Discover the Dog Bowl That Will Make Your Furry Friend Wag Its Tail

Every bite counts – especially when it comes to your beloved pet. Since they need to quench not only their hunger but also their thirst, you’ll need at least two dog bowls for food and water. These should be non-slip and easy to clean to prevent the formation of germs or algae. Since spills often happen when they drink, we also recommend using placemats or a dog bar. You may want to place several water bowls throughout your house, apartment, or garden, or need extra bowls for your car or trips. Choose a model that perfectly meets your dog's needs and suits your design preferences.

To ensure a relaxed eating experience without gulping or choking, place the food bowls in a spot in your home where your dog is undisturbed. Also, a water bowl should always be filled generously and readily available.

Choosing the Right Dog Bowl

It's essential that the bowl is not only functional but also fits your household. The following characteristics should be considered when selecting a dog bowl:

• Type/Purpose and Shape
• Material
• Size

We distinguish between bowls, dog bars, anti-gulping bowls, and travel bowls.

Elevated or height-adjustable dog bowls, also known as dog bars, feeding stations, or bowl stands, offer a more comfortable feeding and drinking solution for your dog. They provide a more natural feeding position and reduce strain on your dog’s neck and back, especially for puppies, seniors, large breeds, or those with joint issues. From the classic Cashmere Grey dog bar to the elegant Walnut finish, our dog bars are not only comfortable, sturdy, and non-slip but also a real eye-catcher. Additionally, they come equipped with rubber feet to prevent slipping – because we know things can get wild during feeding time.

Anti-Gulping Bowls

For the gulpers among our furry friends, there are anti-gulping bowls. With their special design, your dog can’t help but eat their meal slowly. Make sure your anti-gulping bowl is dishwasher-safe. Gulping is problematic because it can lead to choking and a delayed feeling of fullness. These bowls are also ideal for pets that need to follow a diet. Special variations include lick mats made of silicone and feeding stations that not only encourage slow eating but also make mealtime fun. Lick mats are perfect for wet food and dog ice cream. With food puzzles, your dog must first solve a task and is then gradually rewarded with food.

Travel Bowls

Whatever your plan – whether it's a short trip or a long hike – a travel bowl will ensure your furry friend is well-fed. Since it is collapsible, it can be stored compactly in a backpack or luggage. Special dog water bottles provide a quick and practical way to supply your pet with water. If you're traveling by car, you might want to invest in a special bowl designed to prevent water from spilling.

Choose the Right Material for Your Dog Bowl

You can choose between materials like stainless steel, porcelain, or plastic. In your home, you might prefer a different material or design than for travel. Stainless steel is especially durable and easy to clean. From our experience, some dogs dislike reflective surfaces in their bowls. In that case, opt for other materials. Porcelain is sturdy, easy to clean due to its smooth surface, and stays in place due to its weight. Plastic is lightweight, easy to clean, and popular for travel bowls.

Whether you prefer a hygienic stainless steel bowl or an elegant porcelain bowl, we offer high-quality feeding bowls for your four-legged friend. Not only does our dog bowl impress with its massive laminated wood body and high-quality surfaces made of high-pressure laminate or real wood veneer, but it is also available in different sizes, perfectly suited to your dog’s shoulder height. Each dog bowl is a masterpiece, made in Germany, ready to bring instant joy to your furry friend.

Choosing the Right Size and Height for Comfortable Feeding

The proper height for an elevated dog bowl depends on your dog’s shoulder height. A good rule of thumb is to raise the bowl to about chest height when standing. This allows for a comfortable feeding position without putting strain on the neck or back. The product description will always include the recommended shoulder height.

Tip: For dogs with long ears, choose particularly narrow bowls to keep their ears clean and dry.

The size of the bowl should depend on how much food it needs to hold. The larger the dog, the more they eat, so you should opt for a bowl with greater capacity. Depending on the muzzle, your dog may need more or less space in the feeding bowl: a long muzzle like a Dachshund or German Shepherd requires a deeper shape, a short one like a Bulldog or Pug needs a flatter shape, and a broad muzzle like a Saint Bernard needs a wider bowl. Make sure that the food and water bowls are equally sized.
