The dish is supported up off the floor by a plurality of pillars having a down sloping hemispherical shaped collar at their top enough distance to make it impossible for ants to crawl up into dish.Also a potted plant stand having a round flat top with downward sloping peripheral edge will be supported up off the floor by these same type pillars as described for the pet food dish.
