If it is a dish, the amount of water on the bottom should 1/8" or less and the sides of the dish shouldn't be very tall. Both of these conditions are to reduce the risk of water being inhaled into the lungs. This way, when they go to drink, their heads are horizontal and their nostrils will remain above the water allowing them to breathe while they drink.
You can use the plastic lid from an oatmeal container or something like that. Of course, the water should be changed daily and it is best to have two lids so that it can dry completely before being used the next day.
