The patent relates to pet food container holders. In one example the pet food container holder includes a sidewall that extends from a base to a top. The sidewall approximates a portion of a cone or a portion of a pyramid and defines a generally vertical passageway that extends from the base to the top. In this example the top includes a receiver that is configured to receive a single serving pet food container from a user. The receiver is further configured to retain the single serving pet food container. The top further includes a rim and an angled surface extending from the rim to the receiver. The angled surface is configured to direct pet food that is dropped by the pet back into the single serving pet food container.
