Geordie, our German Shepherd/Golden Retriever has always been a messy eater, but when we got a new puppy, he got so much messier. He eats as fast as he can so he can try to get Jasper’s food, too. Food and water ended up not just on the floor, but on the walls, too.
And the Roomba crashes into it spilling more water than the dogs do.
I won’t list the things I tried that didn’t help much, because I found a solution. I found a dog dish that makes WAY less mess. And yes, if you order it through these links, I make a commission from Amazon.
Neater Feeders
Keep your floors and walls clean from spilled water and food with our signature elevated feeder available for both dogs and cats!
The Express has a lower splash guard.
There are two versions, Express and Deluxe. Deluxe has higher sides, so that’s what we got.
Express
Just click through to find the right size and the color you like.
Deluxe
The Deluxe Neater Feeder comes in more colors.
The splashes drain through the holes into the bottom to keep the floor dry.
It just works. The sides and back keep the water and food from splashing on the walls and floor.
Spilled kibbles stay on the feeder instead of the floor.
The splashes drain through the holes into the bottom to keep the floor dry.
The water drains into the bottom. And it can go into the dishwasher.
I load all four bowls into the bottom, but the tops upside-down over them and both of the bases upside-down on the top rack.
I put them upside-down because they get cleaner that way.
The Best-Selling Mess-Proof Pet Bowls
Both the Express and Deluxe protect your home from messy eaters. The difference is the Deluxe offers extra protection and customization.
Spilled water will flow down a gentle slope at the front of the feeder, through a filtering system that removes any pieces of food, and into the bottom reservoir.
The bottom holds a LOT of water.
Neater Feeder Sizes
They come in four sizes. The cat size and the small dog size seem to be the same size, but the bowls are smaller for the cats.
We bought two of the medium size ones, one for each dog.

Accessories
They make two slow feeder bowl variations, the Niner and a Stainless Steel Slow Feed Bowl.
Non-toxic Food-safe, BPA-free Plastic
Gentle on Teeth and Gums
The Niner Slow Feed Bowl has nine peaks to slow down eating.
The raised peaks on The Niner create small pockets of food that slow down your dog’s eating. Eating at a slower pace reduces bloat, vomiting, choking, and indigestion. Slowing down rapid eating also helps to prevent obesity.
We designed The Niner to be comfortable for all dogs, even those with flat faces like Bulldogs or Pugs. The rounded peaks are gentle on teeth and gums and ensure that your pet has a comfortable eating experience.
You can also buy leg extensions to make the feeder taller.
