Refilling bowls one by one is the chore that never ends, especially once your shelter is packed. Flip on Bottomless Bowls and every food dish, water bowl, feed trough, and watering trough in the place stays full on its own. Your animals never go hungry or thirsty, and you get to spend your time on the fun stuff instead of laps around the enclosures with a kibble bag. Turn it off any time to go back to hand-filling.

</>Common questions about Bottomless Bowls
What does Bottomless Bowls do in Animal Shelter?
Bottomless Bowls keeps every food and water container in Animal Shelter topped up for you automatically. Flip it on and every food dish, water bowl, feed trough, and watering trough across your shelter stays full without a single trip to the kibble bag. Your dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and horses never dip into hunger or thirst, so you're free to spend your time on adoptions, decorating, and the parts of running a shelter you actually enjoy. It's a free mod from ProjectMods, and you can switch it off any time you want to go back to filling bowls by hand.
Does Bottomless Bowls fill troughs as well as bowls?
Yes. Bottomless Bowls covers both the small containers and the big ones in Animal Shelter. That means every food dish and water bowl your smaller animals use, plus the feed troughs and watering troughs your horses rely on, all stay topped up at the same time. There's nothing to configure and no per-bowl setup: the moment the mod is on, every eating and drinking station in the shelter counts. So whether you've got a room full of puppies or a stable full of horses, none of them run dry while Bottomless Bowls is active.
Do animals still need bowls placed for Bottomless Bowls to work?
Yes, the containers still need to exist in your shelter. Bottomless Bowls keeps your food and water stations full, but it doesn't spawn new ones out of thin air, so each enclosure still needs its bowls and troughs placed the normal way. Once they're down, though, refilling them is no longer your job. The mod handles the topping-up for every bowl and trough you've set out, across all your animals in Animal Shelter, from a single kitten dish to a full stable of horse troughs. If you add a new bowl later, it's covered automatically too, with no extra steps.
Can I turn Bottomless Bowls off when I want the challenge back?
Absolutely. Bottomless Bowls is a simple on/off toggle in the ProjectMods launcher, so you're always in control of when the auto-filling happens. Leave it on for a hands-free shelter where hunger and thirst never become a problem, or flip it off the moment you want the normal feeding routine back. When it's off, bowls and troughs drain and refill exactly like vanilla Animal Shelter, and nothing about your save is changed permanently. A lot of players run it during big building or adoption sessions, then switch it off for a more grounded playthrough later. The choice is yours, and switching between the two takes one click.
Why would I use Bottomless Bowls in a big shelter?
Bottomless Bowls shines the moment your Animal Shelter gets crowded. Once you've got dozens of dogs, cats, and horses spread across multiple enclosures, refilling every bowl and trough by hand turns into a full-time lap around the property that never really ends. This mod takes that entire chore off your plate so a packed shelter runs itself on the food-and-water front. That frees you up to focus on the rewarding parts: rehoming animals, expanding your layout, and decorating. It pairs nicely with other ProjectMods Animal Shelter mods like Happy Tails when you want a completely stress-free shelter where nobody's needs ever drop into the red.
