Cant believe this recall!!! I received this email alert: **"You may have heard by now, but here's the news in case you haven't. Petco, along with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, is recalling pet food bowls.The stainless steel bowls are contaminated with low levels of a radioactive material.The bowls are 9.25 inches in diameter, 3.75 cup capacity, with the SKU number 1047493. Someone knowledgeable on the subject wrote that the steel contains, according to Petco, ”small quantities” of Cobalt 60, a potentially dangerous radioactive material which produces gamma ray radiation. Given the amount of time dogs spend at their food and water bowls, it's probably not immediately life threatening, but they should be returned. If you do return them, put them in the trunk or as far away from you as possible. Definitely keep them away from small children. Gamma radiation will penetrate most house walls, so there really is no safe place for them. Distance is the key, as the radiation falls off very quickly as the distance from them increases. The half-life of Cobalt 60 is about five years, so you really can't wait it out.**" |
Usa made bowls? I try to buy Usa thinking it's safer. So if they are It doesn't sit well with me. |
Foreign supplier. Seems they have more problems. I buy Usa or from any good country that doesn't use slave labor whenever I can Pet Supplies - Pet Products - Pet Food | Petco.com |
:eek: Nice. I stopped using dog food bowls. Just think they are mostly poor quality. |
OMG how scary for the furbabies and for pet owners too!!! I think I may use paper plates:eek: |

Yes very upsetting. I use paper plates (I know, it's kinda wasteful). Teddy is the only one with a bowl, and he needs to keep it because he gets his food stuck in his hair (I home cook). I use a glass water bowl made in USA |
Gosh makes me want to start using paper plates too! uggggh! |
Great idea on the glass water bowl too! |
I use ceramic bowls..hopefully thos are safe...geez what isn't being recalled? |
I have been using stainless steel bowls for years I think I got them at Petsmart. I wonder if these would be bad too. I think I will switch them out. I only use for water. I use paper plates for food. Thanks for the heads up. |

:( :( I have been using these bowls :mad:. In the trash they go and praying my baby\'s have no side affects from them :(. |
OMG! When is the US going to wake up! :mad: Mine eat of human dishes but who knows if they are safer or not! I do use dog bowls for water. Mine came from a local speciality dog store. Wonder if I should trash them? :confused: |
All my babies eat off Corelle. So do we! :D |
