The Food & Water Double Bowl with Dispenser is a dog bowl with a water bottle holder: one bowl for food, one for water, and a universal bottle mouth that lets you attach a water bottle so the water bowl stays topped up. Priced at £7.99, it is a compact, budget-friendly feeding station for small dogs and puppies, ideal for UK owners who want fewer water refills and a tidier mealtime.
It is available in four bright colours and made from non-toxic PP. Here is how it works, who it suits and how to keep it clean.
How a dog bowl with a water bottle holder works
The idea is simple. You fill a standard drinks bottle with water, turn it upside down and fit it into the bottle holder. As your dog drinks from the water bowl, water flows down from the bottle to keep the bowl topped up. It is a smaller-scale version of a gravity water dispenser, built into a double bowl.
The holder has a universal bottle mouth designed to fit most bottles, so you can reuse a bottle you already have.
Key features
Separate bowls for food and water
The food bowl and water bowl are separate, so kibble does not end up soggy in the water and water does not splash into the food.
Universal bottle mouth
The bottle holder is designed to fit most bottles, giving your dog a steady supply of fresh water.
Compact sizing for small dogs
- Food bowl diameter: 9.5cm
- Water bowl diameter: 7.5cm
- Bowl depth: 4cm
- Overall size: 28 x 17 x 6cm
These dimensions make it best suited to small breeds, toy breeds and puppies, whose portions fit easily in a 9.5cm bowl.
Non-toxic PP
The bowl is made from non-toxic PP (polypropylene), a lightweight plastic that is easy to wash.
Four colours
Choose from blue, magenta, red or yellow, all at £7.99.
Which dogs and owners it suits
- Small and toy breeds such as Chihuahuas, Miniature Dachshunds, Yorkshire Terriers and Toy Poodles.
- Puppies of small to medium breeds in their early months.
- Owners who are out for a few hours and want water to stay topped up.
- Small homes that need a compact, all-in-one feeding spot.
- Budget-conscious owners after a practical, low-cost option.
- Crate and pen set-ups, where a single compact unit is easier to fit than two separate bowls.
For medium and large dogs, the bowls will be too small for a full meal. A larger option such as our Gravity Water & Food Dispenser, available in 3.5L and 11L, will suit them better.
How to set it up and use it
- Choose a bottle. A clean plastic drinks bottle is the usual choice. Smaller bottles are easier to handle and encourage more frequent refreshing.
- Fill with fresh, cool water.
- Fit the bottle. Turn it upside down and push it firmly into the bottle mouth so the water bowl fills.
- Place it on a level surface. A stable, flat floor helps water flow evenly and reduces the chance of tipping.
- Add food to the food bowl at mealtimes as usual.
Helpful tips
- Use a mat. Lightweight bowls can slide on smooth floors. A non-slip mat such as our Silicone Food Mat helps keep it steady and catches drips.
- Refresh water daily. Even though the bottle tops up the bowl, change the water at least once a day.
- Watch boisterous puppies. Some young dogs like to paw at or chew bowls. Supervise and remove the bottle if your pup tries to play with it.
- Check your dog is drinking. When introducing any new water set-up, keep an eye on how much your dog drinks. If you notice a big change in thirst, talk to your vet.
Cleaning and care tips
- Wash after meals. Rinse the food bowl after each meal, especially if you feed wet food.
- Clean the water bowl daily. Wash in warm, soapy water and rinse well to prevent slime building up.
- Replace the bottle regularly. Reused drinks bottles are hard to clean inside, so swap the bottle for a fresh one often.
- Dry before refilling the food bowl, so kibble stays crisp.
- Replace if damaged. Scratched or chewed plastic is harder to keep clean, so replace the bowl if it gets damaged.
