Some types of plastic can break down over time and leach chemicals into the body. BPA is one of the chemicals that is linked with some adverse health effects.
I personally stick with stainless steel water bowls and porcelain food bowls for my dogs and parrot. I store their kibble and treats in glass jars (made in USA glass) but I do use plastic tupperware when we travel. I tried glass tupperware but after dropping one and having to clean up the mess, I use plastic.
