Dogit Elevated Dog Bowl, Stainless Steel Dog Food and Water Bowl for Large Dogs, Blue, 73751

I bought the taller one for my cats and it's absolutely purrfect! It's only about 6" off the ground so in my opinion, it's not for a dog. It would be pretty short and small for any dog over like 15lbs. It's absolutely perfect for the kitties though. It's also quite sturdy and has some weight to it to help keep them from knocking it over for funsies. It was a little higher priced than I'd like but I do think it's decent quality and will last us for a long time.

This dish is used for an older medium size Sheltie with some arthritis. It really helps to keep him steady and not have to bend his neck to the floor. I ordered several and as unexpected bonus, I found I could also turn one of the units over and my large steel water dish fits perfectly down inside the open bottom and fully raises the water too. If you do not have the correct size bowl on hand to turn this into an elevated water dish, you could simply take the unit to Wal-Mart and find a steel or plastic mixing bowl that will fit. This is great if you are a matchy-matchy type of person like me since the included removable steel dish is the perfect size for food, but IMO too small for water.The unit is heavy, thick plastic and molded in one piece. It feels substantial, seems durable and is steady on the floor.**SIZING** To help you gauge size, please note that one Sheltie is a medium size dog (Mini Schnauzer / Cocker Spaniel size) and the larger dish is perfect but it is too tall for my other Sheltie who is a smaller dog (Pomeranian size). However, I also own the smaller size unit and it's perfect for the little guys. I think the smaller size would also work for cats, but IMO neither one of these dishes would work for large dogs.I am happy to report that both dogs and human are quite pleased with this product.

If you have a large tall dog, these are perfect. They are very sturdy and cannot fall over easily. I have two of them, for both Collies. Easy to clean as the bowl comes out for cleaning and serving. Better than anything else I have seen available.

The quality of the bowl is actually pretty good and attractive. The plastic is thick and won't topple over even with a full bowl of water. The inner metal bowl could be a tad thicker, but it's good enough. 3-stars are due the good quality in material and production. However, if all you wanted was a regular doggy bowl at height, then this will do. I wanted a bowl to keep my 24lb Cavalier K.C. Spaniel's ears from getting soiled with food or water. I have the large bowl because I needed the volume for holding water in our hot environment. From the reviews I read, the small bowl was not going to work out. The large did not work out as well. The opening is too big and my dog's ears got wet. I guess if he only used the center of the bowl and not the sides, then it could work. Even then it would only work as a water bowl, because food will be eaten along the side as well. Ideally, the bowl should be about an inch smaller at the top and deep enough to hold the same volume. Since it was used and tested, I didn't feel I could send it back to Amazon in good conscience. So we'll continue to use it for his water bowl but not for his food.For his food, we use the small bowl. It works better at keeping his ears from touching food but we still use women’s nylon stockings to keep his ears pinned up. It works well.Here are the dimensions of the item that some may find helpful.Plastic BaseHeight: 6-1/2" from floor to top with bowl in.Top Diameter: 6-3/4" (outside dimension)Top Dia: 6-1/16" (inside dim)Bottom Dia: 4-3/4" (receptacle for bowl)Base Dia: 8-7/8" (has 1/8" high rubber tape to make non-skid)Depth of bowl receptacle: 2-5/8" (tapered)Plastic Wall Thickness: 1/4" (top is 1/16" thicker) (Hollow construction)Weight: ~750g (1.65lbs)Metal BowlTop Dia: 6-9/16" (includes 1/8" lip)Bott Dia: 4-1/2" (inside dim, outside dim similar)Weight: 104gVolume: 3-1/2cups (0.83 liters, filled to brim)

Perfect height for my medium sized dogs. It was comfortable for them to use and was just large enough for their meals. The bowls we already had fit into the top as well, so we can change them out easily.
