Why a No-Spill Kennel Cup Makes Travel Easier
When you're on the road with your dog, stopping to open the crate door just to refill a water bowl gets old fast. A no-spill kennel cup solves that by letting you add water from outside the crate, while a special rim keeps the water inside the bowl even when the car moves. Petmate makes two versions of this cup, both designed to work with most wire or plastic kennels.
How to Install the Petmate No-Spill Kennel Cup
The installation steps below come from the Petmate No-Spill Kennel Cup Double Diner. If you have the single-cup version, the same general approach applies.
- 1. Prepare the cup parts: From the back of the cup, unscrew the bolt from the threaded piece. Remove the funnel piece and set it aside.
- 2. Position the cup on the door: Place the cup on the inside of the kennel door, positioning it where your dog can reach the water easily. Hold it in place with one hand.
- 3. Secure the cup from outside: From the outside of the kennel, place the funnel back onto the threaded piece. Turn the bolt clockwise to tighten it against the door. This also creates the refill port.
- 4. Fill the cup: Fill the kennel cup with fresh water. The no-spill rim helps reduce sloshing and spills during travel.

Tips for Using the Cup on the Road
Check that the cup is tightened securely before driving. The no-spill rim helps, but a loose cup can still leak. Because both models are BPA and lead-free, they are safe for regular use. If your dog is a heavy drinker, the Double Diner gives you two cups in one mount, which can be handy for longer trips. For a single large serving, the single-cup model may be enough.
