YIP YIP HOORAY!

Best Spring Break Ever

We don’t want to jinx it. But reports are flooding in from TWB locations across St. Louis and St. Charles that spring weather has arrived — and that spring itself isn’t far behind. Around here it seems tails are wagging wider, steps are peppier, and the Xtreme Green synthetic turf is even greener. So we’d…

Spring Break ’19

Even if you don’t have plans, your dog sure hopes you do. The Watering Bowl consistently ranks among the top Spring Break destinations for dogs within a fifty-mile radius of St. Louis. And this year, we’ve expanded the excitement to include another fifty miles from St. Peters. We know it doesn’t seem like Spring Break…

Hard To Believe It’s Been 9 Years

It’s been nine years since we first threw open the big overhead door to release the hounds in South County. Nine years since we begged all our friends and family to come “make us look busy.” Nine years since Madden and Ruger, our founding dogs, helped us make all the crucial, four-legged decisions. And it’s…

DOGGY PADDLING ACROSS THE RIVER

If you would have told us in 2010, when we first opened in South County, that we’d be getting ready to open our fourth location in 2018, we would’ve thought you were crazy. If you would have told us we’d reach as far as St. Peters, we’d insist on a psychiatric screening.

We Should Get A T-Shirt Cannon

We’re lucky. We get to come to work every single day, and play with amazing creatures who love the opportunity just to hang out with us. An excited dog running toward you really is the best possible experience you can have upon walking into your place of business. But we’re also lucky for another reason.…

Loyalty Goes A Long Way

Our cage-free canine community is built for dogs. But it’s the two-legged members who welcome our pack every single day and make The Watering Bowl a place worthy of many return visits. In fact, we have several people we would classify as long-time loyalists. And we consider ourselves fortunate to spend our days with them.…

Cage-Free Employees

We’re proud of our cage-free canine community. It improves behavior, enhances quality of life and provides a much-need energy release for dogs of all ages and sizes. But it wouldn’t be possible without dedicated employees who oversee our guests, day and night. (In fact, we just recognized the best of the best.) They’re truly amazing.…

The $1,000 Hangover

This year’s hangover contest is nothing to sleep through. This year’s winner will collect $500 for themselves and $500 for their rescue of choice. We’re not math magicians over here, but our calculation comes out to roughly $1,000 for the winning hangover. For those who are unfamiliar with the doggy hangover phenomenon, it’s how we…
