What do you use under dogs water bowl?

[WonderWomansBoobs]

There's always a puddle under ddogs water bowl and it's really annoying. I know someone with a neater feeder which seems great-but expensive for a large one. Are there any bargain buys that work? Thanks.

I have three hand towels that match my hallway decor that go under the dogs bowls.
They get chucked in the machine each evening before the daily wash goes on.

We use a turtle mat. I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives but it is perfect. It stops it moving around in the floor, and soaks up spillage.

I use a doormat, like the turtle mat ones but a cheaper version as it's just for the dog bowls - works well and I just chuck it in the washing machine once every few weeks.

We use a rubber bone shaped dog mat under 1 and a plastic IKEA tea tray under the other.

Dog’s water bowl just sits directly on the floor. Water only gets spilt if I kick or stand on it.

We have something similar to a turtle mat after we found a huge puddle that's ruined our wooden floor!

DH’s toothbrush. Don’t tell him.

A puppy training pad.

I just use a tea tray under both bowls. Easier to pick up and clean.

I don't bother - my dog takes a huge gulp and walks across the kitchen trailing it as he goes. I'd have to carpet the whole room!

I have a rubber mat but it is pointless because he seems to dribble all the water he gulps right across the room

An old piece of wood but ours have their bowls on stilts

A big slate tile from a garden centre place but not much splashing going on.

A plastic mat - about £2 form bnm does the job.

I have a water dispenser which sits inside a box. All I have to is empty the box when I refill the water. Completely dry floor achieved - if the box wasn't there my two splashy collies would leave it very wet!

I have a Freshmatic fountain, which I stand on a melamine tray.

Pets at Home silicone mat. £5. It’s fab

A tray.

A plastic tray, but the new puppy is a very splashy drinker so there's most of a Daily Telegraph under that.
