Product Description

Dr.Catsby's food bowl for cats

Dr.Catsby Food Bowl
Does your cat suffer from whisker fatigue?

Does your cat display behaviors such as leaving food behind, not finishing his meal, loss of interests in food, or pawing food out of the bowl to eat on the floor? If so, he/she might be suffering from Whisker Fatigue. Sometimes these eating related problems even manifest themselves as aggression towards other pets or furniture.

The original whisker fatigue prevention

A cat's whiskers are ultra sensitive. When they are forced against the sidewalls of a traditional feeding bowl, it can cause discomfort and even pain. Dr. Catsby's food bowl is a wide and shallow dish, with no sidewalls and corners. Cats don't have to pull back their whiskers to avoid agonizing contacts, creating a much more enjoyable dining experience. Many of our customers reported improved eating habits from their cats. Check out what our customers have to say in reviews and comments

Dr.Catsby Cat Bowl

Catsby Cat Bowl

Catsby Food Bowl

Stress free eating

Relaxed whiskers make a happier cat. Dr. Catsby's food bowl is a wide and shallow dish, with no sidewalls and corners. Cats don't have to pull back their whiskers to avoid unwanted or agonizing contacts, creating a much more enjoyable dining experience. The dish shape also keeps food in the center (in most cases) and is sized to hold one day's ideal portion to prevent over feeding.

Acne prevention

Does your cat suffer from acne on the chin that won't go away? Maybe the cause is in the bowl. You see, with a traditional deeper feeding bowl, it's easy for him/her to rub the chip on the bowl and food. An unclean chin makes it easier for acne to develop. Dr. Catsby's shallow wide dish design can keep the chin clean during eating. This surprise benefit was observed by several of our customers' and our own cats.

Material matters

Not all materials are created equals. We use food-grade premium stainless steel because that is what we use for ourselves, period. Cheaper materials like plastics are porous, which can cause bacteria growth and risk acne for your cats. Plastics also pose multiple severe health risks as food containers. They also cause negative environmental effects. PLEASE SAY NO TO PLASTICS when it comes to feeding your cats!

Catsby Cat Food Bowl

Detachable anti skid silicone base

We use a food grade silicone base to hold the bowl in place. This also marks out a feeding territory for your cat. It is detachable for easy cleaning.

Dishwasher safe

Food-grade premium stainless steel is not only durable and good looking, but is also easy to clean and maintain. Just throw it into the dishwasher or rinse regularly with warm water. (Please rinse it thoroughly before the first use)

How to choose?

There are many options on the market that claim the same benefit. How do you choose? Dr. Catsby is the first to bring an awareness and a solution to this issue in 2015, Since then, we are happy to see our cause gaining traction. Unfortunately our design and marketing approach have inspired quite a few copycats with cheaper materials and qualities. However, we believe when it comes to originality, quality and care, there are no substitutes. Your cats deserve only the best.

My cat was turning over every bowl I tried. No matter what I did, he was constantly dumping his food onto the floor. He seemed so stressed out. For a long while I thought it was the food, I thought perhaps he didn't like the food. I tried every tactic, from switching food to picking his food up after 20 minutes. My latest tactic was to just pour his food out on a mat, and washing the mat between feedings. It was the only way he would eat without stressing him out so much.Then I did some research, and found this bowl. I read the story of how the bowl came to be, and it seemed so similar to Balam that I decided to give it a try. I got the bowl today. I washed it up, dried it off, and put it down, pouring some food in it.I figured it would take him some time to get used to it. But he walked up to it, sniffed the bowl briefly then began to eat. All day long I've watched him, into the evening, and he simply eats from the bowl, grazing a bit here and there and then walking away. No more scooting the bowl, no more tipping the bowl, no more stress.This bowl works! In one day, from the moment I put it down, he simply accepted it. He simply began to eat out of it. I keep waiting for him to start tipping the bowl, but so far it's just his food bowl, which is what I wanted all along. I'm so happy to see him eating stress free! It was worth every penny not to have to worry about feeding time any more! Thank you so much!Edited to add: It's been a few days now, and he still hasn't tipped the bowl or scooted the bowl in any way. He seems to simply accept it. I do keep it on a mat, as some bits of food do sometimes spill over the edges, but then I can just tip the mat into the trash, rinse it off and voila! That's a small price to pay for a happy kitty and a full belly! I will update as time goes on. So far this was well worth every penny!
