Nothing ruins your dog’s dinner like a bowl full of ants.

Thankfully there’s a really easy solution we wish we thought of sooner.

 

As a clever imgur user pointed out, placing your pet’s bowl inside a larger bowl with water will keep pests at bay.

“Keep ants out of your dog’s food by putting the bowl into a larger bowl that has water in it," they wrote alongside an image of the hack.

Your pet will thank you for this.
