Stable surfaces

Bowls should sit securely and be easy to remove for cleaning.

Floor protection

A washable mat can help manage water and food around the area.

Storage separation

Food should be stored according to packaging directions and protected from moisture and pests.

Keep the setup accessible

An attractive station is not useful if the pet cannot eat or drink comfortably.
