ABSTRACT:
An improved animal feeding dish prevents crawling insects such as ants from entering and contaminating pet food contained within the dish. The structure comprises a generally upright bowl-shaped container which includes an imperforate circular base and an imperforate wall extending upward from the base and circumscribing the base. The bowl-shaped container is designed to receive and contain a predetermined amount of pet food. A trough is formed integrally with and circumscribes the container for holding a liquid such as water for deterring crawling insects from the container. The dish may be provided with a protective removable flange which extends outwardly from an upper rim of the container. The flange covers the underlying trough to reduce evaporation of the contained liquid and to prevent food and an animal's ears from falling into the trough.
