    Tip: Soak the inside label in water and then pried it up with a long-nosed pliers. Then I put some vegetable oil on the glue. Scrubbed the glue off and had a new pan for kitties. Intrigued by how kids used to get bubble gum out of their hair.

Highlighted Reviews

β€” sherril

"I put dry kibble or canned food in the bowl for the kitties. It is big enough for them not to get whisker fatigue. That would be tiring for anyone."

β€” JenD1

"The sticker leaves residue on the bowl, it’s so hard to get it off. Tried using rubbing alcohol and still couldn’t get it off."

Bottom Line

Recommended for its durability and design, but buyers should be prepared for the glue residue issue. Look out for an alternative that does not sacrifice user experience for aesthetics.
