using them the first time.

‘Kinda light weight stainless, but I hope the dogs like ’em and that they hold up. (Of course, a few days after I ordered mine, they went on sale!) Grrrrrrr!.

This bowl is really nice and would have worked perfectly for my cats. The major problem is the label inside and on the bottom of the bowl has been nearly impossible to remove. For the last several days the bowl has hot water sit in it, hot water with Dawn, hot water with simple green and now using Platinum powerwash dish spray and it has been sitting for over an hour.

This is producing minimal results, but it is taking scraping the label with a spoon to get the label to move which is scratching the bowl. I can not for the life of me come up with any reason to place such a label that requires this kind of thing to get it off of the bowl.

I am about to give up and get a refund. If other bowls are like this, I definitely do not recommend purchasing one.

Works well, has a few issues but nothing really bad. The bowl holds water good and doesn’t splash around even in a off road trail. The lid has a large o ring that seals up tight, sometimes to tight by that I mean it cant get air in tank to let the water rise into drinking area.

So sometimes you have to burp it to get water in bowl, could use a air inlet to correct that. I like the probability of it. The blue lid broke a piece out of it, just the edge, so now I have a air inlet for.

this one. Seems to still work fine maybe even better but will leak if tilted, where it doesn’t leak with normal seal ring. I like it over all and purchased a second one.

I purchased these as a replacement, my previous one wore out after three years. I take my dogs with me to work every day and they use the truck as a doghouse. I can refill the water and go for hours, they can drink as they please.

I leave a blanket underneath to catch any dribbling and wiping off dirty dogs paws, I use the water for my cleanup also. When I travel I can just standup the container and it doesn’t spill or drip.

Bought to put in back of SUV to go from NJ to MD. put in corner of hatchback area with JRTweenie and Boston Terrier. By the time we arrived, water had sloshed all over, blankets were soaked and dogs could not get water that was left due to the way product is designed.

I have a mini schnauzer and a blind young cat. My cat is very tactile and LOVE to flip, push, spill water bowls so that there’s water everywhere in the kitchen (not fun). I have bought so many bowls over the years that were extra heavy/spill proof, but I swear, they only made him stronger! I had resorted to putting Gorilla tape on my latest bowl, but with my OCD cleaning habits, it was too much to pull it up and retape.

Fast forward to googling bowls and finding this one! My dog drinks out of it easily (he is usually scared of metal bowls), and my cat CANNOT move this one at all. Not only is it really heavy when it has water in it, but that magic Smart Grip at the bottom is really a life (and floor) saver.

I have really large semi-matte tiles, so I was worried it wouldn’t grip, but so far, so good! I’m so grateful!.

Our boxer puppy is a crazy, rowdy girl who was always running into her bowl and spilling water everywhere or carrying her bowl around (empty or full). These are a lifesaver and save me so much time cleaning.

I love the lid they come with because I can fix her breakfast the night before, cover it and not worry about any Florida critters getting in it. It’s great for travel too. Do not hesitate to buy these.

Oh and I forgot to mention how this bowl keeps water cool for hours. I can put ice in the water and it’s still there 2 hours later.

I have an almost 13 year old Golden Retriever who now recently likes to tip his water bowl whenever we leave without him. At first we were like “oh Mosley it’s oh buddy†and now after the 50+ Time we’re done with cleaning it up.

It’s warped our hardwood floors to the point we’ll have to replace them. We purchased these bowls to fix the problem however with the warped wood, they don’t completely “sealâ€. Not the company’s problem at all.

So what we’ve done we’ve elevated the feeding platform with a simple platform of stained wood and placed a piece of marble leftover from our countertops. They completely stick and do as they advertise.

1- it’s helped us not have to clean up water anymore. 2- it’s elevated the feeding platform for our older dog. Thanks Toadfish for helping us and our dogs sanity.

I purchased the deluxe neater feeder with the leg extensions that raise the height of the dishes so he doesn’t have to lean down to the floor to get his food and water. This is best for any larger dog to prevent neck strain or digestive problems.

I got the neater feeder in February 2022. My dog is an 86 lb Silver Labrador Retriever. It’s a little expensive but worth the money for the benefit to my dog. It was advertised as coming with an additional set of metal bowls.

But I didn’t receive the extra bowls. So I emailed neater feeder customer service. They responded immediately to my email saying that they were sorry about the omission and that the bowls would be shipped to me as soon as possible.

Within 3 or 4 days I received the additional set of metal bowls. I highly recommend the neater feeder to caring dog owners and commend the company for outstanding customer care and responsiveness.

I purchased the medium size based on reviews saying that’s perfect for a staffy and some saying the bowls are bigger than expected. I have a bull terrier and she definitely would have been better off with the large size.

That’s the reason for the 4 stars. But otherwise great product.

My old stainless steel bowls had become pretty yucky over time. I feel that elevated bowls are better for the dog. At first I bought the 3 cup bowls, but for all the mixing of her food and meds, I felt they were not big enough, and donated them to a rescue.

I bought the 6 cup bowls, and they are just right. Gracie approaches the bowls a little hesitantly, but has no problem eating from it, and the nice thing is that the bowls don’t move. Much less messy.

The bowls appear to be coated with something that makes them easier to clean. That worries me a little, that there may be some kind of coating on them. They seem to be “stick free. ” Nothing peels off, though.

I bought a pair of the smaller sized bowls to attach to my lab-pup’s crate for eating and drinking. We have two older labs who are able to eat together without bothering each other, but by using this brace and bowl, the pup can eat in her crate safely and rest afterwards, not bothering or “investigating” her older siblings’ food bowls.

The bowl is sturdy, frame attaches easily, and the unit withstands the vigorous eating and drinking! I find the bowl size perfect for her 1. 5-cup meal, but larger dogs would probably use the larger bowls.

Even the smaller size, though, bowl is large enough to hold plenty of water without providing her with a “pool” to splash around in. The bowl frame can attach pretty much anywhere you want on the cage-style crate.

Placement of bowl into brace DOES require two firm hands, so installed the brace for easier access inside the door at the one end, but pup enters from the wider side. (Our crate has two doors). Bowl is out of the way but within easy access to the door (and is more easily removed than inserted).

The bowls are easy to clean. The price, solid construction, ease of install and use make this purchase absolutely worthwhile.

A LOT of reviews have complaints, rightfully so, if you’re unhappy. then voice it! (just an FYI Customer Service here with Chewy treats you and your furbabies like family, heck better than some family haha, truth though.

I had an issue with a training collar I ordered for my rottie pup, they were not only prompt, they went above and beyond, and I can’t praise them enough, jussayin!) Anyway though. this will be lengthy, I’m sorry?! :/ –>Hopefully my review can help a few people out!!<-- ×Labels sticking, soak with some Dawn detergent (or whatever you use) over night, it'll come off no problem.

I won’t let mine eat/drink where that nasty glue lingers either, so completely understand those concerns, too! ×These bowls don’t budge once they’re snapped in (it’s part of what I love). However, yes, cleaning daily can be a challenge.

I scoured the reviews, on the one lady posted a short video with where you slowly turn the dish from the outside (as in, rotate it in slow increments towards the inside of cage) After a few turns it comes loose fairly easy.

I usually just grab a clean dish rag or papertowel to suck some of the water up first (my personal preference, my husband has better luck with it, my carpal tunnel doesn’t like it) ha. And then clean and turn it back it in, snaps in no problem at all.

I just personally fill it once it’s back in securely. Oh my first go round with this dish, was like “am I seriously being defeated by an animal dish? Seriously?!” But I had to mess around with it for a while before I was even going to admit to hubby that I was starting to feel out smarted by a water dish (that’s what I had gotten it for just like many others, after reading reviews).

I’m like I’ve got a Nursing degree and an IT degree, my husband’s a veteran who’s got an Electrical Engineering degree, and his Bachelors in IT. com’mon, a water dish is beating us here?! Well he messed with it a while and we kinda just found what works for us.

Oh trust me, I’ve had my fair share (as in MANY, like the pup could have probably done a better herself the first time around,haha!) But yes, many sloppy, cage scrubbing, cursing mad, messes. -. – It just simply took learning a way that worked for me to do it myself.

And a few quarters in the curse jar, of course. Ha. Trial and error, but to me, the fact they don’t budge, and I’ve had one for quite a while now, even with daily use and other 2 animals who need to check it out just to be rubbing on it, zero issues.

That’s why I actually just ordered another one. I wish I could find some things with staying power like that for around the house, the dumb random things that bust WAY too easily. We have 3 different sized cages, and it worked flawlessly (secured onto with no problems wherever we tried it out at, cage door, small area on either side of door, and the huge kennel has the end & middle gates, again, no problem, but plenty of real estate to work with there) littlest cage, no problem either.

I used to use the ones a long time ago (like 15 plus years ago) for other dogs that reminded me of rabbit water bottles, held on by a wire that clipped on the cage. Where they lick the metal stem, move the ball and slowly drink.

Any time I’ve had those they leaked or the pups I had where cleaver enough to just make an absolute mess out of it. That’s honestly what I started looking at this time around, or the nozzles you hook a H20 bottle onto and mount to the cage.

I can’t speak for anyone else’s pup, but mine is WAY too smart not to take that as an absolute challenge to defeat and destroy it. Ha. Even with her “Super Chewer” box subscription, we’ve had a toy a two that pupzilla made it look like it was some fluffy little cat toy and obliterated it in under an hour.

She gets an hour play time, toy gets checked over, sharp edges ect. then swapped to another, rinse and repeat. It’s just what we’ve gotta do with her. The ONLY thing she can’t turn back into star dust ^,^ is the marrow (or flavor stuffed) shin bones.

She’s only had one so far, her favorite that she’s beat up pretty good, and in the garbage it went. But she doesn’t mind with the new one she just got. I’ll put pb in it for her sometimes once they’re empty.

But anyway, these bowls, yes, it’s a love /hate until you find what works for you with it! Just like with any fur baby, they’re all different in their own way, these bowls, in my honest opinion, ARE definitely worth trying.

And there’s always reviews in the various sizes of the bowls I believe, that might offer different ideas for them as well, or the manufacturer themselves!! (: Best of luck! I know I’ll keep coming back to these myself for my brood of animals (: Sorry for the incredibly long review, if you stuck it out and read it, or even skimmed it, thank you!! I’m just trying to help!! (NO I don’t get any of these things for free, I pay for my (initial) aggravation, thank you! ;).

The stickers are definitely a pain. Not sure why any company still uses adhesive like this when there are better, more easily removed options. This is what I did. I soaked the bowls in hot soapy water for a while, maybe a half hour.

Then, I peeled off as much of the sticker as I could with my hands. Next, I would have used acetone (nail polish remover) which would have made this job even easier, but had none on hand, so I used denatured alcohol to dissolve 99.

9% of the remaining adhesive. You can also use isopropyl alcohol, but it will require more elbow grease. After I had removed as much of the adhesive as I could, I scrubbed the inside and the outside of the bowls with Bar Keepers Friend cleanser until I could feel no more glue.

Bon Ami would work well here, too. After that I washed them in dishwashing soap. That’s it. I love the bowls. They are very nice quality. It’s a bit hard to get the bowl in and out of the bracket, but practice! Fill water bowl *after* insertion! Enjoy!.

I’ve had this bowl for about two months, and I use it all the time. The included carabiner is perfect for this, because I can clip the bowl to my CamelBak. Now, no matter what, if I have water, my pup has water.

I can’t forget her bowl, even if I don’t remember to grab it. The depth is great too. I have a big dog, and this bowl holds more water than she and her brother can drink at once. It’s also very sturdy once deployed.

It doesn’t tip over, doesn’t rock, and doesn’t collapse on its own while they’re drinking. Lastly, the fact that it is silicone and dishwasher safe makes removes all debate about whether to buy one. Just get it.

I loved this bowl. Have had it for a few years now using it for 3 out of 4 seasons. My two shepherd mixes will not drink from pocket pouch bowls and want their bowl to have depth. I need something collapsible to easily pack while hiking/walking.

This bowl fit the bill perfectly until this year. Like another reviewer, the seams are splitting rendering the bowl useless. I’m bummed.

I bought one of these for an extra bowl when we upped our Golden game to three puppers. When the RTIC bowl was the only one being emptied I quickly realized that it was just liked by the dogs better.

That is all I needed to get another as soon as they were back in stock. The dogs like them. And they look pretty cool.

All the dogs have their own food bowl and we have one for water. They don’t slide all over the floor or get tipped over. And in the summer we put ice in them when the dogs are outside for a cold treat.

We’re very happy with these bowls.

This bowl is awesome. A smaller size would be a great idea. My dachshund is using the big one now, little smaller would be cool. Otherwise works great for my lab. Buy it!!

We had to put our dog down the day after we had these dishes delivered. However, we had two before we ordered these, his old ones were beginning to crack, but they were plastic and these are not. They really are splash proof, and I would still highly recommend them.

I cant go thru another death of a pet, so there wont be anymore in this house. Anybody need 3 brand new splash proof water dishes? Or 2 used ones? We always kept one in the house and one in the camper, so we ordered 3 so wed have 2 new ones to use and 1 for a back up.

We love these water dishes, they REALLY ARE spill proof!.

I have 3 little dogs that I kennel in a huge soft sided kennel in my living room when I’m not home, but they always spill the water over and it gets EVERYTHING wet. I’ve been looking forever for a better solution to my water bowl dilemma and I have found my saving grace in this bowl! It truly is a no spill water bowl! I was little nervous cause it seemed light, but it works and works amazing! I bought 2 bowls one for the kennel and one as their every day bowl for the house.

It’s the perfect size for 3 smalls dogs and would be great for a medium sized dog as well. I wouldn’t recommend it for a large breed, my brother’s mastiff had a little bit of a hard time drinking from it.

My other brother’s labrador didn’t have any trouble though and as I said my 3 small dogs( 10-14lbs. ) Had no trouble either. I don’t even accidentally spill the water bowl anymore either! No more wet socks for me and no more water mess to clean up after I get home.

A potty pad under a water bowl only does so much, but this bowl truly is no spill! The bowls also arrived on time, which is always great too!.

My no spill bowls work great! The lids seal very well. The water stays in the bowl and is easy for my dogs to get a drink. I have one in my van for road trips and one in my jeep for when we’re exploring back roads.

On one trip, one of my dogs stepped on the edge of the bowl and flipped it upside down, even when that happened very little water splashed out on the floor. I am very happy with my no spill bowls.

My dogs will not drink out of this. I’ve had this teal Platinum Pets bowl for maybe six months, and we’ve used it as an outdoor water bowl, but the water is never gone from this bowl (they have two).

I’ve been wondering if it has something to do with the intense color?, the bowl they continually use is regular stainless steel. This powder-coated bowl has also begun to rust, and the regular stainless (which we also got from Target maybe five years ago) has not.

I purchased this bowl for a petite cat. It only holds about 3/4 cup, so exactly as advertised. I didn’t want a larger bowl, as it’s not shared and the one cat is it’s only user. The color has more red tone than the picture, and is very bright and fun! My favorite feature is that canned food does not stick or build up inside this bowl! It looks beautiful within minutes of a feeding.

It is very lightweight, so might not work for a rambunctious pet. It’s perfect for my little princess!.

Nice enough product, but not happy about sticker inside of bowl, so would not recommend it on that. Hard to get off and residue still there after weeks of use and washing. I purchased because its American made and looking to not have toxins or residue inside of bowl.

Bowls are also much larger than appear in pic, wish I would of gotten smaller size. I understand the “no stick wont fall over”, but photos are deceiving, wish I would of bought smaller. ( I have a small blind dog who falls over it) Otherwise seems nice and color is very pretty.

Great bowl for a great price. I had the powder coated bowl. After 2 years of consistent extreme temperature changes, sometimes -20 to 75 degrees I saw the inside of the bowl’s paint started to bubble and peel.

If you’re going to use it in a patrol car where the temperature is going from cold to hot and hot to cold (in the summer) I would recommend the plain aluminum. I just reordered the aluminum and plan on fixing the powder coated bowl since there is nothing wrong with it other then the powder coating starting to peel.

It is made well and has served me well. Always stayed in place and never spilled.

We love the spill proof water bowl. The only thing we would change is the attachment to our crate is too small. The bars on our crate are too big and prevent us from being able to attach the water bowl.

However we love that the water does not spill out when he tips it over so he never is without water. Great online shopping site, and fast shipping.

We needed a new bowl after our pup destroyed our girl’s one. I’d looked at bamboo ones before elsewhere but the reviews were very mixed. I loved the colour of this one and the shape, so decided to take a risk and go for it.

We’ve had it several weeks now. So glad I bought it; its the perfect size for my girl – she’s a collie cross. It cleans up beautifully every wash and is fine in our dishwasher too. It has been dropped but no cracks or breaks at all.

The only very slight negative is that one of the rubber grips keeps coming out underneath but her bowl is placed on an old bit of carpet so it doesn’t matter. In any case, there are 3 other rubber grips.

These bowls have been a life saver, for me AND my dogs! We’ve been having issues regarding mealtimes and changing to these bowls has put everything back on an even keel again! Relief all round. Very grateful and they look good and will last a very long time.

Very happy household here.

I love Beco Pet Natural toys, except those two Beco bowls. CON: – Beco bowls move without slippary-proof rubbers, hit black metal crate, & got a black scratch marks that made them look dirty. I had to scrub to remove black mark.

Need little improvement on slippery issue. PRO: -toxic-free -biodegradable.

I read some of the reviews from people who didn’t think this bowl worked to slow down eating. I decided to try it anyway and I’m glad I did. The bowl is working and my dog is being forced to eat slower.

This was a huge concern for me because my dog is a German Shepherd and this breed is well known to suffer from bloat. Gulping and eating too fast increases the risk of bloat. This bowl is good quality, it does not slide around due to the rubber rim and it definitely stops the gulping! I am very happy with it.

We bought this set of dog bowls for our brand new puppy. I loved the non-slip at the bottom of the bowl. It EASILY comes off. My puppy took it right off and ate the entire thing. We ended up in the ER and worried sick.

You would think that since this is made for dogs, it wouldn’t be easy for a 22 inch rubber slip to come right off. STAY AWAY!.

This bowl is made of good material, is reasonably priced and does stay put on the floor. We have a 2 year old GSP and this bowl did not help her eating habits- but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad product.

I would give it as a gift anytime.

I really like the bowls I received, but they are NOT the bowls pictured; different color/material at the base, and even a different sticker inside the bowl. The bowls pictured have a gold tone metal base, or appear to have a metal base; I guess it could be rubber.

The bowls I received are a good quality stainless steel bowl with removable BLACK rubber at the base. The rubber ring is VERY easy to remove and put back on, which is nice for cleaning, and I guess the rubber will keep the bowl in place, so it’s all fine with me.

I want to loudly applaud this company for using a good quality glue on it’s stickers!!!! The stickers came right off leaving nothing behind. Such a nice surprise compared to most stickers even on expensive brands.

32 oz for Large Dogs. Great Quality. The bottom springs with pressure, could pop up hard food. I tried splitting pills with a knife and they’d pop off and disappear. (Bought a pill splitter;). Comes out of the dishwasher looking new.

The bowl itself is nice, but when it arrived the non-skid ring had fallen off. I reattached it, but then it came off again. And again, and again. I finally super glued it and it stayed on, but that’s more work than I anticipated.

It took about 8 days to receive these bowls, but so worth the wait. As most know, plastic harbours bacteria, even though I was using stainless steel bowls, my gobbler dogs were having to use plastic slow feeder inserts.

After 2 feedings a day for a few years, the plastic was starting to feel really gross. That’s when you realize ” this can’t be good for my furbaby with plastic leeching into their food” So I started looking for either stainless slowfeeder or ceramic bowls.

And I found these. Now I’m just hoping my clumsy self doesn’t drop them when my gobblers are jumping on me to get to the food.

I bought this bowl because the other elevated bowl we had broke. I used that as a chance to get a slow feeder bowl since my cat eats her food super fast. She’s doesn’t throw up a lot but it happens every once in awhile so I wanted to slow her down.

This bowl looks really cool and muted and my cat definitely spends longer trying to eat but she also is sticking her paws in the bowl to get out the food. It’s slowing her down but making a huge mess.

Also she doesn’t even end up getting all the food out. I’ll give it time to see if she gets better at eating out of it but right now it seems like the bowl is too deep.

This food is amazing! I wouldn’t buy my cats anything else. All food no fillers, made so it doesn’t lose its nutrients, helps with utis and diabetes, and protein that keep my cats fueled throughout the day which makes them eat less than previous brands.

Plus it’s made in Italy and they have more stipulations on their pet food than the usda has on our human food, so my cats eat better than I do.
