Elevated Feeders on a Budget

Tired of raised feeders that are hard to clean, tip easily, and are EXPENSIVE?  Well here’s an idea worth passing along.

Take a 6 gallon paint bucket, cut out the top of the lid, add a stainless steel 5 quart dish, and your all set!

Your pet now has a raised feeder that’s easy to clean and affordable. The feeder is 17” tall and very stable, you can add weight to the bucket if you have chow hounds like  Chevy or leave the bucket empty for dainty Danes like Mindy.

You can get the supplies from two online retailers, Us Plastic Corp. (www.usplastic.com) and Pet Edge (www.petedge.com)

Here’s the price list:

Us Plastic Corp
(1) Ea.  6 Gallon Bucket    Item # 2389 - price $7.33
(1) Ea.  Lid                       Item # 2281-  price $1.05
(The lids are available in 7 colors to match your home décor)

Pet Edge
(1) Ea.  5 Quart stainless steel bowl   Item # ZW150 - price $3.99

The finished project!
