Need suggestions for dog bowls

[Little Monster]

I have been looking and looking and can't find what I need and I need some help! I am looking for a food bowl for my Cane Corso that will make eating easier. I am cooking for him now and his food gets stuck in the 'corners' or 'lip' of his bowl and with his wide nose, he has a hard time getting it out. He just slides the bowl all over the kitchen and snorts and snuffs trying to finish things up. I really like this one http://www.wetnoz.net/store/products.php?pid=8&detail=true but look at the price!! $126??????? I looked on Amazon and searched a couple other websites and the cheapest I could find was $107, that's ridiculous!! I really like it though. It is rounded and smooth, no 'lip' or 'corner' for mashed potatoes or ground beef to get stuck in. This same company makes a cheaper bowl, but it's plastic and I really don't want plastic; stainless steel or ceramic only. Anyone have any suggestions other than taking out a lean on my house for dog bowls? The only other one I have found is this set made by Loving Pets and I tried their bowls and the SUCK! I had to keep returning them because they got rusty! Then, when the company finally fixed the rust issue, the metal split and his bowl had a sharp edge that ran down the middle! It was awful! I threw the food bowls away and keep the water bowl to hold dog poop bags.

We just used a raised hollow feeder from PetSmart. It came with steel bowls and a removable top that gave access to the hollow inside ... where we kept the food. I've also heard people will fill those feeder with cat litter or sand for added weight. The dishes were wide and shallow so our BM didn't have trouble getting bits that might otherwise be stuck at the bottom. The base and top are both plastic, but pretty heavy duty stuff and easy to clean. Between the raised dishes and the heavy base, she never pushed it around the floor or knocked it over. Pretty sturdy little thing, really.

Search places like Ikea.com or CrateandBarrel.com and see if you can come up with a bowl similar to that one. $126 is absolutely ridiculous unless it's platinum plated

A shallow serving tray like a waitress uses at a restaurant.

I have considered the serving tray, I can just picture him flicking food all over the floor while he eats!! If only he were as neat as my Pitty!

I bought a table that the bowls sit in and are flush with the tabletop. It's easy to clean and heavy so wouldn't be easy for them to move. I paid over a 100 but it's worth it to not have the food all over the floor. We also have the stand from petsmart. It doesn't compare to the table for keeping food contained, cleaning and can also be moved easily.

Have a link? I know petsmart has a raised bowl stand with legs so not sure how yours is different. Even a picture would be helpful.

I did find it online but don't remember from where. Here are the 2 different ones when they were new. The black table still looks great when cleaned. It's made with heavy wood. You could even make one yourself. My hubby made our dogs first one. He made it to hold the big bowls versus the medium sized. Our older dog uses the black table and he can be a messy eater and this table has been great. He likes to move the bowls while he eats and makes alot of noise and they've never came out of the table.
