Small Pet Gourmet Stands ™

(Patent Pending) |
 |
The size of the combined pet water bottle and elevated food dish stand for small pets is determined by
the pet’s mature height at the withers (top of the shoulder area). The food dish height is stationary.
A stand basically just holds the water bottle and/or food bowl but proper height adjustment of the bottle is important (please see
What You Need to Know). For this reason our stands are made in two pieces, the stand and
the water bottle support unit. You have the ability to easily adjust the height of the water bottle on your stand either up or down to
reach the most comfortable position for your pet to eat or drink. This is an added benefit for pet owners with immature pets as the
level can be adjusted up as your pet matures.
Height Adjustment of the Water Bottle
There is no “exact rule” on where to position the water bottle, just some guidelines to go by. It should
be adjusted to where it is in the most comfortable position for the pet (see What You Need to
Know) to ensure that they drink an adequate supply of water.
Observe your pet as they drink. Do they stretch or strain to reach the tube tip? Do they twist their heads to the side in order to
drink? Do they look uncomfortable? If so, then make the appropriate adjustment either up or down until the pet is comfortable.
But keep in mind the pet’s physical condition and its preference. Is it a senior pet? Is the pet handicapped? Does the pet prefer to sit
when eating or drinking?
Remember that it is very important that each pet’s water source be adjusted to his or her level to make certain they drink an
adequate amount of water.
IMPORTANT: Before leaving your pet alone you must make sure your pet will use the water bottle and that the
water bottle is working properly. Please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions that came with your bottle and our
FAQ for important and helpful information.

Important: If you have mixed sized pets (for example say a Momma and her babies), then
you will need more than one size SPGS as it is very important that each pet’s water source be adjusted to his or her level to make certain
they can drink an adequate amount of water.
Note: PAWS Creations™ cannot be held responsible should a young pet’s mature height exceed the height range of the PAWS purchased.
SPGS are an acronym for the Small Pet Gourmet Stands™ (Patent Pending) and are for indoor use only.
