Dog Water bowls. what do you use?

Hello everyone, when i had my last two sheepdogs, i had a muzzled bowl that didnt get his muzzle all wet when he drank water. this was back in the 90s. But i dont have it anymore. What is everyone using these days to keep their muzzle/beard from being soaked??? he gets a drink then tracks water all over my kitchen

thanks!

LOL! I don't know. The kitchen floor always has water on it from wet beard. I'm just grateful when she doesn't wipe her wet beard on me. Drips are fine. Reminds me to mop the floor every so often. Of course the bowl has a large mat underneath but that only helps with splashing and immediate drips. After a particularly cold wet drenching of my leg I consider removing that beard.......but haven't done it.
lol. im thinking about buying one of those no spills with the rim, otherwise i might try to get a water fountain one so he licks it instead of dunking his head in the water. the bottom of the bowl i would put a plastic grate.

otherwise maybe a gerbil water dispenser..lol
similar to this. Image
We use the travel bowls with rims and center tray. They get their moustache and chin a little wet but drip very little. When they get a chance to drink from a normal bowl they stick their face in to the bottom and soak the surrounding area. The pool water has been too cold for them to snorkel much but we still have a towel at the back door.

They think my leg is for them to dry their chin on no matter where they drink!
I'm pretty sure there is no preventing wet beard. We have a regular metal water bowl.
We started with a no-spill waterbowl, but Benson quickly learned how to flip it over. Apparently that's more fun when it's full. :roll:

Now we just use a regular stainless steel bowl, and expect a few drips right after she finishes drinking. She's actually fairly dainty, and if I kept her muzzle clipped shorter, I don't think we'd have much dripping at all.
That is a very cool bowl you posted a pix of. I never saw one like that here - NY. We just use a regular stainless steel bowls then wipe faces dry. But we have a tiled kitchen floor and don't mind the "water face"...It comes with having dogs!
A day without a cold water nuzzle!! 8O No way. We have a stainless and a plastic bowl.

Regardless of drips and full on muzzle splash-bys, I'm pretty sure it is their pay back for those horrible baths :lol:

We have the same ones here - the Road Refresher.
I've had my original one for several years now, works great!
I recomend road refresher bowl too but at the same time you have to watch what's in the garden lol
I use a large metal bowl for the dogs' water. I don't like platic at all.
We use a ceramic crock, and then call Amy over for a mopping up as soon as she is done drinking. There is always the scramble to figure out who has Amy's towel as soon as she starts drinking. :lol:
We have a mixture of drinking vessals-water cans,puddles,a plastic bowl,bird water baths and indoors we use a ceramic bowl but Sprocket has a short beard so not to bad with the drips and he likes to go and stick his head into a corner in the kitchen to "hide" from us drying him so we put a towel there and he self dries!!

Not on topic as to keeping their faces dry, but has anyone used one of the pet water fountains?? I was debating on it, the reviews were saying that some of them get moldy, but my thoughts were, why aren't you cleaning it and changing the water everyday!?

Mine LOVE to drink from the pitcher when I pour water, I thought this might be cool.
