I'm a Dog Mom, and These Are the Items I Always Have On Hand

WeatherTech 4" High Pet Feeding System ($54)

If you have a sloppy drinker (cough, Lex), you'll love the generous mat on WeatherTech's pet feeding systems. The raised outer lip has spared our hardwood floors from so much water damage over the years, and both the stand and bowls are super easy to clean, either by hand or in the dishwasher. Plus, the elevated design — available in a range of sizes — helps reduce neck and back strain, something that's become increasingly important as my dogs have aged.
