Now your pets can stand or sit comfortably while eating or drinking. This elevated bowl with attached pedestal base is 5.4 high to the bowl rim and is well suited to all cats and also smaller dogs (eg: Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Yorkie, Pekinese, Laso and Pug). The pedestal base is heavier then the bowl and this durable Polish pottery pet dish resists tipping and sliding. The 5.5 diameter/1.25 deep bowl was designed specifically for dry food, hard food or water for one cat or small dog and holds 1.5 cups. The deeper bowl keeps dry food better contained and less exposed to air. The elevated pedestal design stoneware bowl helps keep water cleaner and better tasting. This dish may also be used to serve a small amount of wet food - but only to pets with narrower muzzles.
