An elevated feeder with two 68-ounce ceramic bowls seated in a raised stand, shipped with a mat that sits underneath to catch drips. Raising the bowls brings food and water up toward chest height for medium and large dogs, which cuts the neck-craning posture that makes older dogs eat slowly and makes fast drinkers slosh water across the floor. Ceramic matters here for two reasons: it is heavy enough that a determined dog cannot shove it across the kitchen, and it does not hold the scratches that trap bacteria in plastic bowls. Both bowls lift out for the dishwasher. Best fit: medium to large breeds, senior dogs with stiff necks or hips, and households tired of wiping the same spot by the back door every evening.
Pros
- Ceramic bowls are heavy enough that a large dog cannot shove the stand across the floor
- Raised height cuts the neck craning that slows down older dogs at dinner
- Both bowls lift out and go in the dishwasher, unlike molded one-piece feeders
- The included mat catches the drips instead of leaving them on your floor
Cons
- Ceramic chips if you drop a bowl on a tile floor, so it is less forgiving than stainless
Frequently asked questions
What size dog is this height right for?
It is built for medium and large breeds. As a rule the bowl rim should sit roughly at the dog's chest, below shoulder height. For a small dog under about 25 pounds this stand will be too tall.
Are the bowls dishwasher safe?
Yes. Both ceramic bowls lift out of the stand and go on the top rack. The stand itself wipes clean with a damp cloth.
How much does 68 ounces actually hold?
About half a gallon per bowl. For most medium and large dogs that is a full day of water, which is the main reason people size up to this one.
Does raising the bowl help with bloat?
The evidence on elevated feeders and bloat is genuinely mixed, and some studies suggest raised bowls may increase risk in large deep-chested breeds. Buy this for comfort and mess control, and ask your vet if bloat is a specific concern for your dog.
