Necoichi Porcelain (Ceramic) Elevated Cat Food Bowl (Fuji, Regular Flat)

I purchased a number of Necoichi ceramic elevated bowls when I adopted my kitten nine years ago. They are still in perfect condition. I enjoy everything about them-- the fact that they are elevated, their sturdiness, ceramic style, and simple, beautiful lines. Oh, and I like that they are made in Japan, which consistently makes great quality products. Big plus.

I purchased this bowl as a water bowl for my cat. I am reviewing the "Raised Cat Food Bowl Elevated Feeder".The bowl measures 4 1/4th inches across, 2 7/8th inches tall (from the floor to the top of the bowl), and the inside of the bowl is about 1 1/4th inches deep. These measurements may not be exact but are as accurate as I could be (within a hair or two). I'd say the picture very accurately shows the size next to the cat. The rim turns inward slightly which helps to keep water (or kibble) in the bowl.It's easy to see how tall it is from the listing and pictures, though not quite how much the bowl actually holds (unless I missed it somewhere). It holds a 1/2 cup of water quite nicely. It's on the smaller side for a water dish. Ordinarily I would recommend having more fresh water available to your cat (see the link at the bottom of this review). However, my cat does not drink much anyway, and my vet wants me to start giving her a water supplement. I chose a smaller bowl so that I won't be wasting as much of the supplement since she does not finish her water and I change it daily. I am home most of the time anyway, so I would be aware if she needed more. And when I am away for a day trip I put out extra water in case I couldn't get home or something so I don't have to worry about her.My cat has never managed to tip it over. She likes to slide her bowl around the kitchen, I'm not really sure why she does this. It's sloshed some, but never tipped over. I don't mind the water on the floor, easy clean up, but if this would bother you I would recommend the "Elevated Ceramic Water Bowl" (linked at the bottom of this review). It looks heavier so not as likely to be slid by your cat.Says Microwave and Dishwasher safe, though I have never done either.I will be getting a second one in the near future to make daily washing easier.I'm very pleased with the quality. The paw prints and other details are very clear and sharp. Also, it's imported for Japan which makes me very happy as I am learning Japanese and volunteering to help native Japanese speakers in the US. It's something that may not matter to you making your decision but it makes me extra happy.I also purchased the "Raised Cats Treats Bowl":http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012MAPW7G?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0I recommend this water bowl: http://www.amazon.com/Raised-Water-water-stand-ceramic/dp/B00KAW62CI/ref=pd_bxgy_199_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1TNJT8H1X23V0TNEGMD5

My cat loves this food dish. I could tell he wasn’t liking the deep plastic one that is grabbed cheap at the grocery store )he had a glass one for wet food). He seemed to hate leaning far into the bowl and hes going on age 10. I read that it’s better for their digestion and more comfortable to eat if you have a bowl on a pedestal. It’s also shallow enough to not bother his whiskers. He’s already eating more again - I think he was just not comfortable leaning so low into a deep bowl. I also think plastic can make the food less appealing. Great buy!

I have been searching for some time for either a slow feeder or raised feeder or both for my cats. I was gifted a set of these—two larger bowls (regular height https://www.amazon.com/Necoichi-Raised-Water-Bowl-Regular/dp/B00KAW62CI/ref=pd_bxgy_2/137-3163028-0076437 ) and one of these small bowls. The cats seem to like them so I ordered a second of these small bowls. They use the small bowls for wet food and the larger to share dry food and water (as seen in the photo). They do not really drink out of the water as they prefer their fountains.The bowls are attractive, quite sturdy, and are easy to wash out. They do not slow down my beasts from eating, however I also have not had another vomiting incident since these were purchased. My cats are just at a year old and the height works for both of them, though one cat is much larger than the other. For some reason they often take pieces of dry food out of the larger bowl and eat it off the ground which they do not do from a non raised bowl.Other items I tried that did not work: LumoLeaf Raised Cat Dog Food Bowl with Transparent Tilted Cat Bowl, Detachable & 0-30° Elevated Cat Bowls -- had no weight so got pushed around, cats didn't like to eat from it. I believe it rubbed their whiskers too much. Plastic took more effort to clean than the ceramic of the Neoichi bowls.The URWOOW Collapsible Foldable Slow Feeder Pet Dog Cat Puppy Silicone Travel Pet Slow Feeding Bowl Dog Water Dish Cat -- The collapsable style meant the sides did not bother kitty whiskers. The raised silicone spikes were too high for a cat. Others seemed to have success with dry food where the cat can paw out pieces. My beasts could not reach their wet food and hated them. They also had a large foot print and food got all over the floor.Note there are several listings from different companies that appear to be the same bowl. When completing my set, I looked for the matching imprint that is on the under side (third picture).

Very good height for my cat. Only problem is that the plastic ring at the bottom comes off easily. Otherwise, it’s a good dish.

I was rather skeptical when I read the reviews for raised cat bowls, but ordered the Necoichi bowl based on positive Amazon reviews. We put it into use the evening of March 20; it is now April 2. Our 7.3 lb Calico has not upchucked one single time since then!Previously, she would regurgitate her meals with distressing regularity: at the very least two or three times a week; sometimes even more frequently. What we invariably found was not vomit nor hairballs, but rather, semi-moist chewed cat chow in "rolls" the size of her esophagus. For whatever reason, she would chew and swallow the food, but something would prompt her to heave it up before it even made it down into her stomach.Suspicious that the raised bowl was too good to be true, we made it a point to check the less obvious places where she would occasionally upchuck (window sills behind curtains, company bedroom, underneath the dining room table etc.). We have checked every day, and have not found one single "upchuck" since putting the raised food bowl into place. So, we have concluded that for our little cat, the raised food bowl approach definitely makes a major difference.With respect to the Necoichi bowl in particular: with bought it because it is very attractive, made of ceramic, and is a standalone, one-piece design (we preferred that to some of the other bowls that came with separate platforms the bowl had to be placed upon, or were tilted and looked kind of weird. It is very attractive, and in our opinion looks nicer than many of the other bowls offered.The only minor drawback to the Necoichi bowl is that it only holds about 1 1/2 days of cat chow at best, for one small cat. That works for us, since we have only the single cat, and having to refill the bowl more frequently results in the chow in the bowl being fresher for her. If you have multiple cats, or a really big cat, you probably want to get a larger capacity bowl.

My 14 year old cat and I really like this dish. She's still pretty active but she's not as flexible as she once was so she appreciates not having to hunch over to eat. I appreciate the small lip inside the bowl because she's a messy eater (in fact, she looks pretty much like the tabby in the product picture and any cat owner knows what would happen to the food next in a regular dish...). I wish the lip was bigger, though. I was tempted to buy the water bowl because it looks like the lip is bigger. My cat eats only wet food now so the lip does a pretty good job but I'm sure dry food would go right up and over it for cats that "shovel". I actually did a test to see how much mess she made and there were only two small chunks of food on the counter after she'd eaten two 3oz cans, so I'm *very* happy. My only real complaint is the wet food flattens out to the contours of the bowl as she eats. She's a dainty eater, the kind that laps up the food, so I frequently have to fluff it up so she can get to it, but this would be a non-issue for my younger cat who eats like a lion.

Our cat, Scooter, is a slob when it comes to eating. He licks his wet food as if it was ice cream on a cone. I tried various bowls and plates and saucers but he would just lick his food out and across the floor. My wife got "us" this bowl to try out. IT WORKS!Now when he eats, er, licks, the bowl's inner lip keeps the food in the bowl! Like I said, he's a slob so when he gets too much in his mouth he'll sort of shake his head and sometimes small bits will get flung out so, of course, the bowl can't stop that and I suspect this is happening to others who think the bowl isn't working as expected. For this little issue we have a place mat upon which the bowl sits.Regarding kibble, it keeps it in there as well. That's a no-brainer. But our messy boy often will take a piece out and turn his head, eating away from the bowl. Thus the need to still have a place mat.It's easy to clean, either by hand or in the dishwasher. All I normally have to do is put it in the sink and fill it with water. Later on I just give it a quick rinse and swipe with the dish brush and it's ready to go again.I highly recommend it, especially if you have a messy eater.

Le produit reçu n'est pas le même

Amazing product. Raised bowl is must for every kitty owner. It helps a cat to have better posture while eating by naturally elevating the head and mouth higher than stomach.

Good height and size

Bu markanın ürünlerini Amerika Amazon’dan almaya çalışıp başaramamıştım, Alışveriş Burada sayesinde edinebildim. Çok teşekkür ederim

Der Napf wurde sofort angenommen. Allerdings ist er kleiner als erwartet. Die abgebildete Katze auf dem Produktfoto muß sehr zierlich sein. Der Druchmesser der Schüssel ist 10 cm - also für Nassfutter finde ich das etwas knapp.Habe jetzt das Ergänzungstrockenfutter drin - da soll sie sowieso nicht sooo viel fressen und dafür ist der Napf perfekt.Höhe ist ung. 9 cm. Versand war aus China, aber flott und zuverlässig.
