Classic, Timeless Dog Bowls that are Safe and Functional
Finding a good dog bowl can be hard. Since dog bowls are not used by humans, they do not undergo the same rigorous quality inspections. Many bowls can contain harmful toxins such as Lead and Mercury or are simply poorly made. Your dog uses their bowls every single day, it is worth making a small investment in a quality product that will not only be safe but stand up for years to come.
What we look at when reviewing dog bowls:
Does it do the job it’s intended to do? At its core, a dog bowl needs to provide a safe and easy way for your dog to get their food.
Is it easy to clean? Since it’s something that is used daily, your dog bowl needs to be easy to clean.
Is it safe? Is it tested for harmful toxins such as Lead and Mercury. We stay away from all plastic dog bowls as they tend to leach dangerous chemicals into your dog’s food and water.
Where is it made? We always try to buy from the USA to support local economies and knowing that manufacturing standards are stricter here than in many other countries.
Will it blend well with existing décor? Lastly, since it’s something we see every day; we ask ourselves if it’s an aesthetically pleasing design and if the dog bowl will blend well with existing designs and décor.

Prettiest Dog Bowl
One of the prettiest dog bowls we’ve ever seen! This ceramic Chinoiserie dog bowl is hand made in the USA. It’s dishwasher safe and comes in three sizes depending on your pet’s needs. The bowl can be personalized with your dog's name as well! We love the charming blue and white dog bowl, but the bowls come in a variety of colors to suit your own individual style and décor. We’d love a set of our own dinner dishes to match this beautiful dog bowl!
Lovely Lucite Dog Bowls
This chic Lucite feeder with clear glass bowls that can be easily popped into the dishwasher for easy cleaning. They are great for a modern kitchen or for someone with a smaller space (Lucite allows spaces to appear larger and less cluttered).
The elevated stand provides for a better ergonomic eating position leading to better digestion and less neck strain for your dog.
Lucite is easy to clean and will blend well in the classiest of kitchens.
Rattan Dog Bowl
For those looking for a coastal or beach inspired dog bowl, look no further than Grace Hill’s Rattan Dog Bowl. A super simple design that would blend flawlessly in most homes and provide the kitchen with a warm classic touch. We’d swap out the bowl provided for a higher quality one (such as a Basis pet bowl) just to ensure the actual bowl is safe from toxins. The classic woven rattan is highly sophisticated and guaranteed to look on-trend for years to come.
Elevated Pet Feeders
If you have a larger dog, you may need to elevate their food bowl in order to improve digestion and lessen strain on their neck. This elegant dog feeder is made by a small business in the USA. It also comes with a set of stainless-steel human grade bowls.
If you want to choose your own style of bow but still need an elevated feeder, Larry and Louise Lumber make great elevated pet feeding stations where you can simply place your own stylish bowl.
