AnimAll Bowl Metal White, 420 ml is a raised bowl for cats, dogs and rabbits from the AnimAll brand. The elevated dish helps your pet keep good posture while eating, reduces strain on the neck and spine, and cuts down on swallowed air and gas. According to the manufacturer, it also keeps things tidier: less food spills and water splashes less often. It holds 420 ml, is made of metal and plastic, and is white.
Why a raised bowl
Eating from a floor bowl means a pet has to bend its head and neck a lot. That's fine for young, healthy animals, but for older or larger pets and those with neck, back or joint problems, a raised bowl makes eating easier. Many cats and dogs also swallow less air with a raised bowl, so they get bloated less often. More on choosing bowls in dog and cat bowls: how to choose.

Choosing the height
The manufacturer suggests going by your pet's elbow height, so the neck stays straight with the head tilted slightly down. Cats and small dogs usually need only a little lift; large dogs need taller stands. Since this model's height isn't stated, check it with a consultant before buying.
Who benefits most
Older cats and dogs with arthritis or neck pain, pets with digestive issues and fast, greedy eaters. Flat-faced cats and dogs may also find a raised bowl comfortable if the dish is wide enough. On age-related changes, see senior cats: diet and care and senior dogs: diet and care.
Bowl material
A metal dish is hygienic, odour-free and easy to wash, while a plastic stand keeps it light. Plastic parts can scratch over time, so wash them with a soft sponge. If plastic gives your cat chin irritation, choose an all-metal or ceramic bowl such as the CROCI Bamboo or Trixie Oval Bowl.
Care
Wash the dish after every wet-food meal and daily with dry food. Wipe the stand with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges on plastic. A mat underneath keeps the floor clean — for example the Pet Food Mat.
Food and water
The bowl works for food or water. Many cats drink more readily when water is kept apart from food, so two bowls are handy. Change the water twice a day — more in how much water a cat should drink.
Who it suits
Owners of cats, small dogs and rabbits — especially older pets or those with neck and back problems — who want to make mealtimes more comfortable. More models are in the cat bowls and dog bowls and feeders sections.
Verdict
The AnimAll Bowl Metal White 420 ml is a raised bowl that helps your pet eat with a straight neck, reduces spinal strain and keeps things tidier. A good choice for older cats and small dogs. The downsides are that the stand height and bowl material details aren't given, and the description is rather generic.
