Abstract
A splash-guard system; the splash-guard system includes a guard-member, a base-member, and a mat. The splash-guard system is useful for confining splashes or spills from a pet bowl to the splash-guard system such that a pet owner does not need to regularly clean the surrounding area of the pet bowl when a pet makes a mess when feeding. The splash-guard system serves to prevent constant cleaning and damage to the surrounding floor and walls.
