Alternative options for heavy dog water bowl?

Morning all:) I’m looking at different Bunnings products I could use as an outdoor water bowl for my cheeky puppy:) She has a massive plastic dog bowl for water but likes to ‘dig’ all the water out then run around the backyard ( very proudly!). Was thinking of maybe a concrete type product like something usually used for fountains etc? Would love any idea. TIA

Hi @Narla,

I wonder whether simply elevating the bowl might be sufficient so she can't "play" in it. As an example, @Wayne shared this fantastic and popular project many years ago: Twin dog bowl food and water station.

Hello @Narla

Thanks for sharing your question about alternatives for your dog's water bowl. I suggest having a look at the Ceramic Pet Bowl Range. They come in various designs and can be used for either food or water. The best part of course is that because it is a glazed ceramic bowl, your pet should have a hard time getting a purchase on its surface. I suggest visiting your local store and having a look at the size and styles that will suite your pet.

Another possible option is to glue your pets bowl to a square paver so that they can't lift it off the ground. But this would probably be the last option if you can't find any other alternative.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know,

Thanks Eric:) I’ve seen her somehow manage to pick up our ceramic bowls lol but the paver idea could be good!

Hi @Narla

Please let us know what you decide on, can I also request for a picture of the pup in question so we can see how big they are?

Thanks
