Plastic
Plastic bowls for dogs can help alleviate digestive issues caused by eating too quickly, making their use dishwasher-safe, lightweight, and easy to maintain. Plus, these bowls won’t attract caked-on food or attract bacteria — simply running through the dishwasher or giving a thorough scrub should do the trick!
These bowls include a tray that collects any food that spills out, are BPA-free and dishwasher safe, are designed specifically for flat-nosed breeds and come in small, medium or large sizes for your convenience.
These bowls help slow down fast eaters by encouraging them to forage and dig through their food rather than simply swallow it quickly, which may reduce the risk of GDV (Gastric Dilatation Volvulus or “bloat”) among certain large and giant breed dogs that are susceptible to this fatal condition.
Ceramic
This slow feeder insert transforms any bowl into a maze-shaped puzzle to slow your dog’s eating rate. Crafted from flexible BPA, PVC, and phthalate-free silicone material that is safe to wash in the top rack of any dishwasher for easy care and optimal use; suitable for bowls holding four to 11 cups.
Designed with mental stimulation in mind, the ridges and maze design of this toy is mentally stimulating and helps alleviate stomach upset, gas, regurgitation and obesity by making fast eaters work for their food. It may even reduce risk of bloat in certain breeds. Made of ceramic material that resists odors and bacteria while remaining chew-proof. Heavy and non-skid materials prevent it being easily moved around by rowdy dogs while its microwave safety makes life easier for owners who heat their pup’s meals!
Glass
Many dog bowls made of glass are considered safe choices for dogs. Glass’ thick and sturdy construction withstands rough eating habits while remaining difficult to break; its non-heat retention properties also help keep water temperatures down for extended use.
However, if your pup is an aggressive eater, their bowl could easily be overturned and result in a sticky mess that is difficult to clean up afterwards.
Ideally, when purchasing a glass bowl from the United States with at least five year’s of warranty coverage. This way, if it cracks, chips or breaks you can easily replace it and stay worry-free about its condition. Consider investing in raised bowls too for added neck support and improved digestion; raised bowls also reduce neck strain while aiding digestion while helping prevent bloating, gas and other unpleasant symptoms caused by eating too quickly.

Stainless steel

This stainless steel slow feeder is constructed of BPA, PVC and phthalate free plastic that can easily be washed in the top rack of any dishwasher.
