Dog Bowls: Ceramic and Stainless Steel Food and Water Bowls

Dog bowls are a must-have item for pet parents. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate all types of dogs. Materials can vary as well, from durable stainless steel to decorative ceramic or plastic. At Petco, we provide plenty of options to shop for this essential accessory. Here are a few things to take into consideration when purchasing a dog bowl.

• A slip-resistant bottom can help keep the bowl in place while your pup eats or drinks.

• Although they can be slightly more expensive than their plastic counterparts, ceramic and stainless steel bowls can harbor less bacteria on their surfaces.

• Ceramic and stainless steel bowls are preferred for pet parents who heat their dog’s food, as they’re less likely to leach chemicals into food products. Keep in mind, stainless steel can not be put in the microwave.

No matter the bowl you select, we recommend cleaning your dog’s food and water bowls daily, as any accumulated bacteria may harm your pup. Most bowls are dishwasher safe for convenient daily cleaning. Hot water and soap is another quick alternative to cleaning your pet’s bowls.

In addition to ceramic, plastic, and stainless steel bowls, you can also find a variety of specialty food bowls at Petco. Programmable automatic dog feeders can be helpful for pet parents who want to ensure their pet is fed while they’re away. You can also find elevated dog bowls specially designed for large breeds and dogs with certain feeding requirements. And for pets and pet parents on the go, travel and collapsible dog bowls fold flat for easy storage. Shop Petco for all your dog feeding needs including food, placemats, scoops, and storage containers.
