Highlighted Reviews
"Our bigger cat was always pushing the water bowl to the middle of the kitchen floor and making a mess when he did so! The feeder/diner set fixed that as the bowls were snug in the silicon holder and couldn't be moved. By nose or big paws! End of problem!!"
"Good Idea but two month old puppy tore a portion of the base"
Bottom Line
Great for non-slip functionality and cleanup, but be cautious with puppies and aggressive chewers.
