Why Floor Bowls Make a Mess
A dog at a floor bowl splays their front legs and drops their head below their shoulders, which pushes food out over the rim. A cat gets their whiskers folded against the sides. Either way you sweep up afterwards, every day, forever.
Stainless, Because Plastic Keeps the Smell
The inserts are 304 stainless steel. They lift straight out into the dishwasher and come back without the film that builds up inside a plastic bowl, or the faint old-food smell that comes with it.
Why Choose the Wagly Elevated Bowl?
A plastic bowl on the floor is cheap and it works, right up until you notice you sweep under it twice a day and it smells faintly of last week. This is the version you stop thinking about.

Dinner without the mess
Floor Level or Chest Height
Slide to compare the same dog at a floor bowl and at a raised one. Watch the front legs and the angle of the neck.
Get the Height Right
Measure from the floor to the bottom of the neck, where the chest begins, and pick the size that puts the bowl rim near that mark. Between two sizes, take the smaller one. Slightly too low is comfortable. Too high is not.
Questions people actually ask
Which size do I need?
Which size do I need?

Is a raised bowl right for every dog?
Is a raised bowl right for every dog?
No. If you have a large, deep-chested breed, ask your vet first. Published research has linked raised feeders to a higher risk of bloat in those dogs. For cats, small dogs, and older pets with stiff necks or joints, a raised bowl is usually the more comfortable option.
Are the bowls dishwasher safe?
Are the bowls dishwasher safe?
Yes. Both inserts are 304 stainless steel and lift out of the frame, so they go straight in the dishwasher. Wipe the frame down rather than submerging it.
Will it slide across the floor?
Will it slide across the floor?
The legs are set wide, which is most of what stops a bowl travelling. On polished tile with an enthusiastic eater, a mat underneath finishes the job.
Can I use one side for water?
Can I use one side for water?
That is what the two bowls are for. Food on one side, water on the other, and you refill both from standing rather than crouching.
Does it come apart for storage?
Does it come apart for storage?
It is a single frame with two removable inserts, so it only packs down as far as the bowls coming out. It is meant to stay where you put it.
