Abstract
Pet waterers and feeders are provided that have a spill-resistant rim. In particular, in one embodiment, a device for dispensing at least one of food and liquid to an animal is provided. The device includes a bowl and a coupler positioned over a first opening of the bowl. The coupler is configured to receive a bottle. Additionally, the device includes a spill-resistant rim positioned over a second opening of the bowl. The spill-resistant rim extends inwardly into the second opening to prevent spilling of the bowl's contents.
