The best water bowls for providing your dog or cat with fresh water

You worry about your pet at home when you’re away at the office, particularly if they’re getting enough water on warmer days. A water bowl eliminates any worries by ensuring your fur baby has access to a drink at all times. We’ve researched the best bowls on the market and compiled this list of the top-performing products to help you decide.

Along with a full food bowl, interactive toys, and comfortable bedding, an easy-access water bowl keeps your dog happy. Automatic water dispensers fill up your dog’s water bowl without spilling over. Alternatively, slow water feeders prevent overdrinking without depriving your pet of essential hydration. Lastly, a traditional dog water bowl with no bells and whistles is also an ideal choice, especially if you know how much your dog typically drinks in a day or if you work from home. These may require refills throughout the day, so if you often work overtime, an automatic bowl might be best. Take a look at our handpicked models to see which works for you.

UPSKY Dog Bowl

Best No-Spill Bowl

The UPSKY Dog Bowl is a slow water dispenser featuring a floating disk that’s partially submerged and releases more when your pet drinks from it. Its spill proof lipped edges provide extra security against eager pups and dogs. Non-slip mats on all four corners keep the bowl from sliding around during use. This bowl has a 35-ounce capacity.

PetSafe Gravity Pet Food or Water Station

Best Water Station

The large water station from PetSafe holds up to 320 ounces in the large size. Powered by gravity, the bowl fills up without overflowing from the BPA-free plastic reservoir. Remove the reservoir when it needs a refill and lock it back into place easily to prevent spills. The detachable stainless-steel bowl is machine washable.

AmazonBasics Stainless Steel Dog Bowl

Best Stainless-Steel Bowl

AmazonBasics’ conventional dog bowl is a stainless-steel dish with an all-around rubber base that prevents scratches on your floors and undesirable sliding. This corrosion-resistant bowl prevents odor and stain buildup and can also be used for any type of dog food. The bowl has a 38-ounce capacity.

With an easy-access water bowl for dogs, your pet can stay comfortable even when you’re not around to quench their thirst. Choose an automatic feeder if you’re gone during the day for long periods of time, though a classic stainless-steel bowl holds sufficient daily water intake for the average dog. Additionally, all the products on our list also work as cat water bowls.

Amazon is back with another series of Prime Day offers, but this time the focus is on holiday deals and it's called the Prime Early Access Sale. There are a plethora of brands and sellers offering discounts, and it's a great time to jump on anything you need before the major holiday sales kick off. But listen up pet owners! If any of you have been waiting around for a great deal on a smart vacuum, particularly one that allows you "set it and forget it," well, now's the perfect opportunity! Roborock's S7+ smart robot vacuum with the auto-empty dock is part of the main event, which means it's on sale for an incredible price.

From October 11 to October 15, you can grab the S7+ for 28% off. Normally $950, the price is now $680, which nets you a cool savings of about $270. If you're not familiar with Roborock's excellent smart vacuum, it's both a mop -- with Sonic Mopping Technology -- and a vacuum that can clean for up to 180 minutes per charge. More importantly, it comes with the auto-empty dock that allows the vacuum to continue cleaning, hands-free, for up to 60 days before the dock's dustbin and bag need to be emptied. That's a long time and a lot of personal hours saved right there. Check out the deal yourself below, or keep reading to learn a little more about the S7+ robot vacuum and dock.

Don’t let a lack of time keep you from having a clean home

Admittedly, it's difficult to clean and avoid compromise when you have a beloved pooch or cat wandering around. Having a furry member of the family is fantastic but it does add to your cleaning routine. They're naturally messy, whether it's that time of year where they're shedding fur or they've just rushed through a muddy area outdoors they really shouldn't have, a clean home can be a challenge. The same is true if you have kids, as they also have a penchant for messes. If you skip cleaning one day, you'll have more to clean another day. Moreover, you can only kick that can down the road so much before you're living in filth and squalor.

Fortunately, there's an answer, and a convenient one at that. With the Roborock S7 Max Ultra patrolling your home, there's truly no reason why you need to compromise. It's designed to help you keep your home clean, your pets happy, and your time still your own. It's an incredibly convenient robot vacuum that will save you time and effort not only by keeping the house clean automatically, but also because it leverages several smart features -- like self-cleaning or self-emptying for the dustbin. We're seriously impressed and we're excited to tell you all about it.

No compromise: Saving you time and effort
These days, there's no shortage of robot vacuums. Sure, a cheap and small robot vacuum will help a little when it comes to cleaning up dander and allergens, but you're almost certainly going to spend more time than you'd like cleaning up brushes on the device or simply having to order it around. That's before you even consider how well it cleans. If that cheap vacuum does a poor or ineffective job, well, guess what? You'll still be doing a pass or two around your home with a broom or mop.
