# Hoping for some recommendations from this group. :) We have three…

Hoping for some recommendations from this group. :)

We have three dogs, two of which are big dogs and very sloppy drinkers. Despite having their water bowl on a tray on a rug, they still dribble everywhere.

I’m considering making a “water bowl planter” similar to the pics I’ve added here. I’m hopeful their curiosity about the plants will cause them to linger long enough to dribble there. :P

Many of the examples I’ve found seem to use succulents but I’d like a leafier mix of pet safe plants, ideally mixing up heights, colors, and textures.

Which are your favorites?

(Photo of my sad little water bowl plus examples of “water bowl planters” found online.)

Okay, new water station set up. Fingers crossed it works! So far one out of two big dogs is a fan (though she wouldn’t let me get a pic with her in it).

Beautiful! Love this idea! (Careful on the pothos as they aren’t pet safe)

#### IndyHLC replied on 2024-05-30

Thanks! And yes, I somehow missed that pothos in my searches. Fortunately, they don’t munch on the plants indoors at all and show no interest, but if that ever changes, I’ll swap it out.

You can place a towel under it!

This is so cute! My dog for some reason likes to find me and lick my face each time she drinks water 😆
