Super

I am a fan of PetKit 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 PetKit’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.

Miski bardzo solidnie wykonane, możliwość zamontowania na płasko lub pod kątem. Solidna jakość metalu i plastiku. Bardzo ładnie się prezentują.

The build quality is good for the bowls and made of stainless steel which is very easy to clean. Have used other feeling bowels in the past and the food just sticks to it making very difficult to clean. It is easy to remove and fix and give you two angles to fit in. I usually wet the tissue and scoop out the residue and then use a dry tissue to clean and dry. Its wide enough and good for feline with big whiskers.

Cogimos este producto porque uno de nuestros gatos no dejaba de mover el bol para el agua, así que pensamos que este no podría moverlo, ha dejado de hacerlo no sabemos muy bien porqué pero si quisiera podría hacerlo, porque aunque tiene unas tapitas de silicona antideslizantes tampoco es que sea imposible. El diseño es muy bonito y son de buena calidad, tanto los bol de acero inoxidable como la base de plástico, son fáciles de quitar y poner en la base y la limpieza es sencilla. Me gusta que se puedan inclinar si quieres aunque no lo hago en el del agua para que quepa un poco más. tengo varios productos de Petkit y estoy contenta con todos ellos.
