No ! don't put them in the trash. You need to return them to petco for a refund/replacement. & I'm sure they need to be disposed of as hazardous waste rather then just putting them in the trash.

How awful! We use ceramic bowls.

sophias mommy · 08-12-2012, 05:35 PM

That's crazy!! I don't like the sound of stainless steel bowls, so we use ceramic. Now I'm really glad we do

BabyGirl Rosie · 08-12-2012, 05:37 PM

I have used stainless steel bowls. Now I am worried. I think I'll just get rid of them and use the ceramic ones I have. I didn't get from Petco but still! I'm going to see if it says on the bowl where they came from.

We used to use ceramic. Made in China. After awhile they got this horrible smell and wecould not get it out, even with bleach. I don't buy those anymore.

We mostly used Pyrex glass bowls and paper plates.

I don't understand why they are not coming out with the name of this foreign supplier. Of course most of what PetCo and Petsmart sell is made in China or some other third would nation. "One of our foreign suppliers" is not enough information for a pet owner to decide if the product they have in their home is part of this mess. I hope they have large notices about this in their stores but still many people will not be aware.

I have used paper plates for feeding Gracie for quite some time and we use glass water dishes. The only product I have ever purchased from PetCo is my RinseAce and that is available at other outlets as well. I think anyone who purchases pet products from any of these pet stores or discount department stores is taking a risk with what is being imported from China these days. Companies do not even tell the consumer when there are ingredients added that come from China.

We are seeing this more and more. I wasn't aware Petco was importing so much. I don't get a lot from there but I appreciate you letting us know. One more place to have to watch!

. Uuuuggggghhhh!

Wow! Thanks for posting this! I wonder if we should be concerned about stainless steel in general. I wonder how many products went unnoticed.

That's my thought too. If it was sent to Petco I am afraid other places received them too.

A pack of 1,000 6" plates is $25 at staples online. Perfect sized for the babies. No lead, no cobalt. I don't trust ceramic pet bowls - they had paint leaching years ago. I'm good with my glass water bowl.

Tibbe's had his stainless steel bowls for over 4 years and I bought them at Wallmart, I think. I hope they are safe! Thanks for the heads up on the bowls because I was thinking it might be time to get him new bowls as I don't know the life of stainless steel. Now have to do some research on what to buy where.

my guys are scared of stainless steel bowls...thank goodness!
