Highlighted Reviews
"This is perfect for my pit bull that is having a lot of arthritic pain in his back legs and hips. I didn’t realize how much pressure it takes off his joints. He now doesn’t have to lean down to eat. It’s also really nice to not have the bowls on the floor. The storage is great too."
"Got it together except the doors. The magnet that should hold the doors closed can't be installed because the holes were drilled incorrectly. Will probably trash this and find something simpler & cheaper"
Bottom Line
