Dry Beard - Water Dish Insert (Customizable)

Floating Water Bowl Disc – A Simple Fix for My Dog Dudley’s Wet Beard

If you have a bearded dog, you already know the struggle.
Every time my dog Dudley took a drink, his beard came back absolutely soaked — dripping water across the floor, rugs, and his chest.

I designed this floating water bowl disc after getting tired of wiping his face multiple times a day.

The disc floats on top of the water and naturally limits how deep Dudley can stick his face into the bowl. He can still drink normally, but his beard stays way drier, and there’s far less splashing and mess around the bowl.

It’s been a small change, but honestly one of the most helpful quality-of-life improvements we’ve made for him (and for our floors).

Why It Worked for Dudley

• Floats with the water level — no adjusting needed
• Keeps his beard from dunking into the bowl
• Cuts down on puddles and wet paw prints
• Drops right into a standard round dog bowl
• Easy to rinse clean when needed
• Customizable using parametric model

Printing Notes

• No supports needed
• Prints easily in PLA, PETG, or TPU
• PETG or TPU recommended for water resistance
• You may want to scale slightly to match your bowl’s inner diameter
