How to Choose the Right Bowl for Your Dog? (Complete Guide)
Choosing the right dog bowl may seem trivial, but it is actually essential for your dog's comfort, health and peace of mind every day .
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 clean, enjoyable mealtimes!
🥣 1. What size bowl for your dog?
The first thing to check is the size of the bowl:
- Small dog / Puppy : choose a small, shallow bowl for easy access.
- Medium dog : choose a classic medium bowl, adapted to his daily appetite.
- Large dog : choose a wide, deep bowl to prevent it from spilling while eating.
Noble Truffe advice : 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 bowl while eating. It stays firmly in place thanks to a rubber base.
- Spill-proof bowl : Perfect for preventing puddles around the bowl after drinking. A flow control system limits splashes and wet lips.
🦴 3. Do you need a raised bowl?
Yes, in some cases!
Raised bowls are particularly suitable for:
- Large dogs
- Senior dogs suffering from osteoarthritis or neck pain
- Short-snouted breeds (e.g., bulldogs) breathe better when eating at head height
Benefits :
- Improves digestion
- Reduces tension in the neck and joints
🚗 4. Which bowls for traveling?
For walks, vacations or car journeys, consider a:
- Foldable silicone bowl : ultra-light and easy to store in a bag
- Water bottle with integrated bowl : practical for giving clean water on the go
These models are essential for keeping your dog hydrated everywhere , without clutter.
🧽 5. Ease of cleaning: a key criterion
Choose bowls:
-
Stainless steel : durable, hygienic and dishwasher safe
-
Made of food-grade plastic (BPA-free): lightweight and colorful
-
Ceramic : stable and aesthetic, but more fragile
Caution : Clean the bowl every day to prevent bacteria buildup!
