Problems solved by technology

While simple and effective, this arrangement can lead to a problem, which is that if the food is not immediately eaten, it can attract insects.
The tendency of pet food to attract insects is not desirable for the pet owner, and is it not desirable to have a pet ingest insects, which may poisoned from insecticide.
However, a problem is created by food falling from the food bowl into the water basin, and fouling the water in the water basin, which can then attract insects to the fouled water.

Embodiment Construction

[0051]While the specification concludes with claims defining the features of the invention that are regarded as novel, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from a consideration of the following description in conjunction with the drawing figures, in which like reference numerals are carried forward. It is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which can be embodied in various forms.

[0052]The present invention provides a novel and efficient pet food and water bowl system.

[0053]Embodiments of the inventive disclosure provide a pet food bowl that is supported over a water basin such that, when the water basin contain water, the structure that supports the food bowl is surrounded by water, and the water is accessible for the pet to drink. Further, the food bowl is configured to prevent food falling from the bowl into the water basin below. In addition, embodiments of the inventive disclosure provide that the food bow...

Abstract

A pet food and water bowl apparatus includes a first bowl which is configured to contain water for a pet to drink, and the completely surround a support structure on which a second bowl for food in mounted. Surrounding the support structure with water prevent crawling insects from getting to the food in the second bowl. The second bowl is also configured to prevent food from falling into the water in the first bowl through changes in orientation of the second bowl.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to pet food and water stations, and more particularly to a pet food bowl and water apparatus that prevents crawling insects and other pests from being able to get into the pet's food bowl, and which prevents fouling of the water as a result of food falling into the water.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A common feeding arrangement for pets, particularly cats and dogs, is to provide two bowls; one for food and one for water. While simple and effective, this arrangement can lead to a problem, which is that if the food is not immediately eaten, it can attract insects. The tendency of pet food to attract insects is not desirable for the pet owner, and is it not desirable to have a pet ingest insects, which may poisoned from insecticide. As a result, there have been some food and water bowl systems developed that isolate the food bowl using water, where the food bowl is supported over a basin that is configured to be fi...
