The 10 Best Raised Cat Bowls
Special Honors
Hankko Station If you're new to raised feeders and don't know what height or angle is best for your cat, the Hankko Station may provide a solution. Side levers allow you to adjust the table to your pet's specifications by lowering, raising, or tilting the bowls. The artistically designed feeder is constructed from birch wood and shaped like a cat. etsy.com
Orthopedic Cat Bowl For kitties that eat too quickly the Orthopedic Cat Bowl may be a good option. This slow feeder has small areas for food instead of one big space. It is designed to require more effort from your cat for each bite, which helps prevent gagging and vomiting caused by eating too fast. amazinglycat.com
Editor's Notes
September 11, 2020:
When cats aren't chasing lasers or napping, they're probably eating. While responsible pet owners know a healthy diet is of the utmost importance for your cat, it may be surprising to learn that choice of feeder can affect your pet's health too.
Elevated cat bowls have been known to alleviate neck strain, prevent gagging, and support proper digestion. Additionally, they encourage a healthier eating position, which helps protect the cervical spine. Due to the array of health benefits, these dishes are particularly suited to older cats, and kitties suffering from arthritis or stomach issues.
If your cat is allergy prone, it's best to avoid plastic because it may cause a reaction known as feline acne. Stick with stainless steel options, like the Petfusion Stand or the Petkit Cybertail. If you're opposed to man-made materials and prefer a natural base, the YY Foreyy Feeder or the Lepet Box are good choices.
If you have a multi-cat household, some options are suited to dual-use, including the MushroomCat Feeder, which incorporates spaced bowls, and the Lepet Box, which comes with four bowls. If you have several cats, you're bound to have a lot of cat food, and the Iris USA Small Feeder will keep your plethora of back up kibble fresh.
If ease and convenience are the most important factors, you may want to skip hand washing and pick a dishwasher-safe option, like the Necoichi Receptacle or the Neater Feeder Express.
