If you thought that every pet bowl is just the same, think again! With so many different bowls to choose from, it can be daunting trying to pick the right one. Here are a few tips that you can use to help guide you to your pawfect pet bowl!
A pet bowl for every taste and budget
You basically have to decide between 6 options when setting out to purchase a bow for fido, which includes plastic, stainless steel and elevated models. Here’s a rundown of what each is good for and which pet it’ll suit best.
The plastic pet bowl
Plastic bowls are cheap and generally quite rugged. But by rugged, we only mean that they won’t easily break if they’re dropped. If you have a dog that loves chewing and scratching, however, this might not be the ideal option.
Stainless steel bowls
When it comes to hygiene and durability, stainless steel dog bowls almost always take the crown. As long as you invest in a bowl that comes with a silicone “skid-free” base, your dog also shouldn’t be able to paw the bowl around too much. The stainless steel pet bowl is more expensive than the plastic option, but it definitely provides great value for money.
Elevated bowls
Elevated dog bowls stand raised off the floor and might be handy for pets that have digestive issues since it allows them to eat slower and swallow their food more easily. These bowls are also great for large breeds since it provides them with a more comfortable dining option, but of course, this isn’t the cheapest dog bowl out there.
Slow feeding dog bowls
Slow feeders are great for greedy pets since it allows them to slow down their munching madness. Dogs that eat too fast are prone to digestive problems and bloating, and if you’ve got a greedy little pup, this might be the ideal pet bowl to invest in.
The interactive pet bowl
Who knew that pet bowls could actually provide your furry friend with some entertainment? The Rogz Tumbler, for example, is a great way to stimulate your dog’s intellect while filling his tummy at the same time. The Rogz Tumbler comes with 3 different release setting for different levels of feeding and learning and acts as a slow feeder to prevent your dog from eating too fast.
Anti-bug bowls
If you’re tired of seeing your dog’s bowl filled with creepy crawlies and ants, it might be wise to invest in an anti-bug pet bowl with an anti-bu moat. The moat around the bowl is filled with water to effectively keep the bugs at bay and prevent the idea of your pet sharing his or her food with household pests.
