You trip over that ugly plastic dish every morning. Muddy paw prints surround your kitchen floor, and the whole thing ruins your fancy kitchen look.
If you have a pet, it drives you crazy when you come home from work and see that your dog’s feeding station looks like a disaster zone. Plus, that old plastic water bowl holds onto smells no matter how many times you scrub it.
Take a deep breath. Your kitchen can be glorious again while keeping your furry friend happy. We’ve rounded up our top 14 stylish cat food bowl designs that will blend seamlessly into your fabulously designed kitchen while your pup is pampered.
#1: The Chunky Ribbed Bowl That Solves Your Kitchen Clutter
This matte ivory ceramic base totally changes how your pet’s feeding station looks. Those flimsy plastic dishes that we all start with just don’t stand up to a cat.
This is a very cute design. The stainless steel cat food bowl is removable. It’s inside a thick, pillowed ceramic bowl that makes it stand out on any floor. And I love the embossed nameplate on the front.
Cleaning it is a snap: just lift out the metal insert, wash it out and replace it.

#2: The Ultimate Sleek Chrome Feeders for Your Space
Are you sick of all those ugly pet gear items ruining the look of your living room?
I understand it is important that your home looks its best, but it is just as important that your furry best friends have the proper dining setup as well. So if you are looking for a dish to match your modern living room then this mirror-polished stainless steel cat food bowl is a great choice. With its stackable ring design this dish definitely gives the appearance of high end home décor, and no more ugly plastic dishes in your cabinets when people come over.
These bowls have heavy-duty metal rings that keep the bowls nestled together and keep them upright. The height gives your kitty enough room to dine comfortably.

I am totally in love with this glossy, hand-thrown white and teal marbled ceramic bowl. It has this gorgeous, dreamy blue, swirl to it.
If you have a pooch in need of a new dish, this hand crafted ceramic cat food bowl sits on a solid pedestal. The side rim is angled to keep their whiskers safe.

Too Cute! You have to see this little tiger bowl!
If your pup eats fast, this yellow ceramic cat food bowl will help make mealtime so fun. The sweet little tiger face is printed on the outside of this bowl and those little painted ears are sticking up from the sides. There are a few little stubby paws on the base of this bowl that prop it up.
Love the glossy yellow finish. It looks so warm and cozy like something you’d put in your home decor. No more ugly plastic bowls in the kitchen!! And they are so smooth and the ceramic wipes clean in two seconds!

#5: The Wooden Stand Combo
I drop my dog’s bowl on the floor, and it makes the kitchen dirty. So I give him a stylish lift with the pale wood stand which holds a light blue speckled bowl.
This rather cute wooden four-legged frame prevents neck strain. Food can be poured into the aqua ceramic cat food bowl which has ample room for a generous pile of brown kibble, while keeping mealtime tidy. A tiny brand logo is stamped on the front leg.

Whether you want to spruce up your kitchen, or just give boring plastic dishes a run for their money, this ceramic cat food bowl is a great alternative.
Pro Tip: I keep a damp microfiber cloth nearby to wipe down the natural stone insert after messy meals to keep those gorgeous neutral tones pristine.

#7: The Mid-Century Modern Pet Station of Your Dreams
Have you ever gotten tired of all the bulky, plastic pet gear that ruins your living room?
Girl, I completely get it. That is why I am obsessed with this gorgeous tiered wood feeder. It looks like a custom vintage piece from West Elm.
These stairs feature a rich walnut-finished wood base and are accentuated by two matching angled platforms with rich walnut-finished wood. Each shelf holds a shallow off-white ceramic cat food bowl with a beautiful matte glaze. The platforms are supported by a sleek vertical stainless steel rod which is topped by a tiny dark wood accent cube.
The staggered height and tilted design will make mealtime more ergonomic for your pup or cat. No more neck strain! This stylish food bar tucks neatly against the wall next to your built in cabinetry without taking up all of your floor space. The removable ceramic dishes make cleanup easy after dinner.

Mixing rich, warm grain wood with a minimalist stainless steel, this double dish looks stunning on your kitchen floor, matching the bright red cabinet in the background.
Your dog needs to eat with their neck in proper alignment and this design makes eating much easier on their neck. The shiny bowls are easy to pop out and wash in the sink. No more hours of scrubbing dried kibble from the sides of bowls.
It keeps mealtime tidy. The heavy wooden block doesn’t slide around when an enthusiastic eater starts gobbling up food. This isn’t plastic tray. This is furniture! It looks nice and tidy. If you are looking for a cat food bowl station which can be made part of your interior’s decor, this is the right one! Because it is made of stainless steel, it will not be covered with bacteria.

I saw these gorgeous colors and knew you’d love them in your home!
Very cute, with a matte cream ceramic bowl on a lovely dark brown carved wooden base and set at a friendly little angle so snack time is comfy for your furry friends neck.
Although it’s not stainless steel, I like that it’s a smooth, glazed ceramic bowl. It cleans up in seconds after every meal and fits in well with our minimalist wooden decor without screaming “PET SUPPLIES!”
Pro Tip: Keep a damp cloth on hand to wipe down that wood stand after messy meals and it will stay looking brand-new.

#10: A sleek raised station for clean eating
Are you tired of your dog leaving mealtime messes on the rug? Try this raised wooden feeder stand to keep your floors clean and your dog comfortable.
We love the combination of natural wood and the sturdy black metal of this pet bed, plus the light gray silicone mat to catch any stray kibble. Two shiny stainless steel pet bowls drop into the surface for your furry friend to eat off, and stay secure in the bed.
The angled drop-in style works great if you want a practical stainless steel cat food bowl setup that blends nicely with modern decor. Plus, lifting the bowls off the ground helps prevent neck strain. Cleaning is super simple too—just pop out the metal inserts and wipe down the wood.

#11: The Prettiest Little Dining Setup for Your Furry Best Friend
A heavy-gauge ceramic bowl and a gorgeous pastel blue satin mat make snacking a work of art.
Everyone knows I love me some minimalism, and this cream-colored ceramic cat food bowl would look perfect in my living room! The pedestal it sits on is matching, and it’s fluted which is so cute. The bowl is just the right size for kibble or wet food, and the heavy base keeps your dog from shoving it across the hardwood floor.
The pretty sky-blue placemat which comes with it catches all the rogue crumbs and spills, with such ease. Cleaning up after messy eaters never looked so chic! I love how the ruffled edges soften the look under the stairs!
If you have a clean, modern and cozy style home, this piece will blend right in and no plastic eyesore!

#12: Sleek Minimalist Dining Station
Ever watch your pup struggle to reach their kibble on the floor? It breaks your heart, right? You need something that looks good and saves their neck.
If you are searching for a matte dark gray feeding stand, then you are in the right place. It also has a white ceramic cat food bowl which fits perfectly right into the top cutout. The whole set sits on a matching non-slip gray silicone mat. No more sliding dishes across your nice tile floors. Of course, the neutral tones will fit into a modern and minimal room.
Pro Tip: Daily wipe down of the rubber mat helps to keep dust and stray crumbs out of the area under the base.

#13: Sage Green Ergonomic Diner
Glossy pale sage green ceramic swoops up to a tilted basin for a sculptural silhouette on your counter.
Feeding time is so much easier with this bowl. Cats can get messy just like dogs when eating. My cat doesn’t have to strain her neck and eat from the floor. This ceramic cat food bowl sits on a wide rounded base which lifts ground meat and kibble up to a much more natural eating angle. It also wipes down easily with a wet rag which is great when you are running through your morning routine.

#14: Clean Lines and Chow Time
Totally game-changer. I love how modern this modern double station looks on your kitchen floor.
That crisp white metal stand that lifts everything up so your pup doesn’t have to strain her neck is lifting up a brilliant white ceramic cat food bowl with slow-feeder mazes built inside it to help slow down fast eaters. To the left of the stand is a matching smooth dish for fresh water. Everything pops against the gray concrete flooring and looks lovely next to the gray woven rug.

The Hidden Trait That Actually Keeps Your Cat’s Feeding Station Spotless
I know you spent hours making your dog’s corner Pinterest-perfect, but let’s talk about the cat part of your set-up for a moment. Whisker fatigue is real, and most people grab whatever dish is closest to them, which is a mistake.
If your furry best friend scoops food out of their bowl with their paw on your clean floors then it’s most likely your dish is too deep. You need a wide, shallow ceramic cat food bowl for your pet so that his sensitive whiskers don’t brush the sides of the dish while eating.
Plus, porous plastic holds on to oils, which can cause cat acne. Gross! Try switching to a heavy stoneware bowl, which will hold firm during the most frantic of meal times. Plus, it will blend in with your decor (and the wood floor).
Trust me. I’ve been there. You don’t need to clean up crumb, your cat will actually finish all the food.
Spoil Your Kitty Right Now
Choosing the best cat food bowl might be one of the easiest ways to keep your cat’s food consumption relatively mess free.
While dinner is simmering on the stove, you can whip up these nutritious meals for your pup.
