| Top Paw Food dishes Hey everyone, I am needing some advice regarding some food dishes that I purchased for Maggie. I will be getting Maggie in 13 days. I have the Top Paw ceramic food dishes. I have read in books (after I purchased them) to be careful with ceramic dishes that are not made in the U.S because they could contain lead.Have you had these dishes before or do you have any further information to share about them? Thanks in advance.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I've not read about these specific dishes but what you posted is true. The ceramic dishes that we get to buy so cheaply now here in the US, are produced mostly in China. And, the Chinese mfgr's are notorious for using lead based paints in many items, especially ceramics. It is almost impossible to find ceramic dog dishes not produced in another country. Unfortunately those countries just don't have the same standards, laws, and consumer safety agencies , as the US does.
