Dog bowls

Size is one of the most important criteria responsible dog owners use to choose food bowls. The right size depends largely on the size of your dog and its eating habits. The size is determined by the bowl's volume:

  • 200 ml – for the smallest dog breeds up to 2.5 kg;
  • 450 ml – for small dogs weighing 3 to 5 kg;
  • 750 ml and 850 ml – for medium-sized dogs weighing 5 to 16 kg;
  • 1.8 liters – for large dogs from 16 kg;
  • 2.6 liters – for the largest specimens.

Questions and answers at a glance

Where should a dog bowl be placed?

The dog bowl can be placed anywhere that suits you and your pet best.

The only important thing is that there is enough space for the dog to eat comfortably, that the bowl is non-slip and that the paws don't get caught.

How often should dog bowls be cleaned?

Dog bowls should be cleaned after every meal: simply rinse with water and dry with a towel.

You can clean the water bowl twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, when you fill it with fresh water for your dog.

What material is best suited for dog bowls?

We recommend that you consider dog bowls made from two materials: stainless steel bowls on a stand and ceramic bowls.

Metal dog bowls are durable, easy to clean, shatterproof and stable thanks to the stand.

Ceramic dog bowls are easy to clean, are not damaged by water, and do not absorb odors. They are also heavy, so the dog cannot "carry" them across the floor and spill water and food.

How do you correctly calculate the volume and size of a dog bowl?

The size of the food bowl depends on the daily amount of food. A suitable dog bowl should hold the daily ration and be two-thirds full.

Make sure you choose the right diameter so that your dog's snout fits well inside and he can chew comfortably and open his mouth without any problems.
