ABSTRACT:
A self attaching, rugged animal feeding bowl for use in cages, kennels, compounds, and/or animal transportation containers. The bowl is constructed of a rigid hard surfaced polymer. The material used is molded with a heavy wall thickness which greatly reduces the possibility that an animal will be able to penetrate the surface with teeth, claws, bills or beaks thus reducing the risk of destruction of the bowl and harm to the animal. The bowl has an attachment apparatus either integrally molded with or secured to the bowl sidewall. The attachment apparatus includes one or more slots for receiving wires of an animal enclosure. The attachment member includes a male/female coupling which sandwiches the wires of the enclosure between the male/female members when the coupling is engaged. Ribs including a center rib support and reinforce the attachment apparatus as it is secured to the bowl.
