How to Prevent Water Spills with Active Dogs
Dogs are full of energy and curiosity, which often leads to messy water spills around their bowls. While this behavior is common, it can be frustrating for pet owners to constantly clean up after their furry friends. Fortunately, there are effective ways to minimize spills and keep your home clean. Here’s how you can prevent water spills, especially if you have an active dog.
1. Use a Spill-Proof Bowl
A spill-proof bowl, like the PetX™ Zero Splash Water Bowl, is designed to prevent water from splashing out. Its innovative design includes a lip or floating disk that controls the water flow, ensuring your dog can drink without creating a mess.

2. Choose the Right Location
Place your dog’s bowl in a low-traffic area of your home. Avoid spots where the bowl can easily be bumped or where your dog might feel rushed or distracted. A quiet, stable location helps reduce the chances of spills.
3. Opt for Non-Slip Features
Bowls that slide around can lead to even more messes. Choose a bowl with a non-slip base, like the PetX™ AquaGuard No-Spill Dog Water Bowl, which stays firmly in place no matter how enthusiastic your dog is.
4. Adjust the Bowl’s Height
For larger or senior dogs, elevated bowls can make drinking more comfortable and reduce the likelihood of spills. By aligning the bowl with your dog’s natural drinking posture, you can create a more controlled drinking experience.
5. Monitor Your Dog’s Behavior
Some dogs enjoy playing with their water bowls. If this sounds like your dog, consider providing alternative toys to redirect their energy. Puzzle feeders or chew toys can keep them entertained without making a mess.
6. Keep the Water Level Moderate
Avoid overfilling the bowl, as this increases the risk of splashing. Fill it just enough to meet your dog’s hydration needs and refill as necessary throughout the day.
7. Clean the Bowl Regularly
A dirty bowl can encourage your dog to paw or nudge it, leading to spills. Make sure to clean your dog’s bowl daily to maintain hygiene and keep their drinking area inviting.
