Pet dish with moat

A pet dish including:

• a lower dish having a bottom surface;
• an upper dish having a bottom surface and side walls extending below said bottom surface to provide a lower skirt;
• and
• a pillar having first and second ends;
• said lower dish having a first engaging means attachable to said first end of said pillar, said first engaging means located interiorly and along said bottom surface of said lower dish;
• said upper dish having a second engaging means attachable to said second end of said pillar, said second engaging means being located interiorly of said upper dish and depending from said bottom surface of said upper dish, and being located entirely above a plane defined by the lower peripheral edge of said upper dish lower skirt;
• said pillar being of uniform, monolithic construction throughout, said first and second ends of said pillar being identically configured so as to be attachable to either of said lower dish first engaging means and said upper dish second engaging means;
• said pillar interconnecting said lower dish to said upper dish, thereby supporting said upper dish above said lower dish, whereby said lower dish facilitates the containment of water and said upper dish facilitates the containment of food, the food and water each being for consumption by a pet and the water further providing a barrier to prevent crawling insects from accessing said upper dish and the food contained therein, and when said upper dish is removed from pillar and is supported by a flat surface, said skirt enables said upper dish to remain in a stable disposition.
