With smartphone programming, you can control your pet's mealtimes from anywhere with the PetSafe Smart Feed Automatic Dog and Cat Feeder. With the free smart app, you can set up to 12 meals to feed on your pet's schedule, set flexible portion sizes, and receive alerts when the food level is low and when your pet has been fed. There's even a Slow Feed setting to dispense meals in small amounts over 15 minutes for pets who tend to eat too quickly. This pet feeder is great for giving you peace of mind.

Customer Review: “The app is great at alerting you of any issues like the food is low, or empty. It also lets you know every time it has fed your pet and it is extremely simple to operate and change portion sizes etc. Simple to do the initial set up and if one day they eat all their food (more than usual) it’s simple to give them an additional portion through the app or by pressing the button on the machine! Very impressed! No issues with it so far.”

These bowls hold up to 900g each, good for all dry and wet food, treats and kibble. This rust-resistant stainless steel bowl offers a better alternative to plastic – as it doesn’t hold odours and will endure even the sharpest of gnashers. Plus, the bowl won’t tip or slide away and will protect floors.

Customer Review: “These bowls were stable, easy to clean, didn’t tip over, good price and the dog thought they were just what was needed. Though he (Labrador with appetite) wouldn’t mind if they were twice the size! I recommend them, they fulfil all the requirements and clean lines make them easy to wash. The pack contained two bowls, an added bonus.”

Made from bamboo and stainless steel, the FOREYY Bamboo Elevated Raised Dog Bowls could suit your pup well. Some vets agree that a raised pet holder can place less strain on your dog’s neck, hips, shoulders and joints, which can promote better posture. So, these bowls can facilitate easy swallowing and much better digestion. They’re anti-slip, easy to clean and water-resistant, too. However, not all experts agree - and some have concerns about bloating.

Take a Break Pets recommends that you do some research on elevated and/or raised bowls before you buy – to see if they’re a good fit for your pooch. Speak to your vet if you need any more questions answered.

Customer Review: “Beautiful and simple design that fits in any room. The stainless steel keeps water fresh. No need to spend money on a fountain. The bowls are wide, so they can eat easily. Love everything about it.”

Customer review: "I bought this for my Jack Russell as she looked uncomfortable eating from a bowl on the floor and it's really so much better for her. She now eats a lot slower & clears her bowl. I am really pleased with the quality & the height of the bowls."

With a narrow opening to keep ears away, this bowl is perfect for any long-eared friend. It’s great for food and water, too. This stylish beige bowl makes the perfect addition to mealtimes as it keeps your pup’s long ears away from the bowl, which means less mess. Plus, it won't move about when they're tucking in.

Customer Review: “Bought this as a drinking bowl for my Spaniel. It’s a good weighty bowl that won't get knocked over. My only negative is that the pattern looks like something from my own crockery set that I've just put on the floor, would be better with dogs or bones as a pattern.”

This smaller double set from Amazon contains two stainless-steel bowls with a non-slip silicone mat to support them. For food and water, your pup’s thirst will be quenched, and its tummy will be full. We couldn’t think of a better bowl set for a smaller dog.
