What kind of food bowl would you reccomend? Since I will be getting a puppy soon, I read that glass or stainless steel is better then plastic and food should always be a fixed amount, so if you were me, would you rather get this: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...amily&keepsr=1 or this http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...amily&keepsr=1 what are the pros and cons of each?:confused: |
my bad i posted the same link for both items. the 2nd was supposed to be this: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...amily&keepsr=1 |
I think they are both the same link. I don't like the big feeders like that. There is no way of regulating how much your puppy is eating and food can go stale. I use a stainless steel bowl for Lacy (just a regular bowl). I would just put the amount you want to feed in the bowl. One of those things would probably be okay for water, but I just use a normal stainless steel bowl for that too, and I put fresh water in it every day |
I always used stainless . |
That feeder is plastic also some dogs are allergic to the plastic. My BT kept having a reaction around his face and the first question the vet asked was what kind of bowl? I changed it and no more reaction. |
We use stainless steel and it's great! Love it!! We found a little stand with the stainless steel bowls on sale at Petsmart for like $9. If you look around, you can find some good deals. Make sure the bowls are removable though...much easier to wash and fill. :) |
We have two sets for our two girls. Both are stainless small bowls with a rubber ring around the bottom. We got them at Walmart for about $3 for each bowl. They are dishwasher safe, so they don't get a chance to get nasty before we run them through the dishwasher. I can't stand a nasty food dish. YUCK! |
I use to use plastic, but changed to stainless, because they were always chewing on the plastic. I'm very happy with the stainless bowls. |

We use ceramic bowls |
I prefer ceramic. Plastic holds germs. IMO ceramic bowls also look better. |
I prefer stainless steel, and I wouldn't use an automatic feeder because it's important that you know your pup is eating enough. Stainless steel bowls are cleaner. |
We use ceramic bowls/dishes that are actually for people. I have a large one for their water, and then a small rice bowl for food for each, plus a small appetizer plate for wet/homemade food. They work well, and all are dishwasher safe. |
I guess I should have specified...I use stainless steel for water and for food, I feed them homecooked food at each meal in regular bowls. |
I use ceramic small bowls...one thing that we were told by our trainer is that we should use bowls so we can see how much water they are drinking to see when they might need to go out and go potty...so I like to be able to see how much he is drinking..so far he drinks about half of the bowl in a day...but I am sure the older he gets the more he will drink:) I would worry about him chewing on the plastic... |
i use a ceramic bowl for food and this for water http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2751260&cp=2767032.2767070&fbn =Taxonomy%7CBowls+%26+Feeders&fbc=1&clickid=topnav _dropdown0_link3&parentPage=family&keepsr=1 which is pretty neat because if filters the water and also cools it, which is nice on a hot day in FL! lol |
Stainless here with the rubber at the bottom - and we have two sets - while one set is in dishwasher we have a clean set. They also fit in this stand we have too. Always change the water at least 2x a day. Stainess keeps the water cold longer, too.;) |
The one with the flowing cool water is nice! I already filter my water and boil them so no filter is needed but without the filter the water still flows right? So dogs prefer cold water huh? Just like me :D I planned to get ceramic ones since they are more colourful...usually, stainless steel looks a bit too plain for me, not that it really matters. Oh and what size should the bowls be for a 8 week old yorkie? |

Hi congrats on your new baby:) cant wait for pics :) we use the ceramic here, i wash it out every day and with 4 babies I fill about 3x a day;) best to you:) |
Gizmo LOVES cold water. Sometimes he even whines to get me to put an ice cube in it. :) He's not spoiled is he?? LMAO |

I use ceramic , I bought the water bowl at the vet - hand painted with the head of a yorkie on the front - just HAD to buy it! also keeps the water cool here in sunny S.A. |
what kind of food bowl would you reccomend I think stainless steel with the rubber ring won. My frig has filtered water and ice, Tricksie loves crushed ice in her water, also, when I go to the frig to get ice for myself, she waits for some to hit the floor. |
I have cute ceramic doggie dishes, but they are just the right size for the stainless steel bowls to fit into. So that way the ceramic is heavy and holds them in place, but they are actually eating and drinking out of the stainless steel. |
I use the stainless ones with the rubber on the bottom too. The water stays cold for a long time in them. |
