What it does
- Water moat keeps ants and bugs away from food, so your pet eats clean meals

- Custom 3D printed on demand, made to order just for you
Your pet deserves meals protected from bugs. This bowl has a moat around the rim where you pour water to create a barrier that stops ants and other insects from reaching the food inside.
The bowl works for cats or dogs and is designed with a low infill structure. You can add pebbles as it prints to give it weight, so your pet cannot easily knock it over or push it around. The rounded shape makes it easy for your animal to eat comfortably.
Please note: printed plastic needs care to stay clean. Bacteria can grow in tiny surface gaps. If you use this bowl for your pet, consider an acetone vapor bath to smooth the surface and close small crevices. This step helps make the bowl safer for daily feeding.

What it is made of
Designs like this print well in PLA. Compare the materials.
Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
