Elevated Stainless Steel Cat Food Bowl

Are you looking for the perfect cat bowl for your feline friend? It might surprise you that where your cat eats can make a massive difference for your kitty. As pet parents, it’s our job to ensure our cats can drink and eat comfortably. We love elevated cat bowls for this very reason.

Read on to learn about the benefits of raised cat bowls and why they’re the best choice for your cat’s feeding station.

The Importance Of An Elevated Eating Surface

Elevated food and water bowls are designed to make your cat’s mealtime more enjoyable and comfortable. Raised cat bowls allow your cat to eat and drink from their natural position, which makes it easier to reach it’s food. Raised bowls also prevent your cat from eating too fast. In addition, by encouraging your cat to chew more thoroughly, an elevated bowl helps reduce digestive issues, vomiting, and gas and prevents other health issues like a dental disease.

How Elevated Should The Cat Food Bowl Be?

As you can probably guess, the perfect height and best place for cat food bowls depends on the size of your cat. One way to determine the ideal height of your raised bowl is by making sure there are about 4-6 inches between the floor and the top of the bowl when it’s filled with food or water. This height is excellent because it allows your cat to eat or drink food and water without bending down too far.

It’s also important to consider the weight of your cat. If your pet weighs less than 5 pounds, a medium-sized raised cat bowl should do the trick, as your kitty won’t be able to eat from deep dishes anyway.

Here are the top 5 benefits of having an elevated cat food bowl with stainless bowls:

They Make Eating Easier

Did you know that some cats find reaching down in a bowl challenging? Having an elevated position eliminates this problem. In addition, the tilted design of raised pet bowls has higher edges which means that your cat can enjoy easy access to food and water without bending over too much.

They Reduce Neck Pain and Joint Pain

Unfortunately, bending down to eat can put unwanted pressure on their joints and muscles, leading to pain and discomfort. The good news is that giving your cat elevated food allows them to maintain an upright posture instead of bending over as they would with a low-height bowl. This helps reduce neck pain, joint pain, and back problems. Plus, an elevated cat feeder can support increased food intake because it takes the pressure off their joints.

They Create Less Spillage

As cat parents, you’ll appreciate a tidier eating area – precisely what elevated cat food promotes. In addition, cats drink less often when their bowl is above ground level, reducing the chance of them spilling water on the surrounding floor – thank goodness for cat placemats! So if you have multiple cats who share space at meal times, raised water bowls are the ideal choice for giving your pets food and water.

They’re Better for Older Cats

As you might imagine, many older cats suffer from joint problems that can make it difficult to bend down low enough to consume food and water from a bowl on the floor. A raised pet food bowl lets your cat get food without straining its body.

They Reduce Whisker Fatigue and Support Digestive Health

This occurs when your cat’s whisker hairs contact an object or detect movement. Because whiskers act as high-powered antennae that pull signals into their brain and nervous system, this can cause significant stress for your cat. Elevated cat bowls allow your cat to eat stress-free while promoting better digestion.  No more acid reflux and throwing up!

The Best Raised Cat Bowl

When shopping for your cat, why not choose a sustainable cat bowl that will not only last forever but will stay germ-free and can be recycled or repurposed at the end of its use?
