Your pet(s) will love the raised feeder which reduces muscle strain and promotes proper digestion. The Feeding Friend holds over 10 pounds of food so you can leave your pet(s) for an extended period of time and not worry about them going hungry. The base provides drinking water which creates a moat that will deter ants and other crawling pests from accessing your pet's food. A float valve system is hidden in the base and constantly replenishes the drinking water through your garden hose so your pet(s) won't go thirsty.
