Choosing the right dog bowl may seem trivial, but it is actually essential for your dog's comfort, health and your peace of mind on a daily basis .
Depending on your pet's size, age, eating habits, and even health, some types of bowls are better suited than others . Here's how to make the right choice to ensure your dog enjoys pleasant and clean meals!
🥣 1. What size dog bowl?
The first thing to check is the size of the food bowl:
- Small dog / Puppy : opt for a small, shallow bowl to facilitate access.
- Medium dog : choose a classic medium bowl, suitable for its daily appetite.
- Large dog : choose a wide and deep bowl to prevent it from knocking over while eating.
Noble Truffle Tip : always choose a slightly larger bowl to leave room for water or kibble.
🛡️ 2. Non-slip or splash-proof: which to choose?
If your dog tends to be greedy or clumsy , certain models are particularly recommended:
- Non-slip bowl : ideal for dogs who push their bowls while eating. It stays firmly in place thanks to its rubber base.
- Splash-proof bowl : perfect for avoiding puddles around the bowl after drinking. A flow control system limits splashes and wet lips.
🦴 3. Do we need a raised food bowl?
Yes, in some cases!
Elevated pet bowls are particularly suitable for:
- Large dogs
- Senior dogs suffering from arthritis or neck pain
- Short-muzzled breeds (e.g., bulldogs) breathe better when eating at head height
Benefits :
- Improves digestion
- Reduces tension in the neck and joints
🚗 4. What kind of food bowls are best for traveling?
For walks, holidays or car journeys, consider a:
- Collapsible silicone bowl : ultra-lightweight and easy to store in a bag
- Water bottle with integrated bowl : convenient for providing clean water on the go
These models are essential for keeping your dog hydrated everywhere , without bulk.
🧽 5. Ease of cleaning: a key criterion
Opt for bowls:
-
Made of stainless steel : durable, hygienic and dishwasher safe
-
Made of food-grade plastic (BPA-free): lightweight and colorful
-
Made of ceramic : stable and attractive, but more fragile
Warning : Clean the bowl every day to prevent the accumulation of bacteria!
