Abstract: A container for holding edible material is bowl-shaped and capable of maintaining the edible material held therein while an animal is consuming such edible material. Simply stated, in the preferred embodiment, the bowl resembles a cereal bowl bottom with an inverted cereal bowl top; with the top having a central opening. The container includes an inward and upwardly extending, smooth walled circular access aperture which assists an animal in consuming edible material by directing such edible material into a mouth and onto the tongue of the animal while preventing ears of the animal from coming into contact with the food in the container and ensuring food does not accidentally escape the bowl while the animal is licking the inside of the cavity. The container also includes a base that maintains the container in a stable and stationary position.
