Highlighted Reviews

β€” Gail

"I’ve purchased several of these in the past. I needed different sized bowls so went back to what I’ve had; Bella. Stainless steel is recommended. The only thing I don’t like is the rubber on the bottom comes off in time."

β€” Maria

"A manufacturer placed a sticker in the middle of the bowl. After removing it, I could see smudging. Even after hand-scrubbing the bowl, the water is β€œheld” in the smudges. Any one know how to remove the smudges? Our new puppy arrives in three days"

Bottom Line

If you can overlook potential issues with stickers and durability, these bowls are a great option for their cute design, but those who need sturdiness and longevity will be disappointed.
