Abstract
A bowl assembly 2 includes a bowl 4 which is suitable for holding various types of produce but which is intended for receiving food for a pet. The bowl assembly 2 is supported upon a tray 6. Four legs 8 are disposed to support the tray and are of sufficient length to elevate the tray a distance above the reach of ants 11. An insect deterrent 12 is located on the underside of the tray around the juncture of each leg 8 with the tray 6 to prevent insects proceeding along the legs to the tray. The legs 8 depend downwards and respectively terminate in bayonet heads 16 (best seen in Figure2) that are receiving into complementary sockets 14 formed in the topside of base plate 10.
