Highlighted Reviews
"I like the silicone edging on the rim bc you can easily remove it and get the whole bowl clean. Thereβs enough weight to the bowl with food in it that my big guy canβt 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 itβs every time the bowl is used. Iβll take my chances with the old flippable bowl ..."
