It's not glamourous but it works: A boot tray under food and water dishes. It holds all the water, and has a raised outer edge so it also contains any spills.
They also work under wee wee pads wonderfully. Just go to Home Depot or Lowe's or somewhere where you can get a larger size.

What's a boot tray?

Well I've removed the bowl, but it seems like they are not getting enought water from the bottles. I know Brooklyn, when I put him in his playpen, will drink like crazy from his water dish. maybe he just doesn't know how to do the water bottle yet?

Ok - what are the best bottles to buy and how to you guys mount them???

Mine are not caged, they have to be mounted on the wall somehow??? Their food and water are kept in their bedroom.

I "think" its a flat tray with a "lip" around it that you set your wet, dirty boots on to protect your floors???

Yes, that's what it is. It works well under wee wee pads or a messy eater's dishes.

so you probably won't know what a boot tray is, but, it's a rubber tray with an edge around it to keep the snow from boots from getting on floors or rugs when you come in from outside.

I stopped Milo from digging in his water by putting less water in it. Whe he touches the bottom of the dish when trying to "dig", he seems to lose interest.

Of course, if you try this you mist be very careful he does not drink all his water.

LOL Chloe does the same thing, I just put a water mat under her bowls. She also does this to her food
