Product Review: Platinum Pets Triple Dinner Stand

I recently purchased a Platinum Pets Triple Dinner Stand pet feeder from Amazon. I was rather excited about it because it looked cute in the picture. I thought it was perfect for Mia. She could finally have a bowl for food, water, and goats milk! It was also going to take up less room than the crazy set up I currently had going. It was also VERY affordable (I got it for about $10). 


                                  












What drew me to this product?
Where do I start?

The bowls are stainless steel, which means there is resistance to bacteria growth. They are also powder coated with wonderful bright colors, dishwasher safe, and they do not collect calcium deposits or get hard water marks. There are many colors to choose from! I went with the "Bubblegum Pink" bowls and black stand.

A little more reading indicated that this product is made in the USA! To me, this is a huge deal. Most of the pet bowls I have come across are made in China. I don't like products from China. There are many reasons for that.

Here is one:
The first set of bowls that I bought for Mia were made in China. A few weeks after purchasing them, the very same bowls were recalled because they contained Cobalt-60. What is Cobalt-60? It is a RADIOACTIVE material that many companies use in their gauging equipment. That was my first lesson on buying pet products made in China. I have since learned many valuable lessons on that topic. This is why I ALWAYS look for products "MADE IN THE USA".

The next feature that I liked about this product is that it is elevated. Why is this important? Overall, elevated feeding stations make it easier for pets to eat. There is less stress on their joints because they do not have to lean down. This is a plus for pets with arthritis or old injuries!

Another reason elevated feeding stations are important is because they reduce the amount of air that your pet swallows while eating. This will help cut back on gas and the chances of your pet developing bloat (click here for more information on bloat - the 2nd leading cause of death in dogs next to cancer).

The last important feature of this product is that it comes in four sizes: 

8oz bowls (3.5" high)
16oz bowls (5.5" high)
32oz bowls (8.5" high)
64oz bowls (11" high)

I got the 8oz (3.5" high) size. It was perfect for Mia who is about 6lbs. 

So, was it WORTH IT?
In my opinion, yes. It seems to be of very good quality. The legs of the stand have little rubber covers so you don't need to worry about your hardwood floors getting scratched up. What you can't tell from the pictures is that the bowls actually have little paw prints raised up in the steel around the lip of the bowl. There is also one large raised paw print in the bottom of the bowl. I thought that was a cute little detail that I didn't see mentioned prior to purchasing. The bowls also come clean very easy. I guess only time will tell now how great this product truly is at this point. Will it hold up? I don't know, but after about 2 weeks of use, it seems like it will. I HIGHLY recommend it!

After checking out the manufactures website, I found that they have a wide variety of products (leashes, collars, accessories, pet apparel, and tags) . They all come in bright colors! I think this line of products it worth the look. Have you tried any of their products? If so, tell us about your experiences below!
