Somewhere while researching Liver Shunt, a few articles stated that chemicals can leach out of the plastic into the food and water, and while most dogs aren't bothered by it, if you have an LS dog it would be best to use SS or ceramic. I also bought Pyrex glass bowls to store leftover food in (only for the LS doggie).
Can also happen with water bottled for human consumption. The news stated a few months back about the dangers of reusing the plastic bottles, chemicals leaching into the water as the bottle ages.
Just thought of this... I know the plastic bowls are very pretty and/or cute... maybe use a SS bowl inside the plastic ones, that way they still look pretty? |
