12" Elevated Dog Pet Feeder- Large Raised Dog Bowl Stand- Includes 4 Stainless Steel Bowls (12 Inch)

I purchased this for my sister's household. They have a senior-aged kitty who was frequently vomiting despite having no illness. I am hoping these elevated food and water bowls will alleviate the old girl's tummy trouble! This feeder's design is simple yet modern, quite aesthetically pleasing and complementary to my sister's home decor. My sister prefers stainless steel bowls over ceramic, so she was quite excited to see both a set of shallow bowls and deep bowls included in the box. I compared this feeder to a competitor's model that features tilted stainless steel bowls and swiftly realized their disadvantage: those tilted bowls have to be locked in or screwed in to a base or else they shift around or dislodge completely when the animal eats. This feeder doesn't require two hands or any special movements to place or remove the bowls. To remove a bowl, you can pop a fingernail underneath the rim of the bowl, or alternately you can push a bowl up through the hole in the feeder by lifting up the bowl's bottom with your hand. I'm always looking for ways to make everyday tasks as quick and easy as possible, and this feeder couldn't make it any easier to place or remove the bowls. I'm curious to see how the wood stain handles weeks and months of use, especially given that bits of food and rogue drops of water aren't always going to be immediately wiped away. Previous reviews indicate that the manufacturer had updated or adjusted the stain to reduce or prevent mold accumulation, although I would still think any wood or wood-like surface should be kept as clean and dry as possible. The feeder is equipped with large screwed-in rubberized feet that hold the unit very steady on a hard floor. Each bowl hole has several pre-installed low-profile bumpers that eliminate any movement of the bowl while kitty is chowing down, but extra bumpers came included on a little card, which is quite nice! Even though she's only a few days into this new elevated bowl experiment, sister's kitty seems to like, and even enjoy, her new feeder. Kitty doesn't have to lower her head below shoulder height when she eats or drinks, and that's exactly what I wanted for her when I chose this particular feeder.

This is really nice, high quality feeling. Cats immediately took to it! I purchased the small one. I love the non slip feet it has. Considering the larger one for my puppy!

UPDATED REVIEW:I originally received an earlier edition of this product, in which there were only 1.5 cup bowls. As my dog is a grazer and we put 2 cups of food in his food bowl, I was disappointed by what I felt was a misleading product description.I contacted Pawfect Pets, who were lovely and responsive. They explained the understandable issue of me receiving an earlier edition of the product, and sent two 2.5 cup bowls to me via priority shipping.The elevated pet feeder is now set up in my kitchen and both my dog and I my love it! It is aesthetically pleasing to the eye without being flashy; the bamboo structure is well constructed and sturdy. I originally looked at the metal frame feeders, but am very happy that I went with this feeder due to both look and spill-protection. My dog is a somewhat messy drinker (I had no idea the extent of this until there is no longer water all around his bowl) and the feeder's rim around the bowl has stopped the water from getting on the floor. I highly recommend this product.ORIGINAL REVIEW: [I apologize for it being a little rant-y]After looking at many different elevated water bowls for my dogs, the deciding factor for me choosing this elevated dog feeder was that despite being relatively small and inconspicuous, it came with bowls 2.5" deep. ("The four included bowls hold 1.5 cups and 2.5 cups which measure 1.5” and 2.5" deep respectively. Bowls can be interchanged for ones of your choosing as long as the inside diameter is 5.25" or less.") However, all 4 bowls I received were the same size. Yes, I could buy two additional dog bowls, but at that point the product would no longer be cost efficient.The part of me that is annoyed at the misinformation, especially given that the stated depth was one of the deciding factors for me choosing this dog bowl feeding over others, wants to give this product 1 star.I ultimately gave this product 2 stars in the interest of fairness. The elevated feeder itself is not tacky at all (versus some other elevated feeders online) and appears to be well-made. I cannot speak to the quality of the feeder over time, but if I did not need deeper bowls I would keep it.

Perfect height for my small (15.5lb) terrier. I like having the choice of bowl depths, and I can use the extra to give her water on the back porch. Seems very sturdy, and nice looking.

I have purchased a number of these in the past, these specific ones from this specific seller/maker. The first ones I got, about 3 years ago, were very nice, the wood was very high quality and was covered with a type of laminate protective seal. Unfortunately, the ones I have ordered recently within the past month have been very poor quality. The wood is poor quality and often splintering and the craftsmanship is very poor quality with parts of the boards splitting from each other, not properly sealed and what looks like exposed nails, perhaps from a nail gun.Either QC has dropped, or perhaps a different manufacturer is being used, but I cannot in good conscience recommend these at this time for these reasons and for the safety of our furry family members.
