My English Bulldog has always distributed throughout the food. For anatomical reasons, it is in this breed just that to eat from the bowl is clean impossible. As long as Emma got dry food, I could live with the fact that the greater part has landed only on the ground and was then eaten from there. However, due to an allergy she gets some time self-Boiled: meat, potatoes, carrots. So also landed on the floor. Less beautiful. Leftovers from seizing landed on the wallpaper, glued to the carpet fringe ... Remedy created until this ingenious feeding place. What falls from the bowl, ends up in the plastic tray and then licked it. Likewise when drinking, no vollgesabberter ground more around the bowl. Bib, flows into the lower tray and can be easily wiped off from there. Since the shipment as indicated in the UK but was carried from the USA, the total price came to payment of customs duties to 80 euros. Nevertheless, I would buy again. However, size L is actually too big for my dog. It's just not so, in itself is this size but rather for boxers to recommend Dalmatian etc.
