BOWL TYPES:
When it comes to dinner time, there are many types of dishes available
– but choosing the right ones does make a difference.
First of all you need to consider what type of material they are made from,
then secondly you can pick out the ones that serve your dog’s needs
best. Be wary of cheap plastic or ceramic bowls. Plastic can release fumes or
chemicals, especially when heated, and you don’t want them leaching
into your baby’s food. Try and buy thick plastic, also, to keep them
chew-resistant. Opt for high-quality porcelain that is lead and cadmium free.
Both types should be microwave and dishwasher safe. Stainless steel varieties
are always a good bet, but make sure they have no-skid bases.
While bug-proof bowls have been around for a long time, new high-tech designs
are coming out all the time for other issues. Gulpers can face many health
issues, but you can now get dishes that help prevent them from eating so
quickly by portioning off the food or putting an obstacle in the middle so they have to eat around it. For pooches with long ears or lots of hair on
their snouts, floating islands in the middle of the dish, or access to the water
through just a small hole in the top, are very efficient. It’s
wonderful how manufacturers are tuning into our pet’s needs, but it
does mean we have to do a little bit of homework first before we buy what
could be the single most-used item in any dog’s supply list.
