BOWLS

Which food and water bowl should I get for my dog?

Different dogs do best with different types of bowls. Toy breeds feel less comfortable sticking their heads in deep bowls, so they do best with small, shallow models. Larger breeds prefer wider, deeper bowls. Dogs with long, floppy ears should have narrow bowls that will keep their ears out of their food. Food and water should be given in two separate bowls. Having one bowl with two compartments can result in the food becoming wet. Minimum bowl size should be one quart for water and two cups for food.
