]I use shallow 6" stainless steel pet bowls to feed the pets, but our dog Bowser is now a little old man and it's getting hard for him to bend over to the floor to eat his food, so I designed a little platform to lift the bowl up a bit to make it easier for him.
There are ton of these shallow 6" stainless steel bowls available out there, but the ones I am currently using are these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BRPMC667
There are two heights - one is about 50 mm tall (about 2") and the other is a little taller at 70 mm (2.75"). The shorter one could stand to have a slightly deeper pocket for the bowl, but it works.
I'm including the FreeCAD projects so you can modify them for different bowls and heights if you want.
