Gardner Pet 3.8 L Stainless Steel Dog Water Bowl with Slow-Flow Floating Plate

Gardner Pet Dog Bowls is a 1-gallon (3.85 L) dog water bowl made from 304 stainless steel, with a floating plate designed to slow drinking and help control splashes.

• Floating plate controls water flow — encourages dogs to drink more slowly.
• 304 stainless steel bowl — provides a metal drinking surface for your dog’s water.
• 1-gallon (3.85 L) capacity — holds a large supply of water for large breeds and active drinkers.
• Weighted, non-slip, no-tip base — helps keep the bowl in place when dogs drink actively.
• Detachable bowl and floating plate — lets you separate the parts for cleaning.

Fast, splashy drinking can leave water around a dog’s bowl, while an open water surface can collect dust, hair, and other debris. Gardner Pet’s floating-plate design is made for everyday drinking at home and can also be used in cars, with silicone stoppers that help keep the plate in place when the bowl is moved.

How does the floating plate help while a dog drinks?

The plate limits the exposed water surface and controls how water flows as a dog drinks. This encourages slower drinking and helps reduce splashing and choking. It also helps block dust, hair, and debris from entering the water, supporting cleaner drinking conditions for longer.

• The plate moves with the water as your dog drinks.
• Silicone stoppers around the plate’s edge hold it in place.

Is this bowl suited to large dogs and active drinkers?

Yes. Its 1-gallon (3.85 L) capacity is intended for large breeds and dogs that drink actively, and the weighted base is designed to resist sliding and tipping. That combination helps the bowl stay put as a dog drinks, rather than being pushed across the floor.

• Choose it for dogs that tend to move their water bowl while drinking.
• The floating plate is designed to help contain splashes during use.

How do you clean the bowl and remove the floating plate?

The bowl comes apart so its components can be cleaned separately. If the plate feels firmly held, turn the bowl upside down so the plate tilts; it can then be removed more easily. The silicone stoppers provide a secure hold during use and when moving the bowl, including in a car.

• Separate the bowl and plate for cleaning.
• Turn the bowl upside down to help release a firmly seated plate.

Gardner Pet Dog Bowls suits owners of large breeds and active drinkers who want a high-capacity water bowl with a flow-controlling plate and parts that separate for cleaning. Its 304 stainless steel construction, floating plate, and weighted base bring those features together in one dog water bowl.
