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!

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.

You can feed her smaller amounts more frequently or consider using a slow feed bowl. AN example is shown at the link below. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/harmony-navy-plastic-slow-feeder-dog-bowl

Hello, It is not uncommon for dogs to be very excited about food and therefore eat it up very quickly. But it is better for digestion if we can get them to eat slower, just like it is for us. They actually make special bowls designed to slow dogs down when eating. You should be able to find one at any pet retailer or search online stores for "slow feeder dog bowls". Best of luck!

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.
