  • Patent number: 8397676
    Abstract: The instant invention describes a drinking container for dispensing limited amounts of a liquid to an animal, generally comprising a top portion constructed and arranged to engage a bottom portion, and a bottom portion. The bottom portion has a first end and a second end defined by a bottom wall. Linking the first end of the bottom portion to the bottom wall is a side wall, thereby defining a liquid reservoir for holding a liquid. Engagement of the top portion with the bottom portion defines a drool preventing container constructed and arranged for providing an animal access to a limited amount of liquid stored within the reservoir for holding a liquid, thereby preventing or limiting drool formation as said animal drinks therefrom. The drool preventing container further contains an animal access chamber having a main body defined by a first end linked to an opening centrally positioned along the top portion, and a second end.
