How do I stop my puppy from playing with his food and water bowls?

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! I would recommend using a dog food bowl stand, which you can find quite easily online. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

What's the best dog bowl material for health, safety, and cleanliness?

Hello, and thanks for your question on Boop by Petco. It's great that you're being conscientious about this! I recommend ceramic, glass, or stainless steel bowls. They tend to be cleaner, and are safe to throw in a dishwasher cycle now and then. I'd specifically avoid plastic. Hope that helps!

Are common household items like spoons safe for my dog to play with?

Thanks for visiting Boop by Petco! I wouldn't recommend allowing him to freely play with any items that are not considered safe dog toys, especially the spoon. You would be surprised what some dogs will swallow, creating not so fun foreign bodies that later need surgical removal. It's best to stick with his dog toys (Kongs, dog ropes, etc). Best wishes with your pet Casper.

Are raised dog food bowls good or bad for my large breed dog?

There are so many differing opinions on this topic. I feel like they don't help or hurt the average large breed dog. They may be needed in dogs that have megaesophagus or neck or back issues. Some large dogs will decide that laying next to the bowl is more comfortable. The only thing I would watch for is Thor eating too quickly. If he gulps his food, you may want to get a bowl with partitions to make him slow down a bit.

Dog scatters food from bowl when I leave. How do I stop this behavior?
