A simple feeding setup should make food and water easy to access while keeping the surrounding floor manageable. The best arrangement depends on your pet, the room and whether you need a fixed home setup or portable travel option.
Choose a bowl that suits everyday use
For most homes, a straightforward dog bowl or cat bowl is enough. Look for a size that suits the amount of food or water you normally offer and place it somewhere your pet can reach comfortably.
Raised pet bowls
Raised or elevated bowls bring the feeding surface higher off the floor. If you use one, choose a height that still lets your pet eat and drink comfortably rather than reaching or stretching awkwardly.
The Pink or Blue raised feeding bowl is illustrated at approximately 14 cm wide and 10.5 cm high. Compare those dimensions with your pet's current bowl position before choosing.
Food and water feeders
Combined food-and-water feeders can keep two everyday essentials together in one feeding station. Gravity water dispensers can provide a larger water reserve, but they still need regular cleaning and fresh water.
Feeding mats and splash mats
A pet bowl mat can help contain small spills, crumbs and splashes around the feeding area. Quick-dry or easy-clean mats are especially useful around water bowls.
Compare the quick-dry feeding mat for the space around your bowls, checking the available size against your floor area.
Travel bowls and portable water
Collapsible bowls and portable water bottles are useful for walks, car journeys and days out. Keep travel equipment clean and refresh drinking water regularly.
Keep the setup clean
- Wash food bowls after meals where appropriate.
- Refresh drinking water regularly.
- Clean water-dispenser components before residue builds up.
- Wipe or wash feeding mats when food or water collects on them.
- Replace damaged bowls or accessories.
