The bowl is confusing at first. The bowl is cumbersome to get on and off until you get used to the clips. When you get used to the placement of the clips, it is really easy to do with one hand. I had to use one hand to keep my puppy in the crate while removing the bowl. It is a perfect size and it holds onto the crate like The HULK. My puppy was up on her rear legs and fell backwards onto the bowl. The Bowl stayed put !! Recommended !
