Dog bowl as water dish?
Dog bowl as water dish?
I was at Dollar Tree and looked in the pet section and saw this double plastic dog bowl.It had two sides and was slightly elevated.Do you think this would work as water dishes?I have a 20 high.Would I need to bury it or just make ramps for it?Any other suggestions are appreciated too!

Many have used that before, you just need to ensure they have access to it, both in/out of it...

I agree with AussieJJDude My concern would be the slope of the bowl. Just make sure they can get out of it safely

Re: Dog bowl as water dish?
Do consider also that any water dishes should be as hassle free as possible for water changes... otherwise taking the dish out to clean all the time gets to be a pain.
Something you're unlikely to spill is a plus (that's why I like doubled up tupperware). And consider your lid and decor around thd pool too. If it's flared at the base, I would just place it on the sub & not bury it, for ease of removal.

Thanks!I’lol probably just find some plastic tupperware container to use,I’m currently using circular Tupperware containers but I don’t like the way they fit.I want something that fits together and doesn’t have gaps in between.

I personally like square tupperware containers. Do the double bowls too. Here is LJJ's post about it: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=113691&hilit=double+dish+yo
