I am a fan of ZoliPet products: they cost more, but the engineering design and quality are well worth it. For example, PetKit’s stainless water fountain is easily ten times easier to clean and the water filtration is superb, as opposed to a cheaper, all plastic model I initially bought. The price is high, but it’s a game changer.

For reference, we have 5 cats: one 12, two 4 year olds, and 2 kittens. When offered a chance to try this bowl system, I accepted, as my plastic two bowl molded one-piece cheapie thing had gotten pretty beat up, and to be honest, wasn’t easy to clean anymore.

I’ve used this for a little less than a week, and I can recommend it for all cats. Here’s what I found:

1.) Quality: up to ZoliPet’s higher standards. Sturdy solid plastic frame, well-turned bowls with no finishing defects. There was a little dust on the frame, probably from packaging: easily wiped off, although I always do a quick wash on new food containers for cats anyway. (Not for mine, though, go figure!)

2.) Size: the platform is substantial but not overwhelming. It’s not dainty, and neither are my cats. The size actually catches most spills. It has a small lip around the edge of the plastic base that prevents most dry food from flying on the rest of the floor. Tiny Wet food particles will stick to the plastic as much as any other platform, so no difference there. The larger size may help the four rubber pads on the bottom keep their grip. And these pads aren’t the cheap kind that fall off.

3.) Bowl size and design. The bowls are a little larger than other bowls, having a more rounded base than the typical flat base. Because of the angle option, this meant I was able to use the usual portion size and not have it spill out. Yay!

4.) How the angle is achieved: so this is kind of cool. Both bowls are built like stand-mixer bowls: put the small “foot” underneath the bowl into the base’s hole and give a 1/4 turn and it’s “locked” in. Untwisting is easy for those of us with opposable thumbs, not cats. Even better, there are TWO settings! There is a second hole just below and overlapping with the first (so it looks like a figure 8, or a Venn Diagram), that can be used to set the bowls FLAT/LEVEL. That’s just cool. I used the flat for water and the angle for food, just for testing purposes, and no problems of uneven weight, spills, etc.

5.) Effects of the angle: so I’d be fine recommending this system if it were just flat, so the angle is an added bonus. I am no vet and my cats’ digestion is just fine overall, but the twelve year old regurgitates his food once every month or so, so I got this for him to see if it helps. We’ll see.

Now, there are some kittens born with a condition called Megaesophagus (go online and check this out) and having them eat at a raised angle is supposed to help. Again, I am NOT a vet: I just saw a video where a one-off system was made. This reminds me of it, and if it works, how cool that everyone who needs one can get one! That said, I don’t have a way to test this, but the concept is there.

There is only one problem if this is the concept: my cats swarmed, and the kittens actually ate from the Tall side! Thus defeating the purpose. There’s a common-sense fix to this: put it against against a wall. The older cats knew what was up and ate from the lower side. I just noticed this because I had it out in the middle of the room to see if it moved. My bad. What I’ll do now is make this the 12 year olds exclusive bowl and see if it helps. If I had just two cats, this wouldn’t be a problem.

Even if your cat doesn’t have an extreme medical issue, it’s a very good food bowl system with a lot of options and great quality. If you need a new bowl and want to get something that will last, I’d recommend this.

I bought these stainless steel pet bowls, because I kept dropping and breaking the ceramics ones. This definitely doesn’t have the issue of cracking.

I’ll have to use this more to see if it really is stainless, but so far so good!
I like that you can choose to have the bowls at a different angle, which is helpful for shorter dogs. The bowls are a bit on the smaller side, so it may not work for big dogs, but it works great for the amount of food I give my 17 lb dog.

It’s been working great for us and I love how minimalistic it looks. It’s also very easy to clean, so that’s also a plus!

Nice set. Looks clean and nice in feeding area. I prefer metal bowels because of the hype using plastic. I also think it cleans better.

Only negative is I wish bowels were at least one inch higher. My Brussels Griffon dog weighs about 10 lbs. His legs are not short for the breed.

UPDATE: I’m upgrading this review from 3 to 5 stars. After writing the original review, the company contacted me for more information about the problem. I provided a detailed description with photos and they responded quickly, saying a new base would be sent to me. Today I received the replacement, not just the base but a totally new unit with bowls. It works perfectly and I’m impressed with their excellent customer service.

Original Review: I bought this for the ability to tilt the bowls, and my cat really likes eating from them. However, one of the bowls has never locked into place properly. The base is plastic and the bowls are metal; I assume the problem is that they don’t line up properly. One bowl is fine, but the other doesn’t stay in place.

My dog was very excited to try this out and he really liked it. The bowls are shiny and very pretty. My only concern is that the base is plastic and lightweight the base tends to move around instead of staying in one place I wish it was made of a heavier material. Item was not fully stainless steel from top to bottom considering the price. The angle of the bowl is perfect. My dog is able to drink more water.

This worked very well when my cat was spayed and had to wear a donut around her neck. It made eating so much easier for her. She still uses it -- very easy to clean.

Really really REALLY nice. I love that you can screw it in and it’s magnetized so it’s not going anywhere.
Got this for my kitty that has to wear a cone, much easier to use when they’re angled (:

Better than expected! Sizing is perfect. Very amazed with this purchase.
Highly recommend.

Flat faced pups and Frenchie parents - these are the bowls for you! My little frenchie has always struggled to empty a bowl of food without help. She couldn't get into the crevice of her other bowls and I would have to scoop everything to the center over and over again. I just recently started looking for new bowls and this popped up as a recommendation. These bowls are great! They hold just enough food and water for a smaller dog (and assuming they'd work for cats) My pup is a gorgeous 25lbs and gets about one cup at meal time. The round bowl allows her to finish her food without our help getting kibble/food out of the corners. The holder cleans up easily too. I read some complaints about water spilling out and I haven't had this issue. I wish I discovered years ago!

The boys love it. You can adjust the tilt of the bowls. Another reviewer mentioned the bowl edges were sharp. I agree they are somewhat sharp but the cats don't encounter the edges when they feed. Has not been an issue for me yet, and I wash the bowls daily.

At first I wasn't sure about this when opening, like reviews mentioned the base doesn't have the feel that you may imagine from the pictures, it's pretty lightweight, it's not cheap plastic, but you feel it could be something more substantial, metal even, though that would jump the price somewhat. Then I wasn't sure about the bowls, the rims felt sharp and twisting the bowls in and out wasn't super comfortable. However once I started to use it day to day, I really started to appreciate the design, especially over my previous solution of having 2 separate bowls. Now I can just pick up the whole thing, take to the sink, wash, and fill the bowls. You don't really have to take the bowls out, I do it maybe once a week, and now I know how to without feeling those sharp edges, once I got used to the twisting, it's actually pretty easy.

We have a silicon mat, and haven't found any issue with the bowls slipping around so far, in that regard its sturdy enough, and visually it looks good, you only notice the material when you pick it up.

Initially I was concerned about the bowls being so close together, our 2 cats can be somewhat frenemies and a bit territorial when it comes to food, but so far had no issues with the bowls being close.

A few more color options or maybe the option for a metal base, and it'd be an easy 5 stars for me. Otherwise if you like the look of it, and want an all in one dual bowl option, this is an easy recommendation. The option to tilt the bowls is great, I have noticed far less throwing up than before, don't know if I can attribute that solely to the bowls, but something to point out.

I ended up getting these after trying the NeaterFeeder which didn’t work out. I love that these have a simpler design, they do not slip or move around, the height is perfect for my small 10 pound terrier mix, and it allows my dog to eat much easier without getting food all over the floor or walls. The tilt is an awesome feature and it’s nice to have a regular non-tilt option built in as well.

The bowls are dishwasher safe and are easy to pop into place once you’ve done it a couple of times. I highly recommend!

Well made - perfect for cats that like the lick their food up the side of the bowl, now there is no more mess outside of the bowl.

After watching how my cats ate for awhile I figured out what the optimal height would be for them to eat without straining themselves so much (one of my cats gets on the feeble side at times and; he needs every bit of extra love he can get.) I looked at a lot of products similar to this, but their height was always too tall (seemingly, built for the needs of dogs despite being labeled for cats.) The bowls I got here are perfect. They have the posture to eat with minimal straining.

I got my aging dog something similar that was appropriate for his build, and he seemed to really like it (no more wobbling to stoop down to eat.) So, I really believe that cats & dogs both do better with tilted/raised bowls. Pets don't have words to express themselves; we must listen to their body language to hear what they say. I'm well pleased with the makers of the cat bowls.

Works well. Seems to do well for our cat that easily throws up right after eating. 🙄

We ordered this for the feral cat our late dog, Zoey more or less 'adopted' just about a month before she passed. ;-(

We had been feeding the cat out of small glass bowls and needed something more substantial that we could put out on the porch. It'd working just fine. The design is nice in that it is slanted downward, which makes it easy for the cat to feed from it.

So yes, I'd recommend this as a good choice for feeding your cat.

I live for this bowl. It’s easy to clean, easy for my medium sized dog to use. It makes his room still look nice even though feeding can be very messy. It’s never fallen off the stand. It’s unlikely to spill. It’s just a really good product. I would buy again with a quickness.

I have been looking for a new pair of bowls for our small dog. She is 10 lbs and I love that we can adjust the position of the bowls for easy access.

These bowls are aesthetically pleasing but have a cheap feel. The base is made of plastic which is not the most durable, but given the size, one wouldn’t typically expect these to be abused so they would serve the purpose of feeding smaller pets. Because they are lightweight, the male kitten in the house is able to move them around while trying to get fallen pieces of kibble from around them.

The stainless-steel bowls are lightweight. They are two pieces, a bowl with an undetachable part that screws into the plastic base. My fear is that the base will strip out with the constant removal and resetting of the bowls when they are fed each day.

The bowls are placed so closely together that sometimes food gets in the water bowl making it unappealing to the cats who like their water from a bowl.

We’ve only been using them for six days now and so far, the cats have not experienced any vomiting with the level of elevation this provides. That’s a win in itself. They were not hesitant about using the bowls and took to them immediately. I pray these are more durable than they appear to be because I really like them.

Cat luvs the bowls , no more sliding around , easier to ear from

Perfect feeding solution so my 2 cats can eat from their own bowl. I’m probably going to order another one for their water.

Totally pleased with this product. After reading an article that explained how the inevitable scratches in a plastic food bowl can be a source of bacteria if not thoroughly scrubbed out (possibly causing more scratches), and recommending the use of stainless steel bowls instead, it made sense to me. I've been using the same double-sided plastic bowl since I rescue my cat 5 years ago, and indeed, it was filled with tiny scratches, most probably caused by chopping up his pate soft food in the bowl with a spoon. The description of this item also made sense. Having the bowls tilted at a 15 degree angle allowed him to eat without bending his neck, allowing the food to go into his stomach easier, and thus helping in digestion. On occasion I've come across some throw up that mostly contained solid kibble, almost as if the food was collecting in his throat while eating, and not even getting anywhere close to his stomach. I've yet to experience any of this since using the ZoliPet. The base is solidly constructed, and the rubber stoppers in the bottom corners anchor the base nicely to the tile floor. The bowls are easily removed for cleaning with a slight twist, and a slight twist secures them back in place. They can be secured in either the tilted position, or horizontally, if wanted.

Overall, this is a wonderful item. I thought my cat, being picky like most cats, would possibly have issues with adjusting to a new bowl setup. No way. He took to it happily right from the first feeding.

These bowls look great and are very good quality. It is easy to put them in the stand and then twist and lock them into place. I saw some reviews where people said they had a problem with that part. I think maybe people are over tightening when they twist. I have not had any problem getting them in or taking them out. The bowls are made of stainless steel and they are very easy to clean. My dog used to get food everywhere when he ate, I don’t have that problem now. My dog is 20 lbs and gets a 1/2 cup of food twice a day. Even the smaller size of these bowl seems big when his food is in it, but maybe that’s why I don’t have a mess anymore when he eats. The bowls are really good for giving him enough water though! The stand is also good looking, and way to clean. All in all, this is a really great product!

Two cats, one likes to tip over the water bowl, daily. This product solves that problem, excellent! The bowls twist in place with an easy turn, so the cat can't move it and tip it over.

Honestly the height should probably be a little higher to have the digestion benefit you look for in tilted elevated cat bowls , BUT my kittens have not managed to spill anything a single time since I got these bowls. That makes life soooooo much easier. I’d say it’s good quality , can hold more than a cup of food easy with the depth of the one I got. Good design overall.

Though I was sure I was going to get this particular bowl set, I was kind of expecting that the bowls would be difficult to remove and replace. I was very wrong. Once you remove the bowls from the stand (to remove the plastic), it's very easy to see that there are two spots to lock in the box: one for a tilted bowl and one for a level bowl. Also very nice to have the choice of leveled still. You barely have to turn the bowl to lock in (clockwise) or remove (counterclockwise). I even have the water bowl tilted and there is no issue of the water spilling out, as long as I don't try to fill to the very brim.

One of my cats always had a weird habit of shaking his head after picking up some kibble, which would result in kibbles falling out of his mouth and scattered all around the bowl area. For some reason, he's stopped doing that since switching over to this bowl set. I expected both cats to be apprehensive about the new bowls, but they don't care at all and seem to like them. They're very clearly not craning their necks now.

As others have mentioned, there is a print on the inside of the bowl which I assume to be an indicator of the material used. It's very small and not bothersome at all. We've only had this bowl set for a week so we'll see how they hold up over time, but it seems like they'll last and continue to be in good shape for a long time.

My poor kitty had to have his eye removed due to glaucoma, so he has to wear a cone for two weeks. I’ve never had an animal with a cone before but oh my goodness. He’s very unbalanced as it is because he’s getting used to one eye, so imagine the headache with water and food bowls, and then add the cone around his head. This product makes it so he can get his head in easily around the bowl with the cone, and the bowls are tightened so he can’t spill it. The bottom has little silicone pads so it doesn’t move on hardwood either. I’m so glad this shipped in one day, because he spilled his water bowl at least four times in one day. And since he’s having a hard time seeing, he’s constantly searching around for his bowls and this helps tremendously to hold them in place. If you have a cat with a cone (or will be getting a cone) get this nooow!!!

Keeps my kitty from spilling her water just as I hoped.

Since I've gotten this, my cat now no longer gets sick after having a meal. I was reccomended this for her and its like night and day. I should of done this sooner. I just ordered another one for my other kitty, she doesn't have an issue but I feel like this elevated position of the bowls is just better overall for them. I would 100% reccomend to any cat owner!

I recently got a new puppy and he kept flipping over his water and food bowls. I have a smaller cockapoo (under 18lbs) so I wanted to keep smaller bowls but ones that would not easily flip over. The quality and sturdiness is there. You get two stainless steel bowls and a plastic base.
With the ease of a twist, the bowls are ready for cleaning by removing them from the base.
If you’re looking for small and affordable, I think you will be satisfied with your purchase here.

This cat bowl is solid and straightforward. It’s easy to use, holds up well, and gets the job done without any fuss.

Love that these are metal, no worries about retaining odors or bacteria. Also love the tilt and width of these bowls.. seems to provide for better posture while eating while the width doesn't smash whiskers.

Lots of reviewers had issues with the base snapping off and that was a concern for us prior to purchase. Well, we're pretty handy and decided to just be gentle. So, I've removed the bowls daily for washing and just don't (and don't need to) twist too hard when putting them back on. So far, so good for the month they've been in use. Still, should the base break off, it looks as though that could be easily repaired with a little epoxy or a good glue (would probably go with JB Weld, and who knows, the repair might be better than original.) All that said, for the time we've had them, there is no sign of weakening.

I love how the balls fit into place snuggly so they don’t move. Such a nice idea.

DO IT!! I will go ahead and save you the research! EASY SETUP. If you read reviews or watch the video that says it doesn't lock in...well I think has more to do with the person assembling rather than the product, sorry to say. I searched for a couple days for the perfect elevated/raised kitty bowls! I didn't know if I wanted them to be separate or one unit. I didn't know if I wanted ceramic or silver! After much I thought I decided on this set and I do not regret it one bit. My cat is almost 16 years old and I'm attempting to make the best of the rest of her life! Shes got very little teeth left so on top of the tender dry kibble I give her to graze on all day I serve her broth type wet food/bisque twice a day to make sure she gets as much protein as she can. I put dry kibble in one side and wet food in the other and she's a set! I've never been able to keep her water near her food cause she likes to play splash. She loves it!!! Shes pretty dang finicky too and was not hesitant to her new dishware. Overall very impressed with the easy clean and sleek look. Again JUST DO IT! Go ahead and buy it!

I ordered 6 of these for my cats, they like to swim before they drink which has made a mess for years. These bowls have worked, even on carpet my cats are not tipping them over!

These bowls are perfect for my cats. The bowls are a great quality stainless steel. They are easy to put on the base and remove…can be done with one hand with no issues. I use them both slanted and flat with both positions doing what I need. I already ordered some extra bowls. Great value and the height works fine for my cats.

These dog bowls look great, very sleek. They don’t slip at all when your dog is eating. I have 4 frenchies and they are the perfect height for them. Definitely worth the money!!

We have two cats, and one is susceptible to hairballs and vomiting from anxiety/stress eating.
I keep one set for each cat, and purchased the extra bowls. One bowl in the set holds dry food, and the second their daily ration of canned food.
One morning I had forgotten to wash their extra bowls, so I used the old bowls that sit directly on the floor to put the canned food in.
Now these two felines normally circle the bed like sharks in the early hours of the morning demanding food. And when I get up its like running from landlocked pirahnas until I give them their canned food.
So back to putting their canned food in their old bowls... I got stares that threatened death and they refused to eat their most sacred of foods out of the old bowls. I was shocked. So I washed their new bowls and put the food in them. My limbs are still in tact and the cats were pleased.
All silliness aside, my cats love them and it has helped with my little tortie point siamese whom is prone to hairballs and stress eating. And yes, they really do refuse to eat their food out of other bowls. They aren't spoiled or anything, I promise. ;)

I watched one of my girls eat out of these this morning. Her neck and body are in perfect alignment. Both of my Bengal girls have issues with regurgitation. These are very nicely made, sturdy, and the bowls are easy to adjust at a straight or raised angle. So far very impressed and would recommend these. I will be watching my girls over the next week to see if it improves with vomiting issues. I purchased another set last week and had to return it because the bowls were very small. These balls are perfect size, stainless steel. Very easy to clean and take apart. The platform stays put and it’s also very sturdy. I bought one set for each of my girls.
They are a bit territorial, and like to eat separately.

These bowls are perfect for your furry baby who has lost their front teeth. It is easy for them to eat their meals since it is slanted forward and the bowl is rounded. Would recommend.

I PURCHASED THIS BOWL SET THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO TILT FOR MY LITTLE DOG WHO HAS AN ISSUE WITIH TRACHEAL COLLAPSE AND THIS TILT HAS GREATLY HELPED. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL, STURDY, WELL DESIGNED WITH QUALITY MATERIALS. IT IS SUPER EASY TO ASSEMBLE, AND CLEAN. YOU CAN EITHER HAVE THE BOWLS TILT OR NOT TILT. LOOKS SUPER CLEAN AND KEEPS FOOD AND WATER IN THE BOWL.

Works great my cat love it

My husband mistook the sizevavd ordered for my dog!

My cat got lucky and she uses them. Neat, simple, classy , functional, light and easy to adjust. Would recommend.

i've used all kinds of bowls over time for my 2 cats. plastic (until i learned it was the reason for cat acne), raised, tilted, small, big, ceramic, glass, stainless steel, you name it. but this thing is awesome. my one cat eats from left to right in his bowl and my other cat eats from the top and yells at me if any part of the bottom of the bowl starts to show. they now each have their own bowl in this thing and they are just so dang happy, munchin away. cheers to this thing, it's super easy to clean and the tilting feature is super cool too!

Great Product! Smooth Transaction!

My cat likes it!

Decent set for small dog. Like a really really small dog. Like a dog so small you could throw it like a baseball.

I love everything about these bowls, mostly of the fact that you were able to Adjust the bowls For the comfort of the cat-These balls are super sturdy and they’re actually pretty big in size which is nice when you have a fat lazy cat-I think they definitely bang because they are stainless steel, which is definitely an upgrade from ceramic or plastic or anything. You’re feeding your cat in.

Buddy’s had these bowls for more since 9/4. He has a history of vomiting and his recent bouts prompted the purchase. Stainless steel bowls are good for his chin acne. We placed some treats in his food for the 1st time to make sure there were no issues with him rejecting the bowls.

Virtually no food splatter leaving the area dramatically cleaner allowing us to soon remove splatter screen we’ve had in place for many years. He eats for shorter periods of time rather than inhaling his food.

He only had 2 incidents of vomiting about 2 weeks apart, but it was mostly wet food, not dry food in the left bowl. After observation we found he was eating his wet food standing off the mat from the side of the bowl, defeating the purpose of the tilt. Added a partition to keep him from eating from the wrong side. Voilà!

Received 2 replacement bowls today making it easy to always have a clean bowl ready for feeding.

This is a nicely made and sturdy cat feeder. Well designed and just the right size. On to the caveat, the cat is terrified of it. I washed it and put some of the cat's food in it, but when the cat approched and saw it, he leaped a couple of feet in the air and took off. Being a cat, he came back out of curiosity and proceeded to take five minutes of "two steps forward, one step back" cautious approch until close enough to get a good look at it. Then he ran out of the room at full speed and wouldn't come back. I have no idea why he reacted that way to it but he still won't come anywhere near it. As far as I can tell, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this product and just chalk up my cat's rejection to his particular cat weirdness. I will find someone with a less crazy cat to give it to.
