This elevated dog bowl set was specifically created to meet dogs halfway and ease strain during mealtime, making it an excellent solution for dogs with neck or joint problems such as arthritis.

Ceramic material is easy to keep clean, though if your dog is particularly aggressive it could crack under their weight. Also beware that older ceramic bowls could contain lead coating; ensure these are clearly marked.

Durability
Durability should always be top of mind when purchasing large dog bowls. Plastic tends to break easily while ceramic bowls may chip if your pet knocks them against something or attempts to chew on them. Stainless steel bowls usually make the best investment; however, they can be more costly.
A stainless steel food and water bowl with a raised base is an ideal choice for dogs that like to dig in their meals. The sleek modern design compliments most home decors while its raised base prevents slipperiness while simultaneously reducing noise and friction on the floor.
This set of travel bowls is an excellent option for trips and hikes with large breeds, holding enough food and water for them. Furthermore, its silicone construction makes cleaning simple while the carabiner makes hooking onto backpacks or leashes simple – this bowl boasts an ample 96-ounce capacity!
Size
There is a wide selection of food bowl sizes suitable for every breed of dog. Corgis, Dachshunds and Beagles should have bowls between two and six inches high; medium sized breeds such as Basset Hounds and Beagles need bowls that measure seven to ten inches high; while large dogs such as Boxers, Chow Chows, Dalmatians, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers or Vizsla’s should use those between 10-16 inches high.
Max & Neo offers this elevated dog bowl with a stand that keeps it off of the floor and at an appropriate height for your pup to eat comfortably. Crafted from heavy 204-grade stainless steel that’s been independently tested for lead and other heavy metals, and although more costly than some options available to buyers; verified buyers consistently rave about it! Plus for every bowl purchased they donate one to an animal shelter!
Design
Bowls come in various materials, from sleek stainless steel to elegant wrought iron and everything in between. Some bowls can even be portable and collapsible – perfect for use during trips with your pup!
There are also bowls designed with non-slip bases and rings to secure them during feeding time, making these an excellent option for dogs who tend to push their bowls around while eating. These may also come in handy if your pet likes pushing around their food bowls while eating.
Heavy stoneware bowls provide another option that won’t easily tip over or be carried off by your playful pet, and are dishwasher safe as well. Plus, this eco-friendly option made of recycled plastic from milk jugs and shampoo bottles provides budget-conscious pet parents with an eco-friendly option on a tight budget that’s also budget friendly – plus each purchase of this bowl donates one to an animal rescue shelter! Max & Neo donate one with every bowl sold; these sturdy travel bowls can be used both for food and water; plus they’re BPA, PVC, and phthalate free as well.
Cleanliness
Bowls that are left sitting without being cleaned regularly become breeding grounds for bacteria such as E coli and salmonella, which when transferred elsewhere in the home can make family members sick.
Researchers found that dirty pet bowls were among the top five germiest items in homes. Regular washing with pet-safe soap and hot water is recommended to protect yourself against harmful bacteria. To stay safe, scrub brushes may also help remove build-ups of dirt.
Stainless steel bowls are an ideal material for food and water bowls because they’re durable, easy to clean, and bacteria resistant – yet some stainless steel dishes feature rough surfaces that could potentially scratch a dog’s mouth, leading to bacteria buildup and potentially leading to digestive issues such as diarrhea. To avoid this risk altogether, heavy stoneware or ceramic bowls with stronger surfaces would make a better option as these will withstand more vigorous chewing by playful pups.
