"I bought this for my mother, who has a very picky beagle when it comes to "his" food, dishes, etc. She boards him often in the summer, and could only take his food along. Buster loves this! He rolls it around like a toy, and my mother loves the fact it has not only ample space for food, but that he has his own bowls, and doesn't have to share "community bowls" the vet cleans after every visit. I would recommend this for someone that boards their animals (cat or dog) so they don't have to worry about what food their pet is getting, or for those who, like Buster, are just picky."
