The HugX 401 series? is a total re-think on dog dining. The bowl, which has no corners (no food traps), is angled at 32.5° from the horizontal allowing food to always fall into the center of the bowl while improving digestive issues. Each bowl has specific grips characterized subtly as ears and a tongue to prevent the user from touching food. Held in an aluminum holder which resembles the character of a dog’s body, its narrow waist creates an easy grip or handle for the user, keeping their hands away from the contents of the bowl. The high grip rubber feet and a wide foot print of the holder, prevent toppling or movement around the floor. As the dog feeds at the bespoke angle and food gravitates to the center of the bowl, a greater amount of downward pressure is exerted than side wards - the bowl, within the holder, sits firmly on the ground.

HugX 401系列是重点考虑狗的饮食为出发点设计的。这个碗，里面没有角（食物陷不进去），与水平方向成32.5°的倾斜，目的是让食物一直能掉入碗的中心，同时这也能促进消化。每个碗都有具休不同的握把，就像一对敏锐的耳朵和外加上一只舌头一样，能防止用户碰到里内的食物。放碗的这个铝制支架底座，有点类似狗的身体，它细细的腰身形成了方便实用的握把或是手柄，能让用户的手不碰到碗内的食物。支架装有橡胶支脚,防止碗向前翻或是在地板上自由移动。碗的这种特制角度，不仅让食物不断地能向靠中心靠拢外，而且与平放着的普通碗相比较，这里有很大一部分的向下压力被运用了,也正因此,支架上的碗，能在地上放得十分的平稳。
