Material

Plastic, steel and ceramic all have their worthwhile features. A plastic dog water bowl is affordable and difficult to break. It is important to observe how a pet reacts to substances that are made from plastic as some dogs may be allergic to them. Steel bowls are easy to clean, unbreakable and stable. Ceramic dog bowls are easy to clean and come in different colours but are vulnerable to breaking when knocked over or dropped.

Floor vs. Raised

Elevated dog bowls can help to reduce the risk of bloating and other digestive problems. On the other hand, a bowl on the floor can be useful for improving digestion by compelling the dog to consume food slowly. Raised dog feeders typically cost more but they offer the advantage of enabling pets to eat with ease in a comfortable position. A dog bowl stand prevents the bowl from being moved around while your pet eats.

Ongoing Feeding

For people who want their pets to be able to access food and water at any time, there are different options ranging from a dog food dispenser to programmed feeders. This can be convenient if you plan to be away from home for a long period of time or your pet needs constant access to flowing water and food.

Slow Feeder

A slow feeder dog bowl makes it necessary for dogs and cats to eat slower, which helps to address the risk of bloating the results from gulping down their food. These types of dog feeders prevent dogs from eating too fast by slowing down their mealtimes.
