ABSTRACT:
The invention is a covered pet bowl for use by an animal with a nose having a bowl with a perimeter, a lid with a lip attached and a hinge attached to the bowl and the lid so that the animal may, with the animal's nose against the lip, releasably lift the lid. The hinge can hold the bowl lid open at a plurality of selected heights above the perimeter so that the lid is not in contact with the bowl perimeter. The hinge allows the lid to be opened further by pressure under the lid from one of the plurality of selected heights to a larger opening. Upon the animal releasing the lip, the lid returns to one of the plurality of selected heights. The hinge includes an opening regulation means for maintaining the arc from the bowl to the lid lip to less than 60 degrees to allow gravity to re-close the lid to the at least one user selected opening after the lid is released from the larger opening.
