Solid base with good bowls. The dogs love it.

We have a growing Golden Retriever puppy and this is the third set of raised bowls we have tried. I'll save you some time"”it's perfect. It's incredibly sturdy, looks good, and will last a lifetime. Yes, water can drip down under the water bowl but it's easy to quickly wipe it out with a towel once a week or so. It has a substantial footprint but that's what you want with a rambunctious dog. Truly it was worth every penny (I got the used-like-new one) and I wouldn't change a thing.

I bought it because my Labrador Retriever drinks like a horse and I can add the bottle so it will refill some, I haven't used the bottle on it yet but will, It took a little time to get the dogs to use it instead of their old bowls, I could have just taken the old bowls away and let them get hungry or thirsty enough until they figured it out, but it was too tall for my Rat Terrier / Chihuahua mix they aren't stupid it's just you do something for 5 years and then comes this other deal and your mind is conditioned to use what you are used to ( This is my take on it, they could actually be stupid but they seem to do pretty good with most everything else.. )

Okay, One dog is big and getting older so I wanted a bow that she wouldn't have to lay on the ground to be comfortable to eat or drink, and the small dog couldn't reach the bowl well enough so I took the battery operated dremel out, got some masking tape and put the tape around the bottom layer of the stand and cut it away evenly, start to finish maybe a half of a hour, didn't rush it and it cut pretty even and you might have to lightly file way some of the edges on the bottom, I didn't have to, where the 8300 dremel got the plastic hot ( The Stand got hot not the dremel tool ) while cutting the stand on the cutting wheel some of the plastic would melt and get on the mandrel, let that cool and peel t off and finish the cutting cleaning the mandrel like 2 times, it wasn't a big deal BUT Wait until the molten plastic cools first before peeling it off ! ) - I was able to just take my hand and break off little areas where the hot plastic pooled along the bottom of the stand, put it on the carpeted floor and it's all nice and level and after about a week both dogs are now using it at the medium height and I can use the back up water supply.. I also just filled up a additional gallon of water and put it near by and instead of running to the faucet every time I turn around the dogs have water right then instead of thinking it's getting low and I will refill it soon then possibly forget ( Very Rarely Do but that's too often ) ... If it sounds like I'm lazy I might be but I'm having a hard time walking for awhile due to a injury and this is much easier and less painful..

The bowls stay nice shiny and clean and hold more than I thought that they would.... ..

My next project ( Nothing to do with this item ) is to get the ten year old Ratcha to use the stairs that I bought for him so he doesn't wear himself out trying to get on the bed, it won't take much , maybe just a couple of temporary cardboard walls, he will climb on the back of the couch like a cat but give him steps and it's like this isn't the way that we've been doing this for 10 years now so I'm not ready to change my way yet.. and he has a soft landing pad so he doesn't wear out his knee joints etc.

The set is the perfect height for my French Bulldog, the stand is very sturdy, the bowls are easy to remove and it cleans up easily too. I wish it came in a lighter gray and the bowls were bigger but those were more expensive or too tall for our use. I'm completely satisfied.

I highly recommend the "OurPets Comfort Diner Elevated Dog Food Dish". I have a 3-month-old lab/pit mix puppy who just discovered that he loves splashing the water from his bowl all over the kitchen floor, and even picking up the bowl while it's filled with water and flipping it over, and then dragging it around the house. Although it seems like the 4" or 8" size might be more appropriate for a puppy, I took a chance and ordered the largest size, the 12", because I didn't want it to turn out that it was too short and the puppy could still splash. The 12" tall food dish stand turned out to be perfect for the puppy, who stands 15" at the top of the shoulder, and 20" at the top of his head when all 4 paws are on the ground.

The advertised measurements seem correct. The product contains the stand and 2 identical stainless steel bowls, each of which holds approximately 6 1/2 cups of food/water. Bowl measurements: 8 1/2" diameter (wide) and a little under 3" tall. The entire unit is 27" wide and 11" deep (front to back). My measurements are approximations because the puppy kept chewing on the tape measure when I tried to measure anything. ;-)

The bowls lie flush with the top of the stand, well actually just a hint below the stand because there is a small elevated rim around the circumference of it. Each bowl sits in a well (a space) sized just for it, so I don't think that using different sized bowls in the stand would work well.

The only slight flaw to the dog bowls stand in my opinion is that it's extremely lightweight, so I was concerned that the puppy might still shove it around the kitchen. To counter this, I bought the "Darkyazi Pet Feeding Mat Large for Dogs and Cats,24"×16" Flexible and Easy to Clean Feeding Mat,Best for Non Slip Waterproof Feeding Mat" from Amazon at the same time as the stand, and I also put the stand up against a wall. I recommend the mat as well, and it's about the same size as this bowl stand. The stand is just a bit wider so a couple of inches are outside the mat, but it does ensure that the stand doesn't slide.

So far, the puppy has been eating and drinking from the new stand just fine, hasn't splashed any water since I got it, and hasn't tried to move the stand as he used to do with his standalone dog bowls. This was an excellent purchase for me and solved the problems of water on the floor and the noise of the old dog bowls being dragged around.
