ABSTRACT:
An improved spill-resistant container for transporting animals having an automatic refill feature and a low profile design that allows the animal ease of access to drinking water and resists tipping of the container. Water within the container is prevented from spilling by use of an annular housing that maintains water spillage from an upwardly facing substantially concave internal dish within the housing. The dish defines at least one aperture therein to allow spilled water to re-enter the dish for consumption by the animal. The diameter of the rim of the dish is greater than the diameter of an animal access aperture defined by the housing. The dish is attached to a support base that is sealingly attached to the annular housing, the volume external to the dish side and within the annular housing defining an impervious baffling interior chamber. Apparatus may be provided for automatically or manually actuating a flow of water from an external reservoir to refill the dish to a predetermined level.
