Bottom Line

Tops our list for its attractive, heavy-duty bamboo construction that not only looks good, but also helps prevent spills and messes.

Pros

Boasts a modern design with clean lines. Weighty construction is well-balanced and effectively withstands knocks and bumps for a cleaner feeding area. Non-slip base keeps it in place. Open design allows air to circulate, preventing mildew and bacterial growth. Includes two extra bowls. Available in three sizes for small, medium, and large breeds.

Cons

Bamboo requires occasional wiping to prevent permanent water spots.

Bottom Line

With its uniquely ornate design and extra depth, this stand and bowl will have your dog dining in style while minimizing messes at the same time.

Pros

Sturdy wrought iron construction with non-slip feet stays put even when subjected to enthusiastic munching or gulping. Extra deep stainless steel bowl prevents splashes and spills. Both the stand and bowl are dishwasher safe for effortless cleaning. Rounded bowl allows flat-faced dogs to reach every last morsel.

Cons

Comes as a single bowl, so you'll need to purchase two for food and water.

Fully height adjustable to see your pup through every stage of growth. Non-slip pads help reduce skidding. Stainless steel bowls are hygienic and easy to clean.

Cons

It's not as heavy as some, but tipping is easily prevented by placing it against a wall.

Bottom Line

A straightforward elevated feeding system with extra height that effectively reduces joint strain while keeping eating areas neat and tidy.

Pros

A bit taller than most, making it a good choice for larger breeds or dogs with joint problems. Doesn’t slide around the floor. Cute design with bone-shaped cut outs for easy handling. Comes with stick-on foam bumpers to keep bowls from rattling. Easy to clean.

Cons

The stainless steel bowls and plastic legs feel somewhat flimsy.

Bottom Line

A multitasking option that keeps food fresh and close at hand while offering all the benefits of an elevated feeding bowl.

Pros

Whether you're short on storage space or simply like the idea of a more streamlined feeding system, this 2-in-1 design is a solid choice. Airtight container does a good job of keeping kibble fresh and offers extra height at the same time. Stainless steel bowls are easy to clean.

Cons

A bit bulkier than others. Water can accumulate in the top compartment, and may require occasional wiping/drying.

    Veterinarians often recommend elevated dog bowls for geriatric dogs and dogs dealing with various medical conditions. Elevated dog bowls make it simple for dogs to access food and water. Plus, they help facilitate the movement of food and water from a dog's mouth to his or her stomach. Elevated dog bowls are great for dogs with arthritis as well. They reduce stress on a dog's neck, hips, joints and shoulders, and as a result, may help improve a dog's posture. Meanwhile, for dog owners, elevated dog bowls are easy to clean. They won't require you to get on your hands and knees to clean up your dog's feeding area, either.
