water bowl

Dog's drinking vessel

A water bowl is a container for drinking water, typically for pets or animals.

Dogs and cats drink from water bowls; birdbaths serve as water bowls for wild birds.

The term distinguishes from food bowls and emphasizes the contents rather than the container itself: Keep the water bowl filled and clean.
