where are your indoor pet's bowls

[Bensmom]

Quick before the Hive shuts down....

 

Where oh where do you keep your pet's food and water dish?

 

poll to follow (I think) ...

[sassenach]

Dogs: One's is in the kitchen, the other's is in his crate.

[eternalknot]

I voted for utility room.

 

Cats in the mudroom, dogs in the laundry room. Cat food stinks more, so it goes closer to the outside and trash cans. Dogs are messier, so their bowls go nearer the utility sink and linen hamper (washed daily).

[Murphy101]

Between the sink and toilet in the 1/2 bath off the laundry room.

[SeekingSimplicity]

In the kitchen. If I had a utility room, I'd put it in there

[Chris in VA]

Cat's is by the bathroom near the front door entry (we take it up when folks come over because I don't want Kitty Delight bombarding their nostrils as the first scent they come across in our house...).

 

Dog's is in the kitchen, the only room w/o wood floors (except bathrooms, which are teeny).

[beaners]

Other: bathroom

 

We keep food and water for the cats in the master bathroom. The dogs eat and drink outside, but they are housepets.

[freesia]

the bathroom between our bedroom and dd's. Not my ideal place but we had a toddler when we got her.

[Hoot]

We have a water fountain for the cats in the breakfast room. This is also where they eat. There is also a water fountain in my bedroom and a water and food dish for DS13's cat in his bedroom.

We've done different things over the years, depending on where we live and which pets we have.

 

Dog food can be on the floor in the kitchen. However, if we have a cat, his food cannot be where the dog can get it, because cat food is bad for dogs. So I have to figure out where to put that. :glare:

 

In this house, the cat food and water are upstairs, which is a no-dog zone. :) When we didn't have the dog, food and water were downstairs in the laundry room. Now that I have dogs, I feed them twice a day. I used to free-feed, but it just works better for me to put the food down and pick up the empty bowls. Water for the dogs is in the laundry room.In our last house, which didn't have an actual laundry *room,* cat food and water were on the floor in the kitchen (when there wasn't a dog).

[Pawz4me]

The dogs' bowls are in the kitchen. The cats' bowls are in their room (spare bedroom).

[Parrothead]

Everybody eats in the kitchen. Except the people.

[Punks in Ontario]

Outside. Occasionally in the winter they will make their way into the basement family room. Actually it's a large basement entry area.

[happypamama]

We keep one set in the pantry in the kitchen, and the other set is just inside the door to the basement steps, which is in the kitchen. But they eat each other's food anyway, LOL.

[texasmama]

In the tiled bathroom off the kitchen/living area.

[Jpoy85]

We have 4 dogs and 2 cats.

 

The cats have their bowls in the bathroom (with a babygate so they can actually have food!)

1 dog gets fed in the kitchen, 1 in his cage, and 2 in the living room.

~ We do it this way because the kitchen dog is a slow eater, the cage dog will have his food taken if he eats in the living room and the 2 living room dogs eat so quick its gone before it hits the bowl. lol.

[LaxMom]

In the kitchen, on a sparkly pink placemat that says "princess".

[Robin M]

We have a small house so food and water bowls in front of the patio door in the kitchen.

[lllll]

...

[StephanieZ]

I chose Other because our dogs' and cats' bowls are all over the house. :)

 

Some are in the laundry room, some are in two of our bathrooms, and there is another one at the landing at the top of the basement stairs and a couple more in the garage. (Four cats, four dogs, most need to be separated so they don't steal eachothers' food!)

 

If I ever build a custom house, I will plan for litter box and bowl locations in a tiled area or two!

[Jenny in Florida]

Other.

 

The dog's bowls are in the "mudroom" at the front of the house.

 

The cats' are in the pantry behind a baby gate (so the dog will leave them alone).

[Cinder]

Kitchen. There's a bit of space just outside the pantry door and under the big kitchen window--the two meet at one corner of the kitchen. However, if *some people* don't close the pantry door then the cat can't get to his bowls. :glare:

[Pink and Green Mom]

Our dog's bowls are in the mudroom - between the kitchen and the garage. But the dog is known for his buffet-style eating - he takes a mouthful of dry food and deposits it somewhere else in the house to eat.

[lavender's green]

One set is in the kitchen for the two boy cats. The other set is in our bedroom because girl cat doesn't get along with boy cats and is spoiled. :glare:

 

Rotten. :glare:

 

Little stinker. :glare:

[One Day At A Time]

Bowls for big dogs were always in the utility room because of the mess, but little dog's is in the kitchen (just more convenient for me).

[Lady Florida.]

Cat and dog. Both in the kitchen. They share a water dish.

[Lady Florida.]

 

The cats' are in the pantry behind a baby gate (so the dog will leave them alone).

 

I wish we had a "secure" location to keep the cat's dish. Like most cats, ours is a snacker but we have to pick up her dish whenever no one will be in the area.
