No more messy feeding time for Fido, not with the Neater Feeder®

Jenn April 21, 2013

Special thanks to Neater Feeder® for providing Jeni and Toby with their product for this review.

Does your pet’s feeding area look like this?

Perhaps it’s a little messier with water spilled on the floor and bits of food lying around too. Well, those days of having a messy mealtime are over. This is all thanks to the Neater Feeder®.

Once I assured Toby that I wasn’t taking away his food dish forever; sadly Toby thinks that every meal will be his last regardless of what I tell him. Therefore, changing his food and water set-up was a bit traumatic for him. I’m pleased to tell you he quickly recovered with his first meal.

I love how neat and clean Toby’s eating area is now. Toby and I received the Neater Feeder® Original for medium dogs in Cranberry. It is also available in Bronze. The medium dog feeder is recommended for dogs weighing 15-40 pounds with a 12-16” shoulder height. This Neater Feeder® has a feeding height of 5”, but if you use the available leg extensions, that height is increased to 7.5”. Included with the feeder are a 3.5 cup food bowl and a 5 cup water bowl.

Toby has adapted to using his Neater Feeder® with ease and loves it. Due his excitement at meal time, my hand is often knocked and not all the kibble makes it into the bowl. Perhaps this is just Toby’s means of really giving the Neater Feeder® a good testing.

I love my Neater Feeder®! Thank you for letting me check it out. – Toby

The Neater Feeder® isn’t just for dogs either. It is available for our friends of the feline persuasion too. Neater Feeder® is available in small, medium, and large for dogs. It is available for cats too as I previously mentioned. Neater Feeder® also offers the big bowl and the giant bowl, for our furry friends with insatiable thirsts. The big bowl is a 5 quart bowl, whereas the giant bowl holds a whopping 2.25 gallons!

Please check Neater Feeder® out for yourself at NeaterFeeder.com. You can find them on Facebook. Don’t forget to keep your eyes open for an upcoming giveaway too.

Mitzi Fisher May 25, 2013

I really just love this. My cats would love it and I would love to win!

Lisa F. May 25, 2013

This looks like a great product. I have had dogs that drop the kibble next to the bowl bowl while eating, and this might contain it better. Thanks for the giveaway, too! :)

Paula V May 25, 2013

I so want one of these. Last day for the giveaway...last chance to get one. :-) Fingers and toes crossed..

laurie May 24, 2013

this ia a great idea i need this baddly

Kellie May 23, 2013

I wonder if my dog would like something like this. He has a tendency to take a mouthful of food and then move to another room to eat it. I think he's trying to prevent the cats from stealing it. Lol. I wonder if the sides on this would make him feel more secure.

jennifer wexler May 23, 2013

this neaterfeeder is the best invention

Elizabeth D. May 22, 2013

Love it and totally could use these. Twice a day I feed Josie and both times the cat comes over after I pour the food into the dish and acts like she is burying it. The poor dog can't eat until the cat does her little ritual. Maybe with this she couldn't do her happy dance on the poochie's food.

MzBaker May 21, 2013

I have been seeing the commercials lately for this and it looks Great! I'd love to win one for my Boy! Awesome Review and thanks for sharing!!

Melissa S May 19, 2013

I thinkm the Neater Feeder would work great for my cats and dogs.

Mitzi Fisher May 18, 2013

This would be so nice for my little dogs. Sure hope I win!

Krystal M May 18, 2013

My cats could use one of these! Silly things, they are always scattering their food around everywhere!

deanna May 18, 2013

My dog is SO messy. I've thought about buying a mat to put under the bowls but this looks better! xo

Jeni Mitchell May 18, 2013
Deanna, as you can see from my first picture, I had a tray and a mat under Toby's previous bowls for water and food. It still was a mess. The Neater Feeder really is the best solution. No more mess! Please let us know if you give this a try.

Jill Jacoby May 18, 2013

It would be so nice to have this and not cringe when I hear my Pitty taking a drink!

Paula V May 16, 2013

I think I'm dreaming about this. I need this so bad. Just this morning had to change the towel under his water bowl. Holding out to win one instead of paying the $40. Thanks for sharing the review.

trina May 16, 2013

I wanted to try one of these, in a home with 5 dogs it would be great for the help.

Nicole Becker May 16, 2013

My pit bull mix named Prada needs one of these very badly!!! She is such a messy eater!!

Heather May 15, 2013

We have to new Jack Russell/Pincheer puppies in the family. This would be perfect for them.

Stephanie Thomason May 15, 2013

I would love to win one of these, I foster dogs and have 3 of my own so dinner time gets messy!

Jeni Mitchell May 15, 2013
Goodness Stephanie. It sounds like the Neater Feeder would definitely be welcomed in your home. Toby and I send biscuits and bellyrubs to everyone. We also thank you for fostering and for being in rescue.

Linda Bradshaw May 15, 2013

Here lately I have been so frustrated at the mess my cats dishes have been making. I hate having water on my floors too. I would love to try one of these.

Jenn Podpora May 15, 2013

Thanks for the review... This would be great for my lab. He has a food/water dish that holds his food underneith... he is such a sloppy drinker.. he gets water everywhere!

Olivia Douglass May 15, 2013

I totally need this for our labs.... they make a terrible mess!

Jill Jacoby May 15, 2013

I like that it is adjutable with the leg extensions so as my dog gets older I can elevate it to make her more comfortable.

Natalie Lyons May 14, 2013

Seeing a lot of great feedback for the neater feeder

Jeni Mitchell May 14, 2013
Natalie, I love the Neater Feeder. To me it is a genius idea for cleaning up your pet's feeding area. Toby and I are so happy to have ours.

deanna May 14, 2013

my Jack Russell Terrier drips water and chomps and spills food EVERY meal - bless her heart xo

Linda Bradshaw May 14, 2013

We have a cat. I would love to have this. Sounds neat.

Jessica S May 14, 2013

This is so cool! My dog needs this...he's such a sloppy eater/drinker!

Jenn May 14, 2013
I just think it's the neatest thing ever... I need one for all my pups lol..

Jill Jacoby May 14, 2013

Wow, a lot of people have these and love them! I will keep trying to win one. My Chi is like an ant and carries the food bowl to where ever she feels like eating!

Natalie Lyons May 13, 2013

So excited for this giveaway, loving all your blogs:)

Margaret Mego-Cooper May 13, 2013

I would love to win this. Maybe my Pup will keep the food where it belongs

marilyn rhea May 13, 2013

My dog loves to push the food out of her dish, and make a mess every meal time. This neater feeder is a wonderful idea, and thanks to you and the sponsor for giving up the opportunity to win such a great giveaway.

Martha Boismier May 13, 2013

A friend of mine has one of these.It's such a differevce from before with water and dog food everywhere.Now it's clean and tidy. I want one for my pet.

rochelle haynes May 12, 2013

I NEED ONE OF THESE!

kathy Hoag May 12, 2013

I really would like to try these feeders they look nice ! Great Giveaway Thank you

Kelly Ann T. May 12, 2013

These feeders are so classy compared to a couple of bowls on the floor. This feeder would look great in my kitchen.

Natalie Lyons May 12, 2013

Back again today, great review and giveaway

Jeni Mitchell May 12, 2013
Welcome back Natalie! We love seeing you again. Good luck to you and to everyone who enters!

CarolynH May 11, 2013

It's cool that they come in different sizes for dogs & cats. I want one for my cat. Thanks for the review.

Donna May 11, 2013

I really would love to own one of these. I have 3 messy dogs, this would be great.

CONNIE HANSON May 11, 2013

WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ONE FOR MY GRANDDOG!! HE'S BIG AND MESSY

Tina Barker May 11, 2013

How cool! This would be awesome for cats as well!

Jeni Mitchell May 11, 2013
Yes Tina. I think it's great that they have one just for cats too!

Kelly Ann T. May 11, 2013

To find something that would keep my kitchen mess free is a win in my book. For some reason my dogs love to push the food around in the dish and it spills everywhere. One of my dogs actually loves to put his paw in the water and stir it. Maybe having it off the ground would break that habit.

Jeni Mitchell May 11, 2013
Hehe Kelly. I'm sure you don't think your dogs' actions are all that funny, but I'm imagining them pushing their food around. Of course I'm wondering what's up with the stirring of water, but hey, I tend to shake everything before I drink it, so maybe it's just his way of "freshening" his water. It sounds like the Neater Feeder would definitely be a welcomed addition to your home.

Marianne Kenney May 11, 2013

This feeder would be so awesome when I babysit my little furry friends. One of my charges is a very messy eater, and there's food and water all over my floor every time he goes to his bowls. I would love to try this!!!!

Susan Broughton May 11, 2013

I soooooooo need to win this for my dog! She has trouble eating and drinking with her head down so this would work perfectly!

Jeni Mitchell May 12, 2013
It sounds like a Neater Feeder with the risers might be perfect in your home. Having raised dishes so our pets don't have to lower their heads to eat does aid in their digestion. It might be time to give Neater Feeder a try.

Della Dabner May 10, 2013

This product is the best idea! I hope I win this because my one year old cat loves knocking her water bowl over. She does it on purpose. I don't understand why she does it and I've tried everything to stop her.

gerri domicolo May 10, 2013

What a good idea! Great review!

Natalie Lyons May 9, 2013

I have seen these neater feeders and think they are a great idea for big or small dogs and cats. I have a 125lb Bernese Mountain Dog named Hank that this would be perfect for.

Jeni Mitchell May 9, 2013
Natalie, I bet Hank would love this. Not only does Neater Feeder offer their feeders in a wide variety of sizes, but they also offer feet that rise their feeders up even more. That would mean Hank wouldn't have to bend down so much to eat. That's of great benefit to him as it helps with digestion. Bellyrubs and biscuits to Hank from me and Toby!
1. Natalie Lyons May 10, 2013
  Thanks for the reply. Your right the risers would be great since a lot of dogs do have to bend down more and Bernese are known for having joint and digestion problems, so this would be great for my big bear:) Thanks so much!
  1. Jeni Mitchell May 10, 2013
    You're quite welcome Natalie. They're not just pets to many of us. They become furry, four-legged family members. Please let us know if your big bear gets a lift for his dinner. :)

G May 9, 2013

I have to say, the neater feeder is probably one of the best inventions vie seen for pets. I am forever wiping water off the floor from my fur kids, to the point where I keep a small stack of towels under the nearby counter just for this purpose. Since I have eight dogs, including three rescue, this can create quite a mess. My token big dog, a rescue pit bull ends up slobbering and slopping more water on the floor than in his mouth, so much so that the shelties tend to guard their bowl from him and make him drink out of a seperate bowl. It's cute how well he listens to them. This would be a great thing to have for my dogs, not only would it keep the mess under control but I would use both sides for water and therefore wouldnt have To fill the water bowl so many times throughout the day! Thank you for the chance to win this for my furkids!

Jeni Mitchell May 12, 2013
Bless you G for being in rescue! Sounds like the Neater Feeder, or a few of them would fit right in at your home.

Michele Behlen May 9, 2013

I too have tried to win one many times. I have thought of buying one just to eliminate the mess. Thanks for the giveaway.

Jeni Mitchell May 12, 2013
Michele since having the Neater Feeder, feeding time has been so clean at my house. I don't know what I did before having it, oh wait, I do...cleaned up Toby's messes. ;)

deanna May 9, 2013

I totally need one of these for my jack russell. She drip and drops food/water all over the floor EVERY day! xo

Dorothy Teel May 9, 2013

I have two great cats with two different personalities, and they make my day. They are messy eaters and one of these neater feeders would be greeat for me to have. Thank you.

deb c May 9, 2013

Love this. When my cat eats I swear it looks like he throws the food up on the wall.

Jeni Mitchell May 9, 2013
LOL Deb. Of course if you asked your kitty Deb, he would say he was the neatest kitty ever. They're never messy. Maybe the Neater Feeder could help. I like the high wall along the back.

Becky Schollian May 8, 2013

These are so cool!! I've always wanted one!! YES, my doggy area looks like displayed above. I am always cleaning up spills.They fit any where & have a unique design. My little guy would love this.

viviana rodriguez May 8, 2013

cute dog! i love the neater feeder hopefully i can get it soon :)

Jeni Mitchell May 9, 2013
Toby says thanks Viviana. He was quite happy once I assured him I wasn't taking his bowls away forever, but rather was giving him a NEW set-up. Toby's food is very important to him and he didn't like me moving his old dishes. A dog's past sadly stays with them longer than we'd like it to, no matter how much love they get now. Please let us know if you get a Neater Feeder. We would love to hear what you think about it.

Paula V May 8, 2013

I have been wanting one of these ever since I saw the first review and giveaway a couple months ago. I've enter half dozen and not one yet. My doggie needs this...I mean, I need this. He doesn't clean up after himself! lol.

Heather Burke May 8, 2013

Wow I need these for my fur babies they are forever knocking their bowls over!! or kicking them around.

Kate V May 8, 2013

I've heard great things about the Neater Feeder- it would be great for my older girl who drops kibble and spills water everywhere. Excited about this giveaway.

Keno Moore May 8, 2013

I would love to win one for my messy dog.

Marti Parks May 8, 2013

This would be so nice to have with my messy dog.

Jennifer May 8, 2013

My dog is a complete mess, I would LOVE to get one of these to use. Maybe my kitchen floor would actually stay dry for more than 5 minutes...

Carolyn Colley May 8, 2013

I think these neater feeders are so neat and they would be so good for my cats

MICHELLE SAWATZKY May 8, 2013

my dogs are pigs...but cutier...

Cindy May 8, 2013

This feeder looks great. Anything to make the floor around the bowls less messy would be great.

Jill Jacoby May 8, 2013

This makes so much sense and I am glad to see Toby using it so I get a better idea of the size I would need.

Diana Krupiczewicz May 7, 2013

These look great & I am glad to hear that someone who has tried it actually found it to work! I am hoping to win one as we will be getting a new poochie soon!

Jeni Mitchell May 7, 2013
Congrats on your new family member - soon. Pets add so much to a home. We wish you many years with yours.

Mitzi Fisher May 7, 2013

These feeders are awesome. I would love to win one :)

Rachael Henzman May 7, 2013

We had one of these with our last dog! They are amazing! The only thing that was hard was emptying the water, but that was only if you waited a long time to do it :) Thanks for sharing!

Carolyn Colley May 7, 2013

I love this, would love to have it for my cats

Jeni Mitchell May 7, 2013
While I don't have cats myself, sadly I'm allergic to them even if I love them, I think it's great that Neater Feeder has made a feeder for cats too. We know it's not just the doggies who make the messes, although the kitties would never fess up to making a messes too. They're too proud. ;)
1. Carolyn Colley May 8, 2013
  I have one cat named Sam, plays in the water, I've never had one to do like he does, he gets every drop out on the floor and then wants more.

Jacqui May 7, 2013

My pup would love this! :)

Whitney May 7, 2013

This would change the course of feeding history in my house!

kathy Hoag May 7, 2013

I really hate stepping in water on my floor and then have to clean it up this would be awesome to win thank you so much for the great giveaway ! I want to win this !

Jeni Mitchell May 7, 2013
Stepping in water is bad, to me though, stepping in water while wearing just socks is the absolute worst. Good luck to you and to all who enter.

rochelle haynes May 7, 2013

I HAVE BEEN TYRING TO WIN ONE OF THESE!

Sylvia Zajis May 7, 2013

I absolutely love this thing. I know my dog would be so happy with one of these and it would be so nice to have a cleaner feeding area for him. Fingers crossed!

Diane Rose May 7, 2013

I have tried to win one of these before and I an still trying. My dog makes such a mess with his food and he also tries to take the bowl with him with the food still in it and drops it all over the floor. I am tired of stepping on kibble and slipping in his water that is also on the floor. This giveaway would solve the problem.

Jeni Mitchell May 7, 2013
Goodness Diane. Toby and I send bellyrubs to your puppyschmup. We normally send biscuits too, but it sounds like he might throw them on the floor. ;) Good luck to you and to everyone entering this giveaway. It sure sounds like it may be time for a Neater Feeder in your home.

Kathaleen Petelle May 7, 2013

I am so sick of stepping on kibble this would be great.

wendy budrow May 7, 2013

This looks like a great idea.

sandra davis May 7, 2013

this would be great for my kitty......she really is a messy eater and gets stuff everywhere

Lisa B. May 7, 2013

We just adopted a dog who is 6 years old at a shelter! I have been looking for something like this for her. I think it a great idea, she and I are always making a mess :)

Jill Jacoby May 7, 2013

This is a great invenyion! I would love to have one for my dogs, it sure would cutdown on the mess with splashed water and food scattered!

Leslie Harris May 6, 2013

We could use this in our house, we live in a small place and we are always running into the puppies food and water dishes ( soggy socks) yuck! thanks for the info

lalaine hagler May 6, 2013

I want to win this thing

kathy Hoag May 6, 2013

My dog is a very messy eater he slops food everywhere so I really need and want to win this it looks awesome ! Thank You

Susan Broughton May 6, 2013

My dog so needs one of these! She has problems with digesting and swallowing water and food and this would work great for her

Vicki Hale May 6, 2013

I would like to win this for my daughter. She has a huge German shepherd, and there is always food around his BIG bowl. Thank you. Vicki

Jeni Mitchell May 6, 2013
It's sounds like the Neater Feeder may be needed in her house. Good luck to you and to every one.

Renee Hutchinson May 6, 2013

With my messy four legged babies I need this badly.

Fayth Chamberlain May 6, 2013

I would love to try this product I have 3 dogs and they endlessly spill their food and water.

Jeni Mitchell May 6, 2013
Fayth, sounds like the Neater Feeder might fit right in at your home. Please let us know if you and your pups check it out.

Cindy May 6, 2013

My cat likes to put his paw in his water bowl and splash.

John Heim May 6, 2013

Great idea! We currently have two cats and usually the only messes are made by the owner/feeder accidentally tapping the side of the water or food bowl. We use dto have a dog, and we occasionally dogsit for friends while they're out of town. Dogs get thirsty and do make a mess when slurping up water. Cats are a bit better. Food is kind of the same.

Jeni Mitchell May 6, 2013
Thanks for your comments John. I too have knocked Toby's bowls a few times too many. Neater Feeder does offer one for cats as well. Please let us know if you and your kitties try one out.

Joyce Broome May 6, 2013

would love to win one of these so neat

Amelia Sara Hall May 6, 2013

Those look really cool! My dogs always make a mess when eating and food gets everywhere!

Samantha Knight May 6, 2013

I had no idea something like this existed! My dog Paddington is super messy, and I am forever tripping over his water dish.

Jeni Mitchell May 6, 2013
Hi Samantha...What a great name for a puppyschmup! Please give Paddington some biscuits and bellyrubs from me and Toby. It sounds like the Neater Feeder could be a welcomed addition to your home. I know it's definitely helped to clean up Toby's feeding area. Please let us know if you and Paddington check it out.

Cheryl Thomas May 6, 2013

This is what my dogs need no more mess would be great

CarolynH May 6, 2013

I would really like to have the Neater Feeder for my cat. Thanks for your review.

Kayla Davis April 30, 2013

i could really use one of those

Melissa Cadle April 27, 2013

I'm so glad you reviewed this! I have 3 cats and could definitely use it! Now, the job of finding it in my area--or online of course. Anyway, my cats and I thank you!

Jeni Mitchell April 27, 2013
Hi Melissa, here's the link to the Neater Feeder for kitties. Please let us know if you decide to get it for them.

Donna April 25, 2013

I have 3 messy dogs. this seems like it would be a great product.

Jeni Mitchell April 25, 2013
Wow Donna. You have your hands full. It sounds like a few Neater Feeders could make feeding time in your home easier and definitely neater. Biscuits and belly rubs to your pups!

Kami Dumis April 24, 2013

This is the coolest thing. My dogs make a mess. I have tried to win one of these with no luck. I look forward to your giveaway!

Karen Hand April 25, 2013
Kami, be persistent. You can't win if you don't enter. Good luck to you. These feeders are the cat's meow!

Laurie Nykaza April 24, 2013

I have one and it really helps to keep the mess in the holder and it is easy to keep clean too

Jeni Mitchell April 24, 2013
Thanks for the feedback Laurie. We love hearing from our readers.

Daraya April 23, 2013

Thanks for the review! I'm thinking about buying a Neater Feeder considering I'm going to be adopting a lab this summer and I heard they can be very messy! :)

Jeni Mitchell April 23, 2013
First off Daraya, Toby and I thank you for adopting. We wish you many happy years with your new buddy. The Neater Feeder would be a great way to welcome your new friend home. They come in multiple sizes, so just be sure to get the one best suited for the size your lab will be fully grown. Please let us know more about your furry friend when you adopt. (Can you tell I'm excited?)

lisa April 23, 2013

I don't have any pets. Just wanted to say I love that dog! I had a cocker spaniel as a child. It was the sweetest dog!

Jeni Mitchell April 23, 2013
Thanks so much Lisa. I love him too! Aren't cocker's great? Toby says thank you as well. He's a sucker for any extra attention he can get. He'd like you to believe I don't pet him all day. ;)

william saylor April 23, 2013

I have one of theses and they are great.

Jeni Mitchell April 23, 2013
Hi William...thanks for sharing with us. Glad to hear that you're enjoying the Neater Feeder in your own home.

Nicole Becker April 22, 2013

This is exactly what my dog needs!! She is SO messy when she is eating!! I have tried to win this before on a bunch of giveaways but no luck. Thanks for the review because I am going to buy it for sure this weekend.

Jeni Mitchell April 23, 2013
Hi Nicole...I'm sure the Neater Feeder will do the trick for you. I know it's helped to clean up Toby's eating area. Please let us know how it helps you and your pup out. Belly rubs to her too!

Karen Hand April 22, 2013

What a great feeder. Both my cats and my dog leave little water pellets on the floor after taking a drink. I have one cat that loves to play in the water dish as well. Perhaps this will help dissuade him from doing so. I've got to give this a try. Thanks for the great review.

Karen Glatt April 22, 2013

I have a Neater Feeder and it really works! The water and food do not get spilled and it is so nice to have the dog have the food and water off the floor. You can adjust the height for your dog up or down. I have the color of maroon, just like the picture!

Jeni Mitchell April 22, 2013
Thank you Karen for your feedback. We love hearing from our readers, especially when they have the products we're reviewing. I too love that Toby's food and water are up off the floor now. It is better for his digestion too.

rochelle haynesrrrrrr April 22, 2013

BEING TRYING TO WIN ONE OF THESE.

Maria Iemma April 22, 2013

What a clever idea - We usually pyt a plastic placemat under the feeding/water bowls to contain the mess. This will keep the floor cleaner with less work.

Jeni Mitchell April 22, 2013
Maria, I was doing the same thing - the plastic place-mat. I still had to wash that. The Neater Feeder is amazing. It's been a great addition to our home.

Margaret Polino Nicholas April 22, 2013

I read your blog daily. It's just fun being part of something bugger than me.

Jeni Mitchell April 22, 2013
We love having you as a reader Margaret. Thank you! Please let us know what you'd like to see more of. We'll do our best to accommodate. Keep reading and thanks so much for your comments.

Kathleen Quinlan April 21, 2013

I LOVE THESE FEEDERS......I TRIED TO WIN ONE AND HAD THE PLEASURE OF SEEING ONE WHILE I AM HERE IN CLEARWATER FLORIDA. THEY ARE REALLY HANDY. IT'S ON MY TO BUY LIST.

Jeni Mitchell April 22, 2013
Kathleen, aren't they great? I'm really pleased with mine. As you can see, Toby likes it too. I've noticed as well that because of the high sides, it's caused him to slow down his eating. Toby is a dog who gobbles his food. The high sides prevent him from being able to shove his head in his dish. I'm happy for that. You're pups will thank you. :)
