MidWest Stainless Steel Snap'y Fit Dog Kennel Bowl

After reading many negative reviews I was skeptical about buying this kennel bowl. I am so glad that I did not let the other reviews impact my decision. It was worth the purchase. I bought this to replace a cheap plastic kennel dish that came with my dogs kennel after she annihilated the dish 2 weeks in from bringing her home. The Midwest kennel bowl has held up against her puppy biting. And despite the negative reviews about removing the dish from the attachment, it is easy to take off. I am not sure why negative reviews were left for the inability to remove the dish from the holder. I feel that is an user error and not a defect (so the rating should not have been impacted by this).

My family has no problem with taking the dish off nor putting it on. It pretty simple that my 9 year old son can do it with ease (best if you align the bowl with the space between the attachment, while hold one side of the bowl in place rotate the other side of the bowl while pushing inward until it is secure. Use the same rotation method to remove but pulling instead of pushing). In my opinion you want something that is sturdy that will keep a pup from removing it and chew it to pieces, otherwise what is the purpose! … more

Perfect for any size crate, ours is large for our GSD so these bowls (bought two 4c ones) fit perfectly to each side of the front of his crate. We had recently upgraded to a larger crate bed for him, so there was no longer room on the floor of it to keep his water and food in there with him while I'm gone. Have had them almost two weeks and I did notice some orange rust-coloring forming on the edge of the water bowl, but it was easily scrubbed off. Regardless, worth it for how sturdy and great these are. PRO TIP: Because the bowls are so difficult to get in and out of the holder, I bought two small stainless steel bowls from the dollar store and put them inside of these bowls, so they sit on Perfect for any size crate, ours is large for our GSD so these bowls (bought two 4c ones) fit perfectly to each side of the front of his crate.

PRO TIP: Because the bowls are so difficult to get in and out of the holder, I bought two small stainless steel bowls from the dollar store and put them inside of these bowls, so they sit on top of the ones that came with it. It kinda defeats the purpose, I guess, but it's easier to take off and clean out the top water bowl than snapping the original one in and out of the holder. Even his clumsy big-puppy-body hasn't knocked the bowls out or anything. Also, if you don't want to put a bowl in your bowl like I did, I advise just using/having a gallon water jug nearby to refill it rather than take the bowl out and then try to snap it back in full of water. Just easier, hope that helps! … more

These look good in the catalog, but when they arrived I found it darn near impossible to get the bowls to pop into the tightly curved holder. My pup was able to unseat them immediately. All his water spilled in his crate. I fail to see how I am supposed to place a filled food or water dish in without spilling it. The bowl is shown fitting its lip between the two arms of the holder. I have never been able to reproduce this.

My dog's food was previously kept out on a tray in the floor with her water but after getting a cat who likes to eat everything, I had to move it. I found that sitting her bowl inside her crate just wasn't working because she would spill it so I tried this bowl. It works so well! It's easy to put up and with a very minor adjustment to the arms that hold the bowl it works perfectly! No more spilled food and no more fat cat eating her breakfast.

I really do enjoy using this! It’s easy to move around my puppy’s kennel. I can remove his water whenever I leave for work so that he doesn’t spill it or have to pee while I’m gone... my only complaint is that it sort of “pops” out whenever you’re pulling the bowl out of the holder and water can spill. No matter how gently I pull it still sort of pops- though I can get it in just fine! I really enjoy using it though and find it really convenient

these are great. Their food stays clean and won't tip over if they place their front paws on the dish. Plus for those rabbits that love to chew they won't hurt themselves or want to chew on this.. I use one size for their pellets, one for hay and the smaller one for fresh greens. Its easy to remove, and put back. They hold in tight and by aliening the edge of the bowls with the openings of the holder, push firmly and it goes in to stay until you pull it out.

My heeler mix was dumping over or destroying every other dish we had gotten her. A mix of separation anxiety and trying to bury her food mixed with her simply pitching a fit caused the destruction of 7 other kennel bowls. Enter this one she cant move it destroy it or chew on it I am so happy ! Yes it's hard to get in or out but once you get the hang of it (some twisting and bending) it gets easier but it it wasn't so solidly in there my dog would still be dumping it over.

Bowls like this have been around for a long time. It’s nice to finally use one where the bowl comes out without taking the hardware apart and off of the crate. The bowl itself is good quality. The “clip” can be tricky to get tight if you don’t use the plastic piece that’s included. Line it up correctly and you’re good to go.

This bowl is great! Nice and sturdy. Attaches tightly to the side of the pen. Bowl snaps on tightly. Great for a food bowl. I bought it for a water bowl. If you are using it for water it needs to be unscrewed from the pen completely to empty it (unless it is already empty). Otherwise the water dumps everywhere.

The design of the attachment to a cage is great. It fits on very secure. The problem is that the bowl fits too tight into the holder. I struggled for over 10 minutes to try to pull the bull out of its holder. When I finally got it out, I couldn't get it back in let alone filled with food or water. It seems that the holder was redesigned, and this may be the new design. While the old holder had complaints about it being sharp, this is rounded. However if you can't get the bowl in or out easy it makes it very hard to use. I would not recommend this product.
