YOUR DOG OR GRANS WILL LOVE THIS WATER BOWL HACK
If you have dogs, give me a thumbs up. If so, this water bowl hack is for you!
The good news is that a version of this tip works for the weekend you have the grand or hosting a party!
Do you know that feeling when you have your keys in one hand and mail in the other, and you pass by your dog’s water bowl?
And the water level is nearly empty. For a split second, you think there is enough water
. But in less than a second, you shrug your shoulders, put your bag and to-go beverage down, and grab the water bowl. Because look at this face…
After filling the water bowl, you walk back across the kitchen floor or patio as if on a tightrope and hope the water does not wobble and spill onto the floor.
TIP: Don’t look at the water bowl while walking. Look straight ahead as if walking on a balance beam (the tip came from a gymnastics coach years ago).
Here is a dog water bowl hack for your furry friends on those busy days.
I thought of this hack when I bought a plastic beverage dispenser at Kroger for under $8.00. I planned to use it for freshly brewed tea for the summer.
Sidenote: the seasonal aisle at Kroger has great deals after the most recent holiday
But those plans were derailed when I discovered the bargain dispenser was too big for the refrigerator.
WATER BOWL TIPS
Like just about every problem-solving solution, this tip solved a problem.
- fill the beverage container with fresh water on Sunday evenings.
- Remember: this water tip is for the “I am running out the door” manic mornings.
- I just add ice and water.
- Now it’s just a little beverage bar for Elliott.And the best part was that the beverage dispenser included a spigot that fits above his water bowl.
I also hauled out our Igloo cooler and placed it in the garage entry for the days we are outside and Elliott hangs out in the front yard. If you follow me on Instagram, Elliott loves to hang in the car (windows open with supervision).
And if your dogs need a new dog bowl here is a cute elevated dog dish.

Not sure I understand this hack. Have your dogs learned how to get water out of the dispenser to fill there own bowl??? Thanks!
Yes, the owner needs to push the dispense button. I have mine outside in the shade. I add water and ice cubes the morning and no longer spray my patio with water (wasteful in Colorado). I’ll add those details! Thank you! Have a great week!
This is so cute and very clever! Lucky puppies!
