Modern Elevated Pet Feeder for Small Dogs & Cats
Modern Elevated Pet Feeding
The Licker Store’s Keaton elevated feeder makes your cat’s water bowl look like it belongs in an interior design magazine.
It was a Sunday morning refresh of my apartment — the kind where you rearrange things and suddenly notice how chaotic the pet corner looks. My cat Margot’s old plastic bowls were shoved against the baseboard, scratched up and frankly embarrassing. I swapped in the Keaton lucite elevated feeder and genuinely stood back and appreciated it like a piece of furniture. That’s not something I’ve ever said about a pet bowl.
What I Love
There’s a lot to like here, and most of it is about how the Licker Store Keaton elevated feeder manages to be both good-looking and functionally smart at the same time.
- The clear lucite base catches light beautifully — it doesn’t disappear into your floor, but it doesn’t clash with anything either.
- The black and gold color scheme pairs with basically any kitchen or living room without looking like a pet product.
- Both 20oz stainless steel bowls are generously sized for a small-to-medium cat or dog — no constant refilling mid-day.
- The raised height reduces neck strain during meals, which is a real consideration for older small dogs or cats with any stiffness.
- Stainless steel bowls lift out cleanly for washing — no fighting with a fixed insert.
What to Watch For
This is a sleek, minimal elevated feeder, and that minimalism comes with a few tradeoffs worth knowing before you order. The lucite base, while gorgeous, will show every nose smudge and water drip — plan on a quick wipe-down every couple of days if you’re neat about things.
- Not ideal for large breeds or pets over roughly 30 lb — the S/M sizing is genuinely small.
- The feeder sits light on smooth floors, so an enthusiastic eater might nudge it slightly during meals.
Who It’s For
This is the right pick if you have a cat or small dog under 25 pounds and you actually care how your space looks. It’s also worth considering for senior small dogs with early joint stiffness — the raised bowl position takes pressure off the neck and shoulders during daily meals. If you have a 60-pound Lab who eats like he’s angry at the bowl, keep looking.

How to Use It
Scenario 1: Daily feeding station for a small cat or dog — set both bowls in place, one for food and one for water, and let the raised position do the quiet work of supporting posture over hundreds of meals a year.
Scenario 2: Post-vet recovery setup for a pet with neck or shoulder soreness. The gentle elevation of this elevated feeder means your pet doesn’t have to dip their head to the floor while they’re healing, which vets often recommend during recovery weeks.
What People Are Saying
Quick FAQ
Is the lucite base durable, or does it scratch easily?
Lucite is more impact-resistant than glass, but it can surface-scratch over time with rough handling. For a stationary feeding station, it holds up well in everyday use.
Do the stainless steel bowls fit securely in the base?
Yes — they sit in fitted openings and don’t rattle or tip during normal eating. A very enthusiastic small dog might shift the whole unit slightly, but the bowls themselves stay put.
Is this elevated feeder a good fit for a kitten or puppy?
It works best for adult small breeds and cats. A very young kitten may find the height awkward until they’ve grown into it — check the 5-inch rise against your pet’s current shoulder height before ordering.
The Verdict
The Licker Store Keaton is a well-made, genuinely attractive elevated feeder that earns its place in a thoughtfully decorated home. At this price point, the combination of real lucite and stainless steel is hard to find without stepping into much more premium territory. It won’t work for large dogs, and you will be wiping fingerprints off that base. If you have a small pet and you’re tired of ugly plastic bowls cluttering your floor, buy this one.
