1. A pet feeding system comprising: a housing defining a contained feeding area having a bowl region adapted to hold at least one bowl for containing food, water, or both food and water, and a collection region, the housing having a base with a sloped surface for directing water from the bowl region
1. A pet feeding system comprising: a housing defining a contained feeding area having a bowl region adapted to hold at least one bowl for containing food, water, or both food and water, and a collection region, the housing having a base with a sloped surface for directing water from the bowl region to the collection region, the contained feeding area surrounded by a wall extending upwardly from the base, the bowl region comprising an opening extending through the sloped surface, the opening having a perimeter that is surrounded by a peripheral wall, the bowl region further comprising a bowl that is received in the opening and resting on the peripheral wall, the wall surrounding the contained feeding area extending higher than the peripheral wall so that the entirety of the bowl is positioned below the top of the wall surrounding the contained feeding area, the wall surrounding the contained feeding area and the peripheral wall being separated from one another by at least one channel that slopes downwardly from the bowl region to the collection region, forming a chute for conveying spilled water from the bowl region directly into the collection region by channel flow. 2. A pet feeding system comprising: a base having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the base having a perimeter and a slope descending from the first end to the second end and an opening extending through the base, the opening having a perimeter that is surrounded by a peripheral wall;a barrier extending upwardly from the base and surrounding the perimeter of the base, the barrier having a first section rising a first height from the base, and a second section rising a second height from the base at the second end of the base, the second height being less than the first height to form an access opening at the second end of the base;a trap in the second end of the base for receiving a solid or a liquid spilled on the base, the trap comprising at least one opening for allowing a liquid that enters the trap to exit the trap while retaining a solid that enters the trap in the trap; anda bowl extending through the opening and resting on the peripheral wall, the first section of the barrier extending higher than the peripheral wall so that the entirety of the bowl is positioned below the top of the first section, the first section and the peripheral wall being separated from one another by at least one channel that slopes downwardly from the first end to the second end, forming a chute for conveying spilled water from the first end of the base directly into the trap by channel flow. 3. The pet feeding system of claim 2, wherein the at least one opening comprises a plurality of openings in the trap. 4. The pet feeding system of claim 2, wherein the at least one opening comprises a single opening in the trap. 5. The pet feeding system of claim 2, wherein the trap is integral with the base. 6. The pet feeding system of claim 2, wherein the trap is removable from the base. 7. The pet feeding system of claim 2, wherein the opening and the peripheral wall form a first bowl receptacle on a first side of the base, the base further comprising a second bowl receptacle on a second side of the base opposite the first side of the base. 8. The pet feeding system of claim 7, wherein the second bowl receptacle comprises an opening and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from the base. 9. The pet feeding system of claim 8, wherein a space between the peripheral wall of the second bowl receptacle and the barrier forms a flow channel for conveying liquid, the flow channel discharging into the trap. 10. A pet feeding system comprising: a base having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the base having a slope descending from the first end to the second end;at least one bowl receptacle between the first and the second end, the at least one bowl receptacle comprising an opening extending through the base and a peripheral wall surrounding the opening;a barrier extending upwardly from and surrounding the perimeter of the base;a trap in the second end of the base for receiving a solid or a liquid spilled on the base; anda bowl extending through the opening and resting on the peripheral wall, the barrier extending higher than the peripheral wall so that the entirety of the bowl is positioned below the top of the barrier, the barrier and the peripheral wall being separated from one another by at least one channel that slopes downwardly from the first end to the second end, forming a chute for conveying spilled water from the first end of the base directly into the trap by channel flow. 11. The pet feeding system of claim 10, wherein the trap includes means for draining liquid from the trap and retaining solids in the trap. 12. The pet feeding system of claim 11, wherein the means for draining liquid from the trap and retaining solids in the trap comprises at least one opening at a bottom-most section of the trap. 13. The pet feeding system of claim 10, wherein the at least one channel extends along an edge of the at least one bowl receptacle and discharges into the trap. 14. The pet feeding system of claim 10, wherein the at least one bowl receptacle comprises a first bowl receptacle comprising a first opening through the base and a second bowl receptacle comprising a second opening through the base, the first opening surrounded by a first peripheral wall, and the second opening surrounded by a second peripheral wall. 15. The pet feeding system of claim 14, further comprising a central channel extending from the first end of the base and discharging into the trap, the central channel bounded on one side by the first peripheral wall and bounded on the other side by the second peripheral wall. 16. The pet feeding system of claim 1, wherein the collection region comprises means for filtering spilled food from spilled water. 17. The pet feeding system of claim 16, wherein the means for filtering spilled food from spilled water comprises at least one opening sufficiently small such that the spilled food remains in the contained feeding area but the spilled water passes through the at least one opening, thereby allowing for separation of spilled food from spilled water. 18. The pet feeding system of claim 1, wherein the collection region is a perforated collection region for filtering spilled food from spilled water. 19. The pet feeding system of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a first reservoir, the pet feeding system further comprising a second reservoir separate from the first reservoir, the first reservoir adapted to collect spilled food and the second reservoir adapted to collect spilled water. 20. The pet feeding system of claim 1, wherein the collection region comprises a removable filter component mounted to the housing. 21. A pet feeding system comprising: a base having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the base having a perimeter and a slope descending from the first end to the second end and an opening extending through the base, the opening having a perimeter that is surrounded by a peripheral wall;a barrier extending upwardly from the base and surrounding the perimeter of the base;a trap in the second end of the base for receiving a solid or a liquid spilled on the base, the trap comprising at least one opening for allowing a liquid that enters the trap to exit the trap while retaining a solid that enters the trap in the trap;a bowl extending through the opening and resting on the peripheral wall, the barrier extending higher than the peripheral wall so that the entirety of the bowl is positioned below the top of the barrier, the barrier and the peripheral wall being separated from one another by at least one channel that slopes downwardly from the first end to the second end, forming a chute for conveying spilled water from the first end of the base directly into the trap by channel flow; anda reservoir extending beneath the slope and trap, the reservoir consisting of a single basin in fluid communication with the trap for receiving spilled liquid that exits the trap.
