How to choose a bowl for my dog?

A dog bowl, just like the leash, collar or even your companion's basket, is an essential accessory that the owner must obtain as soon as the dog arrives home. To be purchased in duplicate (one for food, the other for water), the dog bowl should be chosen according to the animal's breed, size and needs.


A heavy, non-slip dog bowl

Plastic, stainless steel or even ceramic, you really have the choice when it comes to dog bowls.

However, you will need to choose one with a rubber base that makes it non-slip and heavy enough not to be knocked over at the first kick.

A dog bowl adapted to the size of your companion

For a very large dog, you will buy two bowls: one medium-sized for the puppy, another maxi-sized for the adult he is about to become.
If your dog is medium-sized, opt right away for a bowl adapted to its adult size so as not to be caught off guard. You will see that your puppy will grow quickly! The most important thing is to choose a dog bowl that is raised if possible. Indeed, this will prevent the dog from eating in an uncomfortable position and will facilitate its digestion. Better still, a dog bowl fixed on a tripod will allow you to adjust its height (up to 43 cm) according to the growth of your animal.

A bowl for a gluttonous dog

Many brands have designed dog bowls designed to calm the ardor of obese or voracious dogs. In the bowl, an island forces the dog to eat in small bites and therefore more slowly.

A bowl for a short-nosed dog

French bulldogs or other short-nosed breeds will eat their kibble more readily if it is presented in a curved, ridged dog bowl.

The shape of this dog bowl makes it easier for dogs with short noses to swallow food.

A bowl for traveling dogs

In the car, on the train or while hiking, your dog needs to stay hydrated. That's why it's essential to buy a travel bowl.

Foldable and lightweight, travel bowls are very practical to install and store. They slip easily into a pocket or handbag.

If you happen to be away, note that there are dog bowls that are electronic and distribute a specific portion of food to your dog at a time you decide.
