Unique skateboard deck doggie feeders
Your lil' sk8ter boi is in for a real treat. Mealtime just got amped up a few notches with these riotous, elevated skateboard deck pet feeders. Conceived by North Carolina artist, Meg Grogan, Skate Dog Studios feeders come in 15 rad colors and patterns. Each feeder is made from an 8” wide x 31” long solid maple skateboard deck and houses two side-by-side stainless steel 24 oz. bowls that lift out for easy cleaning.

Modernist pet feeders
If you're a fanatic over hip design mavens like Alessi, Starck and Graves, then chances are you're going to drool over this modernist twist on pet feeders. The Yoga Bowl by Italian designer, Emanuele Bianchi, looks more like a sci-fi alien than a doggie bowl...in a good way. We're all a-buzz over its against-the-grain, contemporary design--who knew a dog bowl could be a conversation piece? Made of tough molded polypropylene, it boasts a raised ergonomic design, non-skid rubber feet, 6 groovy colors and 3 sizes. You can also purchase the optional ceramic Tulip bowl if you prefer dishwasher clean-up. Your pup's mealtime just turned into cooltime.

Luxury natural stone feeders
When you think of pet feeders, museum-quality art doesn't usually come to mind, until now. Kevy K. Designs' natural stone feeders could sit next to Michelangelo's "David" statue and not be out of place.

We love how each stone feeder is like a custom work of art with its own unique characteristics--no two are alike--so your pup-royale gets to dine haute couture style. They're available in four sizes and heights touted to provide better digestion for small to large-breed dogs, and come with a removable, satin-finished stainless bowl that's dishwasher safe and easy to clean. And each feeder is sealed with a USDA food-safe sealer. Your dogs will be dining and sipping in the lap of luxury (possibly with their pinkies pointing out!).

Also, they're bite-size makes them just perfect for smaller dogs who can sometimes have some troubles wrangling a bigger-sized treat. We love that these treats come in pretty gift boxes of nine treats all wrapped up in a bow, making them not only a tasty treat but also a charming gift.
