As our dogs and cats get older, they start having more difficulty moving around. Senior pets tend to start having weaker muscles, a noticeable decrease in mobility, and less daily activity in general due to becoming older. In some cases, that difficulty moving around may also be due to health issues that tend to come with age, such as arthritis, obesity, or other significant health conditions. Because of those mobility issues, senior pets also tend have some difficulty eating their food on a daily basis. Now, despite all of those mobility issues that come with age, most senior pets should still have a healthy appetite. Moreover, some pet breeds such as brachycephalic dog breeds can also have some difficulties eating their food, especially when eating it from low feeding bowls, which can cause them to make quite a mess whenever they eat. With all that said, it’s important for pet owners to ensure that their pets’ food is as easily accessible as possible in order to facilitate their pets’ mealtime. One of the best ways to do that is by using the Fluff Trough & Silicone Insert Set.
The Fluff Trough & Silicone Insert Set is an elevated pet feeding trough that’s ergonomically designed to help flat-faced, elderly, and disabled dogs and cats to eat their food more easily than by using a standard feeding bowl, featuring a veterinarian-approved silicone feeding bowl insert made with non-toxic materials that stands 5.5 inches off the ground and measures 10 inches wide, while also coming equipped with non-slip silicone feet for stability, and both its base and silicone insert are also dishwasher safe.
Whether your pet struggles to eat from a feeding bowl at a floor-level, or even if their just a messy eater by nature, this elevated pet feeding trough can make your pet’s mealtime much more comfortable, much less straining for their bodies, and obviously, fairly less messy.

What’s more is that this elevated pet feeding trough also comes equipped with non-slip silicone feet, which perfectly prevent the unit from sliding away while your pet is eating from it.
Last but not least, both the unit’s base (meaning its main body) as well as its silicone bowl insert are rated to be dishwasher safe, so pet owners can simply chuck them away into their dishwasher if they ever need to be cleaned.
