ABSTRACT:
A pet food bowl that includes a protection against small crawling insects to prevent the latter from reaching the food contained therein. The bowl has a container assembly and a protective removable annular cover that can be readily mounted over the water channel formed in said bowl. The design is particularly helpful for cleaning the bowl and having access to all of its parts. The lower peripheral wall extends outwardly at an angle to improve the structural stability of the bowl and preventing accidentally tipping it over. The cover includes a slanted wall that matches the inclination of the upper wall so that it can be aligned and frictionally locked in place, if needed. The water channel that prevents the small insects from crossing to the area where the food is has sufficiently large dimensions to prevent the average insect from reaching it. The opening between the cover and the channel is sufficiently small to prevent the pet from drinking the water.
