Now your pet can stand or sit comfortably while eating. This dish with attached pedestal base is 5.2 high to the rim of the bowl and is well suited to all cats and also smaller dogs (eg: Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Yorkie, Pekinese, Laso, and Pug). The 6.5 diameter/1 deep bowl was designed specifically for wet, canned or fresh food for one cat or small dog and holds approximately 1.5 cups. The wide shallow bowl will not irritate sensitive whiskers and the food is easily accessible to the pet. This dish is especially beneficial to flat faced cats (eg: Persian) and smaller flat muzzled dogs (eg: Pekinese, Laso and Pug) who should never eat wet food from a deep dish. The elevated pedestal design will not obstruct your pets vision while eating and the height of this dish also helps to keep the contents free of debris and ants. The pedestal base is heavier then the bowl and this durable pottery wet food dish resists tipping and sliding.
