WE’RE ALWAYS UP TO SOMETHING
Check back often, follow us on social, say ‘hi’ at the next event. We love what we’re doing, and we like to think it’s obvious.
We’re almost midway through February. The first signs of Spring are on the horizon. It seems like the major holidays are either behind us or far ahead of us. That is, until you jolt awake in the middle of the night, when you remember the one February holiday you almost forgot to celebrate: National Pet…

And if you already broke out the dictionary for “dogma,” then you can close it for “hangovers.” Because that term means something a little different around here. To us,…
Read MoreDogs need plenty of room for sniffing, prancing and playing to their heart’s content. It’s all part of our cage-free ideology.

Read MoreWith all our locations back at full strength, and yet another award for “Top Workplace”, it seemed like the perfect time to check in with our employees for an inside look at life at The Watering Bowl. After all, these are some of your dog’s best friends and you probably want to know a little…
Read MoreAt The Watering Bowl, we’re blessed with not just good dogs, but also great people. And our certified dog trainers are at the forefront, ensuring our furry friends stay good through 1-on-1 training and classes. Tyler Hayward, Jon Conderman, and Laura Pieczynski head up the Butt Sniffers Academy, and bring many dog-year decades of experience…
