Choosing the Right Dog Feeder or Bowl

Bowls are for serving food and water. Bowls should be large enough to accommodate the amount of food and water your dog will consume each day.

Deep, narrow dishes are designed so the ears of certain dogs will ride outside the bowl during eating. Shallow bowls are best for puppies, but they can use bowls that are large enough for adult dogs.

GregRobert carries several types of bowls for both food and water.

Raised Feeders

We also suggest a placemat, to catch food that may spill and keep the area around the bowl clean.
