Buddy Bowl - Spill Proof Dog Water Bowl (44oz Black)

I am so impressed because this bowl totally exceeded my expectations! First off, I live in my van with my two 90+lb pit bulls. I could not find a way to provide a water bowl they did not instantly spill. Since their only area in the van is my bed that was a huge problem. So I had to stop and give them water frequently. I was familiar with the Buddy Bowl from working in the pet industry but had never actually used one myself. I am so glad I chose to give the Buddy Bowl a shot because it works. It really, truly works. It holds plenty of water for my boys. It is as easy to fill as any open bowl. My dogs used it instantly. I filled it and flipped it upside down and over and over. Only a few small drops came out. So, I tossed it on my bed and drove off. As I drove one of my dogs was drinking. When I stopped and got out there was zero water anywhere. I drove over terrible torn up roads, speed bumps, deep dips in the road and sharp turns. Nothing spilled, not a single drop. Nor was there any drooly, dribbles anywhere from either dog. Both had used it at this point. Then later, one of them flipped it over and it was upside down for 25 mins before I stopped again. I picked it up expecting to find at least some spillage. Again nothing. Couple small drops, but I am so ok with that! Seriously, if you travel in an RV, car or are a vanlifer or have a bowl flipping dog BUY THIS BOWL. I bought the 64 oz and it's perfect for my guys. It does help with the dribbling, and it's heavy enough when full to not tip over easily. It's very sturdy, too. Unless your dog chews it up, it will hold up. It is extremely hard to open. But, I imagine that's due to the excellent waterproof seal of the lid. But, that does make it harder to clean. I am just so totally impressed by the quality construction and that it is completely spill proof! I recommend this highly and it has been a miracle for myself and my dogs. Hope this long winded review helps people decide to give it a try.

Excellent bowl, no way you can spill it. A little hard to take apart for cleaning but that’s the price you pay for spill proof. Definitely a good buy.

We have a golden retriever puppy who was "swimming" in the water bowl at 8 to 9 weeks, and NOTHING would stop her, corrections were not working and well she is just very young to retain much although she is learning. In any case, this will SAVE our wood floors and on the other level of the house the tile grout which was getting soaked several times a day when she went swimming in the regular bowl. This one is almost entirely swim -proof. she can easily get her little face in for the water and tried to get a paw in, but realizes it is not going to work for "swimming" ...so far after only a few hours with this bowl, we are very pleased. The other dog is annoyed but started to drink from it right away also although he does not understand why we need this change.The bowl is SUPER sturdy and strong. She is a chewer also and tried to and could not get a grip on this one to do much with it, and that was the end of her trying to chew on it or tip it over, it is a nice heavier weight, with strong construction.Almost took away a star for it being a bit of a challenge to open it up (wanted to wash it first of course) and so that is to be considered but it takes a minute but once you get the hang of how it pops open it is fine. I did want to mention that as if you have issues with hand strength it could be a bit of a challenge but WORTH it to avoid the water mess. This bowl is the real deal, so happy to have found it. Purchased both sizes as the 44 oz is better for the puppy but truly even a big dog could use it.

Love this bowl it’s really well-made and definitely does not let any water come out of it. The only thing that drives me crazy is taking it apart to clean. I found a hooked opener that helps lift the edges since my hands are starting to get arthritis but it’s still a challenge. I also found a container that’s exactly 64 ounces so I know when I’m done filling it and not waiting around for it to balance out really is a good product. Just wish it was easier to take apart

My toddler was the reason I initially ordered this! She loved to dump the dog water onto the kitchen floor and I was tired of cleaning up lake after lake. At first it was too heavy for her to even pick up but she's stronger now and can tip it over. Luckily the bowl works as well as it claims! No spill. No lake. I will say that it doesn't completely prevent your kid from playing in the water though. All it stopped was my kid spilling it. Every now and then I have to redirect her from the water bowl because she like to dip her hands in and then rub her head like she's washing her hair.. Gross to us but to her it's fun! The only thing is that the first couple times you open it, it's tough. It's strong, durable plastic so I had to use a flathead screwdriver to pry it open. That's not the case anymore. It still locks in place when I put the top on but I can now open it with just my hands. Cleaning the bowl is easy. The parts disassemble to the point where you can clean every part and not worry about bacteria clumping up anywhere. My dog and two cats didn't skip a beat and drink from it just fine. I was worried my dogs head would be too wide (she's a pit bull) and she might not like to drink from it but that wasn't the case. I've also noticed that less kibble makes it into the water bowl. All in all I think this product is fantastic! If you have toddlers or even a dog that likes to knock over their bowl I personally find this to be a great solution.
