What are the advantages of an automatic waterer?
Pets that stay hydrated remain healthier. Pets are more likely to drink from a bowl of fresh, clean water than from a stagnant source.
An automatic waterer requires no separate water line and uses little electricity. The water continuously circulates through a filter, keeping the water fresher, more aerated, and free of bacteria to keep your pet coming back for more and more.

Would you recommend an elevated feeder?
Veterinarians recommend elevated feeders for dogs and cats for a number of reasons: hygiene and cleanliness, comfort for dogs and cats with arthritis or neck or back problems, and for the benefits to cats and dogs with megaesophagus or other conditions that make swallowing difficult. If your dog is at risk for developing bloat (gastric dilation and volvulus - GDV), contact your veterinarian before using an elevated feeder for your dog.

How can I prevent my dog from sliding his dish all over the room?
Find a dog bowl with rubber feet on the bottom to keep it from slipping as your dog eats. To prevent water from splashing out, you may wish to consider a bowl that contains a lip around the top edge to prevent spill-out when the bowl is bumped.
