"Arrived intact & it's lasted great for the month we've had it. The bowl is quite large & the high sides help keep our elderly kitty from pushing her food over the sides as she licks at it! Very cute & seasonal."

— Rudi

"These were sooo cute. Waited for sometime for them to arrive. At first glace, noticed the orange mushroom and red were made differently. The orange one was one piece but the red stem and bowl looked like 2 pieces. The red look more authenticly mushroom than the orange. Just washing it this morning ..."

Bottom Line

While the design is charming, the durability issues make this bowl a risky purchase. It's best to look for more robust options if you want a long-lasting feeder for your pet.
