| No mess dinner time What is the best no-mess food bowl?? Allie loves to make a mess with her food bowl, but more importantly her water bowl. What does everyone use?? She won't eat her dry kibble from her bowl. She has to shake the bowl until the kibble falls onto the floor. We find her food bowl on the entire opposite side of the room than it started. So, what do you use?

| I am not entirely sure that I understand the problem... is it just that she shakes/tips the bowl until it all falls out to the floor? I used to have the worst time with that with one of my cats while he was still alive. Eventually I bought one of those raised feed and store bowl sets. I filled the bottom with rice (since I buy it in bulk and its heavy) where you can "store the food" until it was too heavy to move about. At that point he had to actually paw his food/water out onto the floor and he just lost interest. If that's your main issue, you might have some luck with a weighted food bowl or one of those non-slip ones. (I just went with the feed & store because it seemed like a sure thing for us and the height was just right for our kitty.) |

| I have never had this problem, but I use a Petmate Le Bistro water dispenser and some locally-made pottery bowls for their food. I always used the stainless steel bowls with the no-slip bottoms, but they are too small now and besides, the pottery bowls are much prettier. Cash has a white one with white paws and June has a pink one with pink paws. Hehe, they can tell the bowls apart. Like I said, they have never been messy, but they would pick up the bowl if they could. So, since the pottery bowls are quite heavy and hard, they can't pick it up. No mess for us. Good luck with your decision. I think the trick is to find bowls that they can't move, pick up or tip over. My bowls do all of these and I am very happy with them.

| haha count your blessings. BOTH my dogs like to take a few pieces from the bowl and wander through the house or hop on the couch to eat them. They do this until the whole bowl is gone. I find crumb everywhere sometimes. I'm such a clean freak too that I am constantly vaccuming.
