SQUARE Pet Bowl Stand LARGE 2-3.5 cup Single/Double Bowl

In contrast to our rounded designs, the SQUARE bowl stand starts with a rectangular natural solid wood board. We apply a generous radius to the top and bottom edges while keeping the other corners vertically crisp. The ends are slightly tapered, maintaining a clean, boxy profile within a compact design. The SQUARE bowl stand comes in three sizes: Small, Large, and Extra Large, each available in single and double bowl versions. ■ Rounded top and bottom, vertical profile elsewhere The design of the SQUARE bowl stand is defined by three intentional choices: We apply **large rounded edges only to the top and bottom**, keeping the rest of the corners vertical. Then, we **taper the ends slightly** to give the straight lines a subtle, refined variation. It is not entirely sharp-angled—that would be too harsh. Nor is it fully rounded—that would revert to our rounded collection style. **It is about keeping the circle within the square.** https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/IMG_8492-2.pet-bowl-stand-Butterfly-_Large-1024x819.jpg With a rounded upper and lower edge sandwiching a flat vertical side. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/Thickness-comp-1024x670.jpg This "round-straight-round" silhouette is repeated across all four board sizes. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/1B2A1384-2-1024x683.jpg Viewed from above, the ends of the board are beveled. This was the feature that inspired our original name, "Butterfly." ■ Legs inserted from the underside The legs are inserted into the bottom of the board, leaving a consistent border of wood around each leg. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/IMG_8079.pet-bowl-stand-Butterfly-_Large-1024x683.jpg With the legs recessed into the bottom of the board, the finish looks clean when viewed from beneath. ■ Legs and board thickness shared with the rounded series The SQUARE series shares components with our rounded series: the same legs and the same board thickness increments. The only difference is the board shape—rectangular rather than rounded. As a result, the SQUARE series benefits from years of refinement: detachable screw-in legs, flat-pack design, and custom-molded silicone feet. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/IMG_7864.pet-bowl-stand-Butterfly-_Large-1024x819.jpg The four silicone feet are custom-molded, semi-circular covers with a thickness of approximately 1 to 2 mm. ■ Precise bowl hole drilling The bowl opening is drilled slightly larger than the bowl diameter, but by no more than 5 mm. The designer initially assumed a perfect circle would suffice. The challenge wasn't manufacturing precision—it was the ceramic bowls themselves. Ceramic shrinks during kiln firing, so they are rarely perfectly round. The 5 mm allowance compensates for these natural variations. A fit that is too tight makes the bowl impossible to insert; a fit that is too loose causes rattling or tipping. To ensure the best fit, the designer personally tests every bowl with its specific stand before shipping. ■ Custom-molded silicone feet We commissioned a supplier to create custom-molded semi-circular silicone feet, approximately 1 to 2 mm thick. Finding the right partner for this was a labor of love. We even experimented with DIY silicone coating, spending days as amateur chemists buying raw silicone and pigment, but the results were inconsistent—the coating was too thin (0.1 to 0.3 mm), wore off quickly, and the finish lacked durability. The designer firmly rejected that approach. The final custom-molded feet have proven reliable; our customers are highly satisfied with their performance, with no reports of them hardening or becoming brittle. The only issue reported is the occasional loss during disassembly! >< https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/IMG_8509.pet-bowl-stand-Butterfly-_Large-1024x819.jpg The semi-circular covers were hard to find. The DIY version was simply too thin and wore away too quickly. ■ Moisture-resistant finish Finished with a water-based wood lacquer, we avoid solvent-based (oil-based) paints. Water splashes form beads and can be easily wiped away. However, the finish cannot withstand prolonged soaking. Allowing water to pool on the surface will accelerate the degradation of the lacquer layer. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/IMG_0032.pet-bowl-stand-Butterfly-_Large-1024x683.jpg Water beads up and is easy to wipe clean; just avoid letting water pool, as this will age the finish prematurely. ■ Three sizes for three types of pets The SQUARE series comes in three sizes. The board length, leg thickness, and available heights scale proportionally with the bowl size. Identify your pet's size below to choose the right fit. ■ LARGE: For pets 15 to 30 cm tall, such as Shiba Inus and mixed breeds The LARGE bowl is 16 cm wide, with a 755ml ceramic bowl (approx. 2 cups) or an 1100ml stainless steel bowl (approx. 3.5 cups). Both single and double versions are available. Shiba Inus and similar medium to medium-large breeds typically fit this size. Standard heights are 15, 22, and 30 cm. The board is longer and thicker, with 30 mm legs (33 mm for the double bowl). The legs are splayed outward at 20 degrees; the higher the stand, the wider the stance. The board on the LARGE model is long enough that even at a 30 cm height, the legs remain within the visual proportions of the board without looking awkward. This wider stance also enhances overall stability. Ceramic bowls are microwave and dishwasher safe. Stainless steel bowls have an additional 350ml capacity and are drop-resistant, though they cannot be microwaved. If your pet likes to carry their bowl around, the stainless steel option is the worry-free choice. ■ Completing the circle Our collection features two main design lines: the ROUNDED series and the SQUARE series. The SQUARE series was launched after the ROUNDED series had undergone two to three years of market validation, allowing us to mature our processes from sourcing raw wood to final shipping. With this accumulated experience, we felt ready for the next step. Our motivation came from two sources: customer interest in varied designs, and the designer's personal creative journey: "We have explored the language of circles extensively. As a designer, I found myself asking: Can we add another series to complete the concept?" The way to make the circle more complete was to introduce the square. **"There is a circle within the square, and a square within the circle."** It was originally called the "Butterfly" stand, named for its flared ends. We later renamed it "SQUARE" not because we didn't like the original name, but to create a pair with the ROUNDED series. Placing the two side-by-side makes the design difference immediately clear to our customers. https://9housedesign.com/zh/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/1B2A1402-1024x683.jpg A rectangular board with rounded top and bottom edges and slightly tapered ends—this is the SQUARE. ■ How to choose ■ First, determine if you need a bowl stand If your pet is very small and only requires a bowl height of 3–4 cm, a simple bowl on the floor is sufficient, provided it does not slide. However, if you are looking for a stand specifically because your pet's bowl slides during excited eating, we would be happy to discuss the best solution with you. ■ Choosing bowl size based on intake Bowl size is determined by how much your pet eats, not by height. The SQUARE series offers three bowl tiers, each in single or double versions: Bowl Size | Capacity | Single | Double Small | 275ml Ceramic (approx. 0.8 cup) | Yes | Yes Large | 755ml Ceramic (approx. 2 cup) or 1100ml Stainless Steel (approx. 3.5 cup) | Yes | Yes Extra Large | 2200ml Stainless Steel (approx. 7 cup, **Stainless Steel Only**) | Yes | Yes *Cup measurements based on a 240ml scoop of dry kibble; ml measurements are actual water capacity. Use single bowls for food, and double bowls for food on one side and water on the other. Avoid bowls that are too large. If a small pet uses a bowl that is too big, they may **struggle to reach the food in the center**. Always match the bowl size to their appetite first, then select the height. ■ Height: Measure it yourself Every pet is different, so breed standards aren't reliable—please measure your pet manually. Have your pet stand straight with their body relaxed. Measure the distance from the ground to the point halfway between the top of their shoulder blade and their front elbow joint. The rim of the bowl sits about 1 cm above the stand's surface; you can ignore this—simply match your measurement to the nearest standard height. Choose the **largest height that does not exceed your measurement**, and always round down. *Measurement methods are based on 9house designer 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 exactly between two sizes, feel free to contact our designer for advice based on our extensive experience. ■ Standard heights for the six bowl types Bowl Type | Standard Heights Small Single | 8/15 cm Small Double | 8/15 cm Large Single | 15/22/30 cm Large Double | 15/22/30 cm Extra Large Single | 30/37/45 cm Extra Large Double | 30/37/45 cm **Not every height is available for every model**—Small only goes up to 15 cm, while Extra Large starts at 30 cm. Once you choose your bowl size, the height options will follow. The main difference for small vs. medium/large pets lies in **height** (small stands start at 8 cm, large ones at 15 cm) and **bowl size** (a small pet using a large bowl may not reach the food in the center). ■ Flat or Inclined? We generally recommend flat bowls. An inclined bowl reduces the effective capacity by about 10%. Inclined bowls are recommended for: - Situations where your measurement falls between two sizes—choosing the larger size with an inclined bowl lowers the front edge. - Short-nosed breeds (French Bulldogs, Pugs, etc.)—an angled bowl allows their face to reach the food comfortably. - Chihuahuas of normal size—an 8 cm inclined model results in a front edge of approximately 6.5 cm. - Pets already accustomed to inclined bowls—there is no need to change their habits. The labeled height refers to the **center of the bowl surface**. For an 8 cm inclined model, the rear edge is 9.5 cm, the center is 8 cm, and the front edge is 6.5 cm, creating a 3 cm tilt. All inclined models feature this 3 cm drop. These are recommendations, not rules. We are happy to fulfill your preference for an inclined model. ■ Ceramic or Stainless Steel? Refer to this table to see which bowl options are available for each model: Bowl Type | Ceramic | Stainless Steel Small Single/Double | 275ml | — Large Single/Double | 755ml | 1100ml Extra Large Single/Double | — | 2200ml **Extra Large models are only available with stainless steel bowls**, as there is no corresponding ceramic size. Ceramic is microwave-safe. Stainless steel has a larger capacity and is drop-resistant but cannot be microwaved. ■ Custom Heights Custom heights have been available since our first model, and the SQUARE series is no exception. If your calculated height isn't an option, or if your pet has specific physical requirements, please contact us via the site's "Contact Designer" feature before placing your order. If you are certain of your preferred height, you can select the "Custom Height" option in the dropdown menu (Small: 8–20 cm, Large: 10–40 cm, Extra Large: 20–55 cm) and note your specific requirements in the order comments. You can also specify any other material or quantity preferences there. ■ Prefer a rounded frame? All six bowl models, heights, and bowl types are available in our rounded frame version: the ROUNDED bowl stand. It shares the same leg and board thickness construction as the SQUARE series; the only difference is the shape of the board.

Our products are made from natural solid wood, so they do not fall into these categories. We maintain strict standards for Materials, Adhesives, and Finishes. **1. Materials:** Engineered wood uses adhesives that require regulation. We use natural solid wood, so no formaldehyde-containing additives are used. **2. Adhesives:** For joining and board lamination, we use water-based woodworking glue, not formaldehyde-based resins. **3. Finishes:** Our water-based lacquer was tested by SGS Kaohsiung and found to be below the detection limit of 0.1 mg/L (F1 threshold is 0.3 mg/L). Report KC/2017/60064A-01, June 14, 2017. The sample tested was the EPnS environment-friendly water-based lacquer, not the final product.

If you are specifically addressing the issue of sliding, then a stand is a logical choice. ■ Assembly The four legs are hand-screwed and require no tools or complex hardware. Every single piece is fully assembled by us before shipping to ensure the right parts, the correct height, and that the legs thread perfectly into the frame. We then disassemble it for packaging. ■ Will the ceramic bowl rattle? The bowl opening is drilled slightly larger than the bowl diameter (max 5 mm). This tolerance accounts for the natural variations in ceramic kiln firing. We test each specific bowl with its stand before shipping to ensure a secure fit. ■ Can I microwave the bowls? Ceramic bowls are microwave safe. **Stainless steel bowls are not.** If you use stainless steel, transfer food to another container before heating. ■ Surface care Finished with water-based wood lacquer. Clean daily with a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild neutral detergent. **Do not use alcohol**, as it can damage the water-based finish. ■ Natural characteristics of wood As a natural wood product, grain, color variation, and knots are inherent. We cannot hide knots, so we carefully select our lumber to place knots and deep color variations on the inner, non-visible sides. ■ Will the ceramic bowl break during shipping? We encountered breakage issues with early international shipments. We eventually adopted a method similar to fruit packaging: the stand is protected, and the ceramic bowl is placed inside an inflatable protective bag next to the stand, using the rigid stand to help prevent damage. Breakage rates have been nearly zero since. ■ Ready to choose? Select your bowl type, height, and finish, then add to your cart.
