Round Pet Bowl Stand EXTRA-LARGE 7 cup Single Bowl Double Bowl

A height difference of just 3 cm can change the posture of your pet while they eat. While bowl capacity may double, it is also important to consider whether your pet can reach the bottom of the bowl. The Round Pet Bowl Stand was the first series from 9house, defined by its circular design language. The series is divided into three sizes—Small, Large, and Extra-Large—each available in single or double bowl options. First, determine the bowl size based on your pet’s appetite, then measure the height. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/1B2A6284-1024x819.jpg EXTRA-LARGE: Features a larger body and 35 mm legs; only available with stainless steel bowls. ■ Legs attached at the edge, not underneath Most bowl stands on the market attach their legs to the bottom of the body. The four legs of our Round Pet Bowl Stand are attached to the side edges. This was not a calculated design decision; it was a beautiful mistake. When the first prototype was made, the circumference was too narrow. To avoid drilling through the inner wall, we had to drill into the edge of the lower rim. The result was a pleasant surprise—an unintended compromise that created a graceful arc extending upward at the joint. Furthermore, to make the best use of materials, after developing the side-attached leg design on the first prototype, the designer added wooden reinforcements to find the optimal thickness for the body, finally achieving the perfect proportions. Great design does not happen all at once; life gives you clues (like the side-attached legs), but finding the right proportion requires effort. That first prototype, which we couldn’t bear to waste and which features the added wood reinforcement, still shows the adhesive marks today—it remains at the designer’s home, still being used by their Shiba Inu. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/IMG_7402-2-683x1024.jpg Joints are finished with an upward curve, a result of having to adjust our cutting angle to avoid drilling through the inner circumference. ■ Six bowl types, each with unique leg thickness Meteor 20mm, Peanut 20mm, Big-Eater 30mm, King-Kong 33mm, and EXTRA-LARGE 35mm. A difference of just 2 to 3 millimeters is barely visible to the naked eye, but when placed together, the proportions are immediately apparent. If the legs are too thin, large stands look unstable; if they are too thick, small stands look bulky. Changing the Meteor’s leg diameter from 18mm to 20mm is the **only dimensional change** in this series after so many years. The designer spent a long time deciding on this 2mm increase—making it rounder and even more stable. ■ Milled from solid wood, continuous wood grain The stand body is milled from a single piece of solid wood. Common retail products often use finger-jointed panels to maximize material use and keep prices affordable, but the grain breaks repeatedly, and once milled into a circular shape, the natural beauty of the wood grain is lost. Therefore, the designer chose solid beech: selecting large enough blocks to allow the natural beauty of the grain to emerge through multiple processes. Beech has a fine texture, resulting in a smoother finish. While walnut or oak could be used, their wood fibers are coarser, making finishing and moisture-sealing more labor-intensive without guaranteeing better results. EXTRA-LARGE is the only exception. Because it is so large, finding solid wood that is both thick and wide enough is difficult and costly, so the **bottom line is a maximum of two pieces joined together**—but we still insist on not using small-piece panels. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/1B2A6349-1024x819.jpg On the EXTRA-LARGE stand, the grain follows the curve. While solid pieces in this size are hard to find and sometimes require two pieces, we still avoid using small-piece boards. ■ Sanding is the most labor-intensive process The most time-consuming part of production is the sanding—a great deal of it. Because the circular body is milled from solid wood, the grain runs in both natural and reverse directions. While standard grain is easy to sand, reverse grain can easily create pits. To ensure the entire stand feels smooth, it must be meticulously sanded using progressively finer sandpaper. Wood grain behaves differently on the outer ring versus the inner bowl hole, requiring different sanding techniques. Since large sanding machines cannot reach the inner hole, and manual sandpaper is not efficient enough, we use a specialized vertical sander. The 90-degree angle on the circumference requires special care—the finish doesn't adhere easily at corners, and if not properly sanded, it becomes susceptible to moisture. It must be hand-sanded until smooth with a gentle curve so the finish can bond properly. Finally, there are the leg holes. After milling, the hole edges can be sharp and the walls thin, so each hole edge is manually rounded with a small grinding wheel to ensure a smooth transition, as the paint might peel if the wall thickness is insufficient. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/IMG_7371-1-1024x683.jpg The arc around the hole is manually ground out one by one using a small sanding wheel. ■ Precise bowl hole drilling The bowl hole is drilled slightly larger than the bowl diameter, but by no more than 5 mm. The designer originally thought that a perfect circle would suffice. The issue isn't precision—it’s that ceramic bowls are made of clay and kiln-fired, so they are not always perfectly round. Initially, the designer thought their compass was broken because the bowls wouldn't fit. This 5 mm margin accounts for the deformation of ceramic bowls. Too tight, and the bowl won't fit; too loose, and the bowl will wobble or tip over. Just to be safe, the designer physically tests every bowl before shipment. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/%E8%A9%A6%E6%8B%8D2-1085-1024x819.jpg The gap between the bowl rim and the wood surface allows for the natural deformation of ceramic bowls. ■ Custom-molded foot pads The four silicone foot pads are semi-circular covers custom-molded by a supplier, approximately 1 to 2 mm thick. It took a lot of effort to find the right partner. We briefly considered dipping the feet in silicone ourselves—spending three days as amateur chemists, buying raw silicone and color pigments. But the results were unsatisfactory: the coating was only 0.1 to 0.3 mm thick, lacked durability, wore off quickly, and the consistency and drip were unstable. The designer decisively rejected this method. These silicone foot pads have proven their worth—since launch, every customer has been satisfied with their performance, and no one has reported them hardening or becoming brittle. The only issue is when customers lose them during cleaning. >< https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/IMG_8063-2-3-1024x683.jpg It took a long time to find a supplier willing to mold these semi-circular covers. Our DIY version was too thin and wore away quickly. ■ The finish resists splashes The surface is finished with water-based wood paint; we do not use solvent-based (oil) paints. Splashed water will bead up and can be wiped away. However, it cannot withstand prolonged soaking—if water is left to pool on the surface, the finish will age rapidly and eventually break down. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/IMG_2385-1024x682.jpg Water beads up and is easily wiped off, but don’t let it accumulate, or the finish will age faster. ■ Three sizes, three types of pets The three sizes of the Round Pet Bowl Stand vary by more than just bowl capacity. The body size, leg thickness, and available heights change accordingly. You can first select the bowl type (Small, Large, or Extra-Large) based on your pet’s regular appetite (the cup amount per meal). Then, read on to choose the height. ■ EXTRA-LARGE: For pets like Boxers and German Shepherds (30 to 45 cm) EXTRA-LARGE stands come only with stainless steel bowls: 2200ml per bowl, approx. 7 cups, with a 22 cm wide and 7 cm deep bowl. This model is intended for large breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds. We do not offer ceramic bowls for this size, not because we can't, but because a 2200ml ceramic bowl would be extremely large and heavy, making daily cleaning inconvenient, and the risk of breakage during shipping is high. Customers often ask if a 45 cm high stand is stable. The legs are splayed outward at a 20-degree angle; the higher the stand, the wider the footprint, making it more stable at greater heights. The EXTRA-LARGE body is large enough that the leg spread remains proportional and natural. With a 35 mm leg diameter, these are the thickest legs in the series. ■ The evolution of the bowl stand series, step by step The first bowl stand was made for our own Shiba Inu. At the time, she was over a year old and eating on the floor from a small stainless steel bowl. We observed three things: the bowl was a bit small; it had to be placed on a mat, or she would push it away while eating; and she was restless, always making a mess. After finishing our first Kangaroo Nest, when it was time to brainstorm the next product, a bowl stand naturally came to mind. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/IMG_5300-1024x1024.jpg The Shiba Inu in the photo is where it all started. Her custom height is 18 cm, not in our standard range; it was made especially for her. Initially, there were only three types of bowls, and we gave them individual names to make them easy for customers to remember. As the series developed, these names became overly complex, so we simplified: using "Round Pet Bowl Stand" as the umbrella term and distinguishing by bowl size and single/double bowl configurations. Now, choosing a stand doesn't require memorizing names—just measure the height and calculate the food amount. ■ How to choose ■ First, determine if you need a bowl stand If your pet is very small and only needs 3 or 4 cm of elevation, a simple bowl is sufficient, provided it doesn't slide. If you are specifically looking for a stand because the bowl slides during energetic eating, please contact the designer to discuss the best solution. ■ Bowl size depends on intake Bowl size is based on appetite, not height. We have three bowl tiers, each with single and double bowl options: Bowl Size | Single | Double | Capacity Small | Meteor Stand | Peanut Stand | Ceramic 275ml (approx. 0.8 cups of dry food) Large | Big-Eater Stand | King-Kong Stand | Ceramic 755ml (approx. 2 cups of dry food) or Stainless Steel 1100ml (approx. 3.5 cups) EXTRA-LARGE | EXTRA-LARGE,SINGLE | EXTRA-LARGE,DOUBLE | Stainless Steel 2200ml (approx. 7 cups, **stainless steel only**) Cups are based on a 240ml measuring cup for dry food; ml represents measured water capacity. Use single bowls for food, and double bowls for food and water. Don't pick a bowl that is too large. If the pet is small and the bowl is too large, they will eventually **be unable to reach the food in the center**. Always check appetite first, then height. ■ Height: Please measure for yourself Every pet is different, so height cannot be determined by breed—please measure accurately. Have your pet stand flat with their body relaxed. Feel for the bony prominence at the top of the shoulder blade, then find the elbow joint of the front leg. Measure the distance to the ground from the midpoint between these two points. The bowl sits about 1 cm higher than the stand surface, which can be ignored—simply match your measurement to our standard heights. Choose the **maximum height that does not exceed your measurement**; round down, not up. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/08/%E7%A2%97%E6%9E%B6%E9%AB%98%E5%BA%A6%E9%87%8F%E6%B8%AC_%E7%8B%97-1024x655.png Measure the distance from the ground to the point between the top of the shoulder blade and the front elbow joint. Measurement methods and conversion rules are based on 9house’s practical experience and do not follow AKC/FCI breed standards; figures are approximate ranges, not guaranteed specifications. If you are unsure after measuring, or if your number falls between two tiers, feel free to contact the designer for advice based on our past experience. ■ Flat vs. Inclined We generally recommend flat bowls. An inclined bowl holds about 10% less capacity. Inclined is recommended in these cases: - If your measurement falls between two tiers—use the larger tier with an incline, which will lower the front edge. - Short-nosed breeds (French Bulldogs, Pugs, etc.)—an angle allows them to fit their face into the bowl. - Standard Chihuahuas—an 8 cm inclined model lowers the front edge to about 6.5 cm. - Pets already accustomed to inclined bowls—there is no need to change their habits. Listed height is at the **center of the bowl**. For an 8 cm inclined model: the back edge is 9.5 cm, center is 8 cm, front edge is 6.5 cm—a 3 cm difference. All inclined models have a 3 cm drop. These are suggestions, not requirements. If you prefer inclined, we will make it that way. ■ Ceramic vs. Stainless Steel bowls Bowl Types | Ceramic | Stainless Steel Small Single/Double | 275ml | — Large Single/Double | 755ml | 1100ml EXTRA-LARGE Single/Double | — | 2200ml **EXTRA-LARGE is stainless steel only**—there is no corresponding ceramic bowl for that capacity. Ceramic bowls are microwave safe. Stainless steel bowls are high-capacity and shatterproof but are not microwave safe. ■ Is your pet’s height not among the options? 9house has offered custom heights since the launch of our first stand—not as an afterthought. We know how important the right fit is for every pet. When your measured height isn't listed, or your pet has special needs, please use the "Contact Designer" feature on the platform. We will provide advice based on our experience. If you are certain about your required height, you can select "Custom Height" (Small 8–20 cm, Large 10–40 cm, EXTRA-LARGE 20–55 cm) and specify the exact height in your order notes. Other requirements for bowl material or quantity can also be included in the notes. ■ Specifications Bowl Type | Default Heights | Leg Diameter | Bowl Included | Bowl Width × Depth Small Single (Meteor) | 8/15 cm | 20 mm | 1x Ceramic 275ml | 12 × 4 cm Small Double (Peanut) | 8/15 cm | 20 mm | 2x Ceramic 275ml | 12 × 4 cm Large Single (Big-Eater) | 15/22/30 cm | 30 mm | 1x Ceramic 755ml or 1x Stainless 1100ml | Ceramic 16 × 6 cm / Stainless 16 × 7.5 cm Large Double (King-Kong) | 15/22/30 cm | 33 mm | 2x Ceramic 755ml or 2x Stainless 1100ml | Ceramic 16 × 6 cm / Stainless 16 × 7.5 cm EXTRA-LARGE Single | 30/37/45 cm | 35 mm | 1x Stainless 2200ml | 22 × 7 cm EXTRA-LARGE Double | 30/37/45 cm | 35 mm | 2x Stainless 2200ml | 22 × 7 cm ■ Three checkpoints for formaldehyde control Formaldehyde emissions in engineered boards are graded into three tiers; the legal threshold in Taiwan is F3, with F1 being the highest. Grade | Formaldehyde Emission (Avg) | Significance F1 | ≤ 0.3 mg/L | Highest grade, equivalent to Japan's F☆☆☆☆. The best rating for engineered wood furniture. F2 | ≤ 0.5 mg/L | Common in Taiwan/Japan; 1.7x the allowance of F1. F3 | ≤ 1.5 mg/L | Minimum legal threshold in Taiwan. 5x the allowance of F1. However, the solid wood materials used by 9house are not on this chart. We have strict standards for raw materials, glue, and paint. **1. Materials:** This classification applies to engineered boards (particleboard, compressed wood), which require glue and therefore formaldehyde. 9house uses natural solid wood, which contains no added formaldehyde and requires no grading. **2. Glue:** Solid wood boards are often narrow, and wider boards or structural joints require adhesive. We use water-based woodworking glue, free of formaldehyde-based resins. **3. Paint:** Water-based wood paint was tested by the SGS Chemical Laboratory in Kaohsiung and found to be below the detection limit of 0.1 mg/L (F1 threshold is 0.3). Report KC/2017/60064A-01, June 14, 2017. Sample tested was EPnS water-based wood paint, not the final product. We do not claim our paint is food-grade, as we don't expect you to drink it. Stand Body | Made in Taiwan, milled from solid beech, finished with water-based wood paint Height Tolerance | Handcrafted from solid wood, approx. ±1 cm Bowl Incline | Flat or inclined available; inclined models have a 3 cm drop, listed height = bowl center Silicone Pads | 4 included Shipping | Flat-pack. All four legs are removable and hand-tightened into the body. Assembly instructions included. ■ Frequently Asked Questions ■ Some pets don't actually need a stand If your pet is small and only needs 3 or 4 cm, a simple bowl is enough, as long as it doesn't slide. If the bowl is sliding, then a stand makes sense. ■ Assembly The four legs are hand-tightened; no tools required, no hardware to lose. Before shipping, every single unit is fully assembled to ensure the correct leg diameters, heights match the order, and the legs fit smoothly into the body. We check it, then disassemble it for packaging. ■ Do ceramic bowls wobble? Although the bowl hole is deliberately drilled up to 5 mm larger than the bowl, this is because kiln-fired ceramic bowls are rarely perfectly round. We manually test every shipment to ensure the bowl is stable when in use. ■ Are the bowls microwave safe? Ceramic bowls are microwave safe. **Stainless steel bowls are NOT.** Please transfer food to another container if heating. ■ Surface and cleaning The surface is finished with water-based wood paint. Clean daily with a cloth dampened with water or a mild detergent. **Do not use alcohol**—water-based paint is inherently sensitive to alcohol. The finish resists splashes but not soaking. Wipe up spills promptly. ■ Natural appearance of wood Being a solid wood product, grain, color variation, and knots are natural. Knots cannot be perfectly filled—patching makes them more conspicuous—so we strategically place knots on the inside or unseen sides during assembly. ■ Do ceramic bowls break in transit? Early on, we faced breakage during international shipping. We found a solution by using inflatable air cushions to fix the bowl beside the protected stand. The breakage rate has since dropped to near zero. ■ Ready to order? Select your bowl type, height, and bowl style, then add to cart.
