Selection of dog food bowls

It is best for dogs to use stainless steel, aluminum or plastic utensils for eating and drinking. The bottom should be heavy and the edges should be thick to prevent them from overturning when eating. It is best not to use fragile ceramic products and glass products to prevent injuries to dogs. It is also not recommended to use iron products that are easy to rust.

Key points for selecting a dog food bowl

1. The size and shape of the dog food bowl should be determined according to the size of the dog's body and the size and shape of its mouth and nose. Those with long muzzles can use deeper instruments, and those with shorter muzzles can use shallower instruments. In addition, dog eating utensils should have smooth surfaces that are easy to clean and disinfect.
2. Some automatic feeding and watering bowls are very suitable for owners who have no time. The advantage of them is that the dog can eat at any time, so the owner does not have to worry about his pet not having food when he leaves home. But the disadvantage is that it is easy for dogs to eat large amounts without restraint. It will also make the dog think that the food is always there, resulting in irregular meals in the future.
3. Food bowls should be cleaned daily to avoid bacterial growth. It’s a good idea to have another set of food bowls ready for rotation when cleaning the food bowls. When the food bowl is scratched, it should be replaced in time to avoid bacterial growth.

Comparison of dog food bowls made of different materials

1. Stainless steel food bowls are sturdy, durable, clean and easy to clean. They are very suitable for dogs who like to bite the food bowls.
2. Ceramic basins are suitable for dogs who like to move their food bowls around. The texture of ceramic is relatively heavy, so it can prevent the food bowl from sliding around on the floor while the dog is eating. Ceramic pots are more durable, but because the surface is not very smooth, bacteria can easily breed in scratches, so they need to be cleaned every day to keep them clean.
3. Plastic pots come in many colors, are very light, unbreakable, and relatively cheap. But this kind of food bowl is not suitable for dogs who like to chew the food bowl, because they can easily bite off small plastic fragments and swallow them.
