Abstract
A pet watering device includes a bowl having a base with an upwardly extending sidewall attached to the base. A ramp is disposed within the bowl and extends from the bowl sidewall to the base. The ramp includes an aperture for dispensing water. A pump is disposed within the bowl. A lift tube is disposed between the pump and the ramp aperture for transporting water, such that the pump removes water from the bowl to the lift tube for discharge through the ramp aperture onto the ramp for return of water to the bowl.
