Abstract:

A pet feeding device for holding a commercially available disposable paper plate, comprising a tray base with four molded integral hooks. The paper plate is slid in place under three of the four hooks and snapped in place under the fourth hook to secure it in place. The hooks keep the paper plate from being moved or turned over while the pet is feeding. The tray base prevents food displaced from the plate by the feeding animal from falling on the floor. After the pet has finished eating, the paper plate is easily snapped out the device and disposed of. The device eliminates the need for washing pet food dishes and provides a sanitary method of pet feeding. The tray base with its integrated, molded hooks is made of a plastic or similar material that is easily washable by hand or in a dishwasher.
