Keep your beloved pet with you with this clever little design

“Excellent! It has enabled someone with movement difficulties to have a cat again!”

For anyone who shares the common love of pets the above quote will resonate.

A number of disabilities, or simply old age, can make it difficult to bend down to pick things up from the floor. This includes things like feeding dishes. The No Bend Pet Bowl is equipped with a long handle to enable a pet’s owner to pick up and put down their feeding dish whilst in a standing position without having to bend down.

Reviews found on the website www.simplelifemobility.co.uk are overwhelmingly positive with various reviewers describing how it has saved terrible pain to either themselves or a loved one who struggles with mobility and pain. In a few cases they even state that the adapted bowl enabled someone to keep a pet they would otherwise have been obliged to give up. When we consider that a number of elderly or disabled people struggle with loneliness, the broader impact of this idea is enormous. A beloved pet can make a huge difference to someone’s happiness and can also have a positive impact on mental and physical health.

According to the National Center for Health Research, “Companion animals may improve heart health by lowering blood pressure and regulating the heart rate during stressful situations”, and the Mental Health Foundation further states on their website that “A pet can be a great source of comfort, companionship and motivation for their owners. In many ways, pets can help us to live mentally healthier lives”.
