Neater Feeder Dog Bowl, Product Overview
Neater feeder dog bowls are for any dog that is VERY MESSY when they EAT or DRINK.
You Get: Two stainless steel bowls that drop into a base, with a lower reservoir to catch water spills. A splash guard prevents any food or water from spilling out onto your floor. Spilled food remains contained within the unit, but separated from spilled water, which flows beneath the unit into the reservoir.
This means your messy dog won’t leave behind an array of food and water spills for you to clean up off your floor.
Pros:
- Product is strong and sturdy to withstand being bumped and pushed around from larger breeds
- Hardwood floors won’t get damaged by water; walls won’t get splashed; tile grout won’t get stained
- No more slipping on wet floors, or stepping in water with bare feet or socks
- Has non-skid feet so your dog can’t push the bowls across the floor
- Is dishwasher safe, or very easy to wipe clean by hand if you prefer
- Comes in 3 sizes making it suitable for any size dog from small to large
- Separates spilled food from spilled water
- Messes stay contained within the unit, saving you the hassle of cleanup after your dog’s meal and drink times
Cons:
- There are some pretty stylish looking dog bowls on the market these days, this isn’t one of them. Although they look decent enough, some may think they are a bit bulky looking.
- Most likely won’t solve the problem of a dog who likes to remove his food from his bowl, place it on the floor first, and then eat.
- May not be full proof for a dog with huge jowls that seem to fill with water and drip everywhere. It should work fine while the dog’s head is above the bowl, and I do think the splash guard may help to keep the dog’s head more still while drinking, but there’s nothing to prevent dripping jowls once your dog walks away.
So, Are These Bowls Worth The Money?
Despite the fact that these bowls didn’t work for my purposes (I’ll explain), I would highly recommend them. My foster dog (who is my messy eater) is one of those dogs that likes to remove his food from his bowl, drop it on the floor, and only then will he proceed to eat it. Despite the great design of these bowls, this is one issue that they will not resolve.
However, if you just have a plain old messy dog that drinks sloppily, or sticks his face into his bowls and sends his kibble flying, then these bowls are pretty great! After filling the bowls with food and water, I did some of my own testing by kicking the bowls around a bit to see how much it could withstand before the the bowls contents would bypass the splash guard and end up on the floor. Turns out it can withstand quite a bit before losing it’s contents. So, for this, along with the “pros” listed above, I have to say I was impressed.
For most messy eaters and drinkers the Neater Feeder bowls offer a true solution to a pretty big problem.

Very neat and tidy review, love it.
I haven´t actually seen anything like these bowls at shops in Estonia. Definitely need to buy one of these things. My dog is very sloppy eater, but she ain´t one of these dogs who likes to remove her food from the bowl so this dog bowl should work just fine.
Hi Cevin,
Yes, if your dog is sloppy this bowl should do the trick for you! Thanks for leaving a comment.
Typical, I stumble across you article 3 weeks too late, lol. I like this product, as its so simple and easy and I wish I invented it as I would be rich.
I have a question though and its a bit random, how easy would it be for my dogs (2 x Alsation) to get their heads in to use them, would I need 2 bowls of could they share?
Hi Dave,
Lol, yep, I wish I had invented this product too since there are an awful lot of messy dogs out there! The large size bowls would be the correct size for your Alsations. But, I would definitely not have them share as I can’t imagine they could both fit their heads in there at the same time. 🙂 Even if they normally share bowls, having separate ones could make your life easier in monitoring their food intake. This could be helpful for things like making sure each dog is getting enough food, or noticing any illnesses should one dog stop eating.
Thanks so much for your comment!
I have two dogs and both of them are messy eaters…mostly my male dog. It gets on my darn nerves.
It’s great that they separate the food from the water. I need this for them.
The video is a great touch. Thanks for providing it so I can see how it works verses what’s currently not working.
My male dog does like to pick his food up and take it to my room so it won’t work for the food. It will work, however, for the water because he splashes it everywhere. I have slipped and fell before.
Thanks for this great review of something so many of us dog owners can make use of.
Hi Rawl,
Yes, it amazes me how messy some dogs can be when they eat and drink, if you didn’t know any better you would almost swear it’s on purpose sometimes, lol. These bowls are such a great fix, I was excited when I discovered them!
Hi Carol, what an interesting and eye catching website. As a dog lover myself I really liked the content of your website. Very informative and one really gets the impression you know what you talk about and have experience in the topics you are covering.
What type of dog is the best for an active physical type of man?
Thank you for the compliment! When I think of high energy breeds for people on-the-go, the first one that comes to mind is the Border Collie. They are so full of energy to the point that many end up in shelters because people have trouble fulfilling their exercise requirements and then declare them as too hyper. But for people that can handle that they are wonderful, and extremely smart too! Some other energetic breeds that come to mind are the Jack Russell Terrier, Labrador Retriever, Boxers (I grew up with 3 of these and they are lovely), Pointer, Weimaraner, Airedale Terrier and dalmation.
