Highlighted Reviews
"I like the silicone edging on the rim bc you can easily remove it and get the whole bowl clean. There’s enough weight to the bowl with food in it that my big guy can’t tip it"
"Something about the shallow design of these means that the lapping action of my dog drinking from it splashes so much water on the floor next to the bowl, I end up with a puddle of water to clean up anyway - only it’s every time the bowl is used. I’ll take my chances with the old flippable bowl ..."
