Neater Feeder Deluxe

The verdict

Two problems solved by one object. The first is mess: spilled food is caught in the upper tray and spilled water drains into a lower basin, so the corner of the kitchen stops being a permanent puddle — genuinely useful with sloppy drinkers and with dogs who carry kibble out of the bowl. The second is height. Neater Pet Brands describe the raised position as more comfortable and say it can reduce neck and joint strain, which is the sensible reason to consider one for an older dog with a stiff neck or shoulders. Two height settings, stainless bowls, top-rack dishwasher safe throughout. Owners praise the mess containment; the sizing runs small, so check the weight guidance for your dog. Before raising bowls for a large deep-chested dog, ask your vet — the bloat question is genuinely unsettled.

Drawbacks

• Sizing runs small — check the weight guidance
• Raised feeding for large deep-chested dogs is a vet question
