Important Question: A bowl is just a bowl, right? Unfortunately, it is not the case. Most pet bowls are made of stainless steel, plastic, and ceramic. Plastic is the worst choice, it contains chemicals that can disrupt the animal’s hormonal balance. On top of that, plastic can accumulate deep scratches, lead to unsanitary things, and is difficult to clean. Ceramic is heavier and less durable. Just one drop or impact can smash, break, or shatter your ceramic bowl, rendering it safely unusable. Rust-Proof and Rubberized Bottom: Made of real stainless steel. If properly cared for, your stainless steel bowl will last for years. Ordinary metal bowls try to pass themselves off as stainless steel, when in fact they are ordinary steel (carbon steel) and rust in no time. The non-slip rubber rim added on the bottom prevents the bowl from slipping and reduces noise when your dog eats.
