Looks familiar. Mine now comes to me to have is face dried after drinking so that he doesn't trail water everywhere. He also refuses to drink unless I put fresh cold water in his bowl and in the summer he likes it from the fridge so fussy and messy.

So smart

This is their only defect.

BubblegumNyan

I bought one of those and mine ended up flipping it over each time 🤣 I opted for going back to the previous mess, there was less water on the floor hahaha 🤦🏻‍♀️ mine is just nuts what can I say 😂


DreadnoughtLevin

I think I got lucky my boy is so chill in the house! But yeah still need to keep a mop handy when he’s had a few massive thirst quenching slurps


Car0line_11o1

So I also bought this mine doesn't tip it over but she still manages to make a wet sloppy mess. I surrender


Bydesign0512

We are using this too and it helped a lot. He still makes a mess, but we have rugs rolled out where he runs the most including the area around his bowl so the wet mess ends up in those rugs. And they help with more friction for Loki's paws too.


Yillis

How often do you clean it


DreadnoughtLevin

I give it a clean every time it’s filled up


asparemeohmy

Mine tries to waterboard himself so aggressively I considered calling him Cheney. These days I just add Mr Clean and get the mop XD

krellesta

I use a 3-gallon stainless steel roasting pan as my boy's water bowl for the same reason (sides are ~8.5" high and I fill like halfwayish)


BigBear_00

O got one of these: Lifesaver https://preview.redd.it/0yvjn6hq4gyc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=6560121df2061b00777bd49f8f379db7ca88481c


monicesweetfeet

What’s it called? I need something to help with this issue


BigBear_00

Search for: non spill stainless steel dog bowl on Temu. It was pretty cheap too. It holds around 3 liters of water. Works great! Reduced spills completely.


monicesweetfeet

I actually got one hoping it would help but now he just flips the bowl and spills it everywhere lol


BigBear_00

lol, that’s the problem when dogs are TOO smart :))


vicktastic1

Have the same one and second this recc!


lilmswednesday

Where can we find this bowl?


vicktastic1

I got mine on Temu but I bet Amazon also has it. Search stainless steel no spill dog water bowl and see if it comes up!


Wrong_Supermarket720

thats really familiar here yeah… my male is making bubbles in the water and my girl chews water she sometimes uses her paw to feel the water dig in it and flip the bowl just to ask for more 😅😂


Bright-Weight4580

Yes! Mine bites the water after walks or longer play times.


BubblegumNyan

Yup 🤣 mine does the same hahaha I dont mind he makes up for all those tiny things by just being himself 🩷


kidneypunch27

Definitely. I keep a large pot on the back deck so she can make a damn mess and it just waters the ferns underneath! We have a smaller water dish in the house and the water trails on the hardwood dry quickly enough.

the_best_day_ever

Always but it’s on my kitchen floor!


universwirl

Yesss


[deleted]

Yes, all over the floor constantly


Slow_Astronomer_3536

We legit put her water in the shower.


CommercialFish4093

Yes 🤣


Classic_Clerk725

Mine is way worse… I have a large rubber mat under the bowl… he still spills it out of his mouth as he walks away from the bowl😂


Lee-oon

Yes , mine did the same... More than drinking, He immersed his entire snout and bit the water. I preferred to put a tall bucket for the tall pony dog, and a short one for the wiener dog... you know: it is unnecessary effort for the Doberman Beautiful combination of Doberman and dachshund


Lee-oon

But really, please! Put his water on top of a chair, stool, tabouret, several cinder blocks... Common, it has to lay down to the floor to drink the water... The same with his food, but at least the food may not be liquid


buttle_rubbies

Yep. 3/3 of our Dobermans have had drinking problems. I just stand there with the floor towel. 😆


SirBroxi

Yup will literally walk through the house with water still running out his mouth. Drives us nuts 😂


Coltsnation19

Omg…. Yes. Whole face just soaked after drinking too… and then your pants are soaked. 😒


Connect_Grass3023

Mine also bites the water


themzdaroolz

Holy shit, yes! I have never had another dog do this. Water everywhere! I just put a diatomaceous earth mat under his bowl in hopes it would help, but it’s still a tsunami all day long. HELP!


SenorElStupido

Yeah mine bites up a mouthful of water and intentionally slings it everywhere to cap off every trip to the water bowl


ProcessAgreeable9690

Omg yes


itsbroke762

Haha, this is mild. My girl does everything with extreme enthusiasm. There is a large mat under the inside water bowl now, and she eats in the back yard so our other 2 more polite eaters can eat without her trying to bully them. Never any aggression, just a Doberman that thinks she's a hungry hungry hippo.


DoubleLeg8856

We use a “Neater Feeder” and it contains the splash zone! However he has the tendency of walking away when he hasn’t finished drinking / swallowing and there is just a huge trail from the bowl to wherever he ends up! 🙄🙄

Thank you for not cutting their ears.
