A feeding apparatus for allowing an animal to eat and/or drink from a position at which the animal's spine and/or esophagus is aligned includes a first section that provides a feeding surface from which an animal may eat and/or drink, the feeding surface being oriented at an angle relative to the surface on which the feeding apparatus is placed to prevent the animal from looking down and/or to cause the animal to tilt its head back when eating and/or drinking from feeding apparatus. The feeding apparatus further includes a second section that provides a paw surface oriented generally parallel to the surface on which the feeding apparatus is placed and located below the feeding surface. The paw surface provides a surface on which an animal may place its front feet when eating and/or drinking from the feeding surface. The first section and the second section are formed from the same piece of material.
