Petego Yoga Dog Bowl

nI searched in may retail Pet Stores, online stores, and wasn't able to find the ideal plate for my frechie (BOND). I must say, this Bowl is EXCELLENT for his posture while eating. I bought the Medium size for a 30 pound French Bulldog Male, you can fit up to 2 Cups which will be more than enough for one meal. The ceramic bowl looks elegant, and it is easy to clean, even in a Dishwash machine. I highly recommend this product.

Brachycephalic dog owners - probably not good for your pooches (pugs, shiatzu, etc.) but perfect for my 16 and 26 pound terrier crosses. Medium size is perfect. No, they are not really raised feeders but they are off the ground and I love having removable dishes. The stands and dishes (ordered feeder and dishes as a set per one reviewer’s advice - thank you) are attractive, don't slide and the stoneware bowls are very heavy and nice. I even ordered a second set of bowls so I am not constantly washing them. The plastic base can also hold food or water, but I prefer a feeder from which I can take out and wash the food dish. I use these for food only and the medium size is perfect for the quantity off food my dogs get. Picture of pooches waiting to be fed is for size reference (and cuteness). You can see they do bend when eating.

This review is for the 9 ounce (smallest) size. We bought three for three dogs, all under 22 pounds.To raise the bowl, or not raise the bowl. If you're looking at these bowls, you're either trying to decide, or you've already decided. We were there once too and, obviously, decided to raise the bowls. I can't help you decide whether to raise your dog's bowl but can tell you what I think of this product.We chose this bowl primarily because of the amount of rise from the floor. It is not as dramatic of a change in height as other bowls provide. If you check reviews, you'll note that there are mentions from some people about their disappointment that these Petego Yoga Pet Bowls did raise as high up from the floor as they wanted. My best suggestion is to blow up the product pictures on the Amazon.com pages of the brands you like. The differences are readily apparent in many.Many schools of thought exist, but for the most part, those that believe in the benefits of raising the bowl believe that raising it too much provides no benefit. Also, that it doesn't take much of a lift to provide a benefit. (If you have BIG dogs, you should do research because it appears too much or little really matters because of something called "gastric dilatation and volvulus syndrome.") I made my decision based on observation, trial and error. In other words, these are not our first raised bowls.An equally important reason, to us, for choosing the Petego Yoga Pet Bowl is the angle of the bowl. Of the brands of bowls we tried, the Yoga bowl is the only one with shorter legs on one side to give the bowl a slight tilt for even easier access. Regarding sliding around, there hasn't been any of the movement problem that some others have mentioned (tile floor).These are sold as bowls, or bowl holders. Petego makes a china bowl that fits inside this holder (so that your dog isn't eating directly from plastic). Petego Tulip Ceramic Dog Bowl, Small is sold separately and costs more than the bowl holder. I found a less expensive alternative. A different brand. ProSelect Stainless Steel Dog Bowl with Rubber Base, 4-1/2-Inch, 9-Ounce is less than half the price. Are they perfect? No. They aren't as cool looking, for one and second, they don't have a rim that extends out. But they fit right and I'm keeping them. Besides, I'm a klutz, if I'd bought the ceramic ones, I'd have already had to replace one. Instead, it was one of the stainless that I dropped. It was just noisy, no damage!If you've decided on raised bowls for your dog(s), out of the four designs I tried, this is my favorite because of its height and angle. I would have loved it, versus liked it, if Petego would have offered an unbreakable bowl, like the stainless I found, and didn't sell it separately.***UPDATE***In my original review, I said that "I would have loved it, versus liked it, if Petego would have offered an unbreakable bowl... and didn't sell it separately." A kind Amazon reviewer directed me to look at ASIN: B00BK2DLKS, the stand and bowl TOGETHER! After ordering one to make sure I liked the ceramic bowl, I decided to return the original stands and replace them with the stand and bowl combo (ASIN: B00BK2DLKS). The bowls are thick ceramic, breakable obviously, but it would take some force. Like the stand, the bowls are taller on one side than the other; they fit perfectly and have a wide rim that extends to the edges to help keep gunk off of the stand. My review of the stand and bowl together is 5 stars, the stand alone remains 4.

It looks like a really good bowl. Nice and hefty so my bully won't be chasing it around the floor. Looks like it would be a great angle for a dog with a short neck! Perhaps too hefty for some but I was deliberately looking for something that wouldn't budge when he plowed his face into his food. But I couldn't use it because it came wrapped in a box only with a little bit of brown paper for padding in a box that was a little too big. I could hear it clatter as I picked up the box. The ceramic bowl insert was broken. It's frustrating, how they didn't think that the ceramic would need extra cushioning.

I ordered two of these for my boston terriers. I have a 12 pound puppy and a 25 pound adult and this size works wonderfully for them both. The adult has been blind her entire life so I especially love this dish for her. It holds in place, tilts a bit forward and is elevated! I did not purchase the corresponding bowl because it looked too deep, thus not giving it as much elevation. Instead, we have a dozen or so corning ware cereal bowls that fit perfectly. I can wash and replace these bowls frequently for easy cleanliness. The red ones I received had stickers that said red, but they sure look orange to me...not the deep true red as pictured. I can live with that since the dish is so great. This was one of the best dog supply purchases I have ever made.

I use the small size as a food bowl for a Corgi who is fed 1/2 cup twice a day and the medium size for water. The small is perfect for up to a cup of food (I use a small size kibble). I love the elevation and angle and the small nub in the bottom of the bowl keeps her from eating too fast. Not sure it was meant to slow down the eating but it works that way for my dog. The medium is perfect to hold enough water for one dog but not so much that it gets dirty or stale before needing a refill. The weight and design keep her from dragging them around and the non-skid pads on the bottom work well to keep the bowls in place on a tile floor. They cost more than plastic bowls and I wanted ceramic instead of stainless steel (noise factor) but if you are not too picky about color or watch warehouse deal you can get them at a good price.
