Highlighted Reviews
"Starting use this dog bowl when we had 3 dogs traveling, now only have 2 of our girls still with us, but we use one in the house, one in the UTV and one in the car. Just love these bowls, but they do have a strong rubber smell at first, but that goes away pretty quickly."
"There is no way these are pet safe, I can wipe the color off with a paper towel when they’re wet. When I fill them with water, they foam like soap. Photo is from wiping the inside dry after dumping the water out."

The Ruff Dawg bowl is recommended for its unique design and non-slip features, but pay attention to reviews specifically mentioning dye leaks and durability.
