Beautiful Furniture, Made for Your Lab

Found in some of the finest homes and chosen by interior designers, our Labrador Retriever dog bowls are true furniture pieces, not pet supplies. They're made from sculptural wrought iron, architectural steel, gleaming 304 stainless steel and warm solid hardwood. Choose a finish that complements your Lab and your home: mocha beside a chocolate Lab, matte black with a black Lab, or walnut and white for a yellow Lab. Raised dog bowls bring food and water up to your Lab's level. That means less stooping at the neck and front legs, a comfort senior Labs with stiff hips feel at every meal, and one elegant piece in place of scattered floor dishes.

The Perfect Height for a Labrador

The top of the stand should sit at your dog's chest midpoint or lower. Adult Labs stand about 21.5" – 24.5" at the shoulder. Between sizes? Choose the shorter stand.

• 12" Stand, American & Field Labs: For taller, leaner, athletic Labs and most males. Choose from Slate, Pyramid, Moretti, Four Square, Regal, Arbor, Indus, Woodsman, Noor, Southern Maple and outdoor Porchside.
• 10" – 11" Stand, English & Show Labs, Smaller Females: For stockier, shorter-legged Labs. Choose from Baron, Henry, Vision, Chariot, Cityline, Pilsen and Libro 11".

Bringing home a Lab puppy? Labs do most of their growing in the first year. Start with our 7" – 8" medium stands, measure as they grow, and move up to an adult-height stand.

Designer Style, Built for Lab Life

• Built for an Enthusiastic Eater: Labs don't nibble. Wrought iron and steel, single-piece construction and no-slip rubber feet keep each stand planted, even when dinner is met with full-body excitement.
• Clean Water, Less Fur: That short, dense double coat sheds more than you'd expect. A raised bowl keeps floor-level fur and debris out of food and water, and stainless steel wipes clean in seconds.
• Ready for the Water-Loving Retriever: Labs drink the way they swim, with gusto. Noise-free rubber rims keep meals calm, and our waterproof silicone mat, made to fit under our diners, catches every splash and dribbling jowl. It comes in black or gray.
• Single, Double or Triple: A single stand works beautifully as a raised dog food bowl or a raised dog water bowl. A double diner pairs food and water. Labs love company, and for multi-dog homes a 3 bowl dog feeder like Slate or Baron makes a graceful multiple dog feeding station.
• Indoor & Outdoor: After a swim or a long retrieve, an outdoor elevated dog bowl keeps fresh water waiting. Libro Outdoor (11"), weatherproof Porchside (12"), Vision, Cityline and Pilsen (10") each make a refined outdoor dog feeding station.

The Bowls: Where Quality Really Shows

Every diner comes with removable, high-quality stainless steel dog bowls, up to 3 quarts on our large and XL stands.

• Our Signature Bowl (201 Stainless Steel), Included With Nearly Every Diner: 201 is the stainless steel most widely used across the pet bowl industry. Ours are food-safe, heavy-duty and finished with our distinctive rubber rim, which keeps each bowl snug in the stand so it won't slide, spin or clatter.
• The Upgrade: Human Food-Grade (304 Stainless Steel): For the ultimate in hygiene and corrosion resistance. Its higher nickel content makes it the same quality used in premium human cookware. It's standard on our Slate diners, a hallmark of NMN Designs, and available as an extra set.

Keep a spare set on hand so a clean bowl is always ready while the other is in the dishwasher. Shop extra 304 bowl sets or extra 201 bowl sets.

Raised Dog Bowls with Slow Feeder

The Lab appetite is legendary. Researchers have even linked a gene variation, common in Labradors, to their constant hunger. Many Labs inhale dinner in seconds, and a slow feeder turns mealtime into a more measured, satisfying ritual. Every diner can be paired with one:

• Extra Bowl Set with 1 Slow Feed Pad (Most Popular): A removable silicone pad turns a standard bowl into a slow feeder. It comes in 304 and 201 sets.
• The "Not-So-Fast" Bowl: A 3-quart, 201 stainless slow feeder made for large dogs. Get it in a one-click large dog slow feeder set or as an add-on.

Quick Facts: Elevated Dog Bowls for Labrador Retrievers

• How tall should a Labrador's dog bowl be? Most adult Labs fit a 12" stand, especially taller American and field-bred Labs. Stockier English Labs and smaller females often fit 10" – 11". The top of the stand should sit at your dog's chest midpoint or lower.
• Are raised dog bowls good for Labs? Many owners and vets like them because a Lab can eat without stooping at the neck and front legs. That's especially helpful for senior Labs and dogs with hip or elbow stiffness, both common in the breed.
• Do elevated dog bowls cause bloat in Labs? Labs are a large breed, so bloat (GDV) is worth knowing about. A widely cited 2000 Purdue study found an association between raised feeders and bloat in large and giant breeds, but no direct cause has been confirmed and the research is mixed. Talk with your vet about the right feeding height for your dog. Since many Labs gulp their food, a slow feed bowl is a smart addition.
• What are the best elevated dog bowls for Labrador Retrievers? A heavy, stable stand at your Lab's measured height, usually 12", with removable stainless bowls. Popular picks include Slate (304 stainless), Baron in mocha or black (wrought iron), Pyramid and Moretti (modern iron and steel), and Woodsman and Noor (hardwood).
• What size bowl does a Labrador need? Dogs drink roughly 1 ounce of water per pound each day, which is about 7 – 10 cups for a 55 – 80 lb Lab. Active Labs drink more, so bowls of 2 – 3 quarts and a spare set make life easier.
• 201 vs. 304 stainless steel dog bowls? Both are food-safe, durable stainless steel. 201 is the most common grade in quality pet bowls and comes standard with NMN Designs diners, with a rubber rim to prevent sliding. 304 (human food-grade) is the premium upgrade, standard on Slate, with higher nickel content for extra corrosion resistance.
