Abstract: A pet food dish assembly, having a food container with a first container section, and a first bottom edge; and a water container having at least second and third container sections, a first exterior sidewall, a top wall, and a second bottom edge. The top wall has a channel extending between the second and third container sections. The food container mounts onto the water container over the second container section. The first bottom edge is elevated above the top wall when the food container is mounted onto the water container. The food container further has a second exterior sidewall with at least one cutout. The at least one cutout aligns with the channel when the food container is mounted onto the water container. The second container section stores liquid matter to create a barrier to prevent access to and/or contamination of the food container by crawling insects.
