Thanks to Neater Feeder for sending us a large Neater Feeder with leg extensions to try with our pup!
We have a Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff). She is a messy eater and SO sloppy with her water. We also have a really small back room, which happens to be the room in which we homeschool, have our dining table, and keep the pet food bowls. Surprisingly, the dog and cat share a food bowl and not in the way you expect. The cat will eat the dog food even when he has cat food available! So backwards I know! There isn’t a whole lot of space back in that room. It is quite small! So, the fact that our pup is so sloppy really takes its toll on us. She sloshes water EVERYWHERE when she drinks, and when she lifts her head it just drips all over! During our homeschool day I am sitting right beside the food bowls, and the kids will complain about stepping in water when walking over to me – or worse, they’ll slip on it! Plus, when there is food on the floor combined with the water it makes a nasty mess that I have to scrub hard to get off our linoleum floors if I don’t catch it immediately. It is AWFUL. Not to mention, if it isn’t our pup making the mess one of US might kick the food or water bowl and spill it!
So, I knew I was really going to put Neater Feeder to the test! I have seen the pictures and watched the videos. I could tell it was great at containing messes, but I still had a concern about the water that drops when she lifts her head. Well, I am happy to report, we have had NO messes since we started using the Neater Feeder! No food messes, no water on the floor, nothing! The food stays along the edges of the bowl, which either she or the cat will eat, and the water drips below into the reservoir for easy clean up! That’s it! All we have to do is dump out the lower reservoir every few days! That’s it! It’s dishwasher safe as well, though I have found it’s quicker just to clean it by hand! I also love that it has the leg extensions so it has a nice height for our “beast.” She has actually been more comfortable as she has been eating as well. We used to have an elevated feeder, but we stopped using it because when she would get sloppy with the water it would go underneath the bowl and make everything really slimy and disgusting. The upkeep was too much. So the Neater Feeder has solved two problems: our pup now has an elevated feeder again AND the mess is now contained. I am very happy with the Neater Feeder!
