PETKIT Raised Dog Cat Food Bowl 304 Stainless Steel, Elevated Pet Food and Water Bowl Dishes, Elevated Cat Bowls, Non-Slip Tilted Cat Bowl No Spill

I am a fan of PetKit products: they cost more, but the engineering design and quality are well worth it. For example, PetKit’s stainless water fountain is easily ten times easier to clean and the water filtration is superb, as opposed to a cheaper, all plastic model I initially bought. The price is high, but it’s a game changer.For reference, we have 5 cats: one 12, two 4 year olds, and 2 kittens. When offered a chance to try this bowl system, I accepted, as my plastic two bowl molded one-piece cheapie thing had gotten pretty beat up, and to be honest, wasn’t easy to clean anymore.I’ve used this for a little less than a week, and I can recommend it for all cats. Here’s what I found:1.) Quality: up to PetKit’s higher standards. Sturdy solid plastic frame, well-turned bowls with no finishing defects. There was a little dust on the frame, probably from packaging: easily wiped off, although I always do a quick wash on new food containers for cats anyway. (Not for mine, though, go figure!)2.) Size: the platform is substantial but not overwhelming. It’s not dainty, and neither are my cats. The size actually catches most spills. It has a small lip around the edge of the plastic base that prevents most dry food from flying on the rest of the floor. Tiny Wet food particles will stick to the plastic as much as any other platform, so no difference there. The larger size may help the four rubber pads on the bottom keep their grip. And these pads aren’t the cheap kind that fall off.3.) Bowl size and design. The bowls are a little larger than other bowls, having a more rounded base than the typical flat base. Because of the angle option, this meant I was able to use the usual portion size and not have it spill out. Yay!4.) How the angle is achieved: so this is kind of cool. Both bowls are built like stand-mixer bowls: put the small “foot” underneath the bowl into the base’s hole and give a 1/4 turn and it’s “locked” in. Untwisting is easy for those of us with opposable thumbs, not cats. Even better, there are TWO settings! There is a second hole just below and overlapping with the first (so it looks like a figure 8, or a Venn Diagram), that can be used to set the bowls FLAT/LEVEL. That’s just cool. I used the flat for water and the angle for food, just for testing purposes, and no problems of uneven weight, spills, etc.5.) Effects of the angle: so I’d be fine recommending this system if it were just flat, so the angle is an added bonus. I am no vet and my cats’ digestion is just fine overall, but the twelve year old regurgitates his food once every month or so, so I got this for him to see if it helps. We’ll see.Now, there are some kittens born with a condition called Megaesophagus (go online and check this out) and having them eat at a raised angle is supposed to help. Again, I am NOT a vet: I just saw a video where a one-off system was made. This reminds me of it, and if it works, how cool that everyone who needs one can get one! That said, I don’t have a way to test this, but the concept is there.There is only one problem if this is the concept: my cats swarmed, and the kittens actually ate from the Tall side! Thus defeating the purpose. There’s a common-sense fix to this: put it against against a wall. The older cats knew what was up and ate from the lower side. I just noticed this because I had it out in the middle of the room to see if it moved. My bad. What I’ll do now is make this the 12 year olds exclusive bowl and see if it helps. If I had just two cats, this wouldn’t be a problem.Even if your cat doesn’t have an extreme medical issue, it’s a very good food bowl system with a lot of options and great quality. If you need a new bowl and want to get something that will last, I’d recommend this.

Amazing steel bowls. I tried all sort of food bowls for my kitten and finally this one worked. I had the porcelain bowls with and without angle and a flat plate but she would stop eating sometimes because her chin or whiskers would touch the bowl. But this bowl is sufficiently large and angled that se eats well without stopping. Absolutely loved it. They are easy to clean as well.Thank you so much for making this bowl.

Easy to clean and perfect height for my kitty’s dinner!

At first I wasn't sure about this when opening, like reviews mentioned the base doesn't have the feel that you may imagine from the pictures, it's pretty lightweight, it's not cheap plastic, but you feel it could be something more substantial, metal even, though that would jump the price somewhat. Then I wasn't sure about the bowls, the rims felt sharp and twisting the bowls in and out wasn't super comfortable. However once I started to use it day to day, I really started to appreciate the design, especially over my previous solution of having 2 separate bowls. Now I can just pick up the whole thing, take to the sink, wash, and fill the bowls. You don't really have to take the bowls out, I do it maybe once a week, and now I know how to without feeling those sharp edges, once I got used to the twisting, it's actually pretty easy.We have a silicon mat, and haven't found any issue with the bowls slipping around so far, in that regard its sturdy enough, and visually it looks good, you only notice the material when you pick it up.Initially I was concerned about the bowls being so close together, our 2 cats can be somewhat frenemies and a bit territorial when it comes to food, but so far had no issues with the bowls being close.A few more color options or maybe the option for a metal base, and it'd be an easy 5 stars for me. Otherwise if you like the look of it, and want an all in one dual bowl option, this is an easy recommendation. The option to tilt the bowls is great, I have noticed far less throwing up than before, don't know if I can attribute that solely to the bowls, but something to point out.

UPDATE: I’m upgrading this review from 3 to 5 stars. After writing the original review, the company contacted me for more information about the problem. I provided a detailed description with photos and they responded quickly, saying a new base would be sent to me. Today I received the replacement, not just the base but a totally new unit with bowls. It works perfectly and I’m impressed with their excellent customer service.Original Review: I bought this for the ability to tilt the bowls, and my cat really likes eating from them. However, one of the bowls has never locked into place properly. The base is plastic and the bowls are metal; I assume the problem is that they don’t line up properly. One bowl is fine, but the other doesn’t stay in place. For $25, I expected better quality.

The media could not be loaded. I bought these stainless steel pet bowls, because I kept dropping and breaking the ceramics ones. This definitely doesn’t have the issue of cracking.I’ll have to use this more to see if it really is stainless, but so far so good!I like that you can choose to have the bowls at a different angle, which is helpful for shorter dogs. The bowls are a bit on the smaller side, so it may not work for big dogs, but it works great for the amount of food I give my 17 lb dog.It’s been working great for us and I love how minimalistic it looks. It’s also very easy to clean, so that’s also a plus!

It’s a great, sturdy set that looks good and neat function of positions .. BUT my elderly cat isn’t eating or drinking anything from it; unsure why, maybe it’s the metal type he not fan off? Giving it another day or so; if he doesn’t eat then sadly will need to return even though I like do like it.

Work great the dog could not take her bowl somewhere else so not sure she liked it
