Capture Your Pooch's Personality - Choosing Designer Dog Bowls

By David Davidson

When purchasing a bowl for your best friend, you will certainly want to select one that fits their personality, while maintaining the functionality that is needed at mealtime. Here are some tips for choosing the right designer dog bowls for your own pooch's mealtime needs:

• Make sure the bowl is the correct size for your dog. Long, floppy ears and wide open bowls generally don't make for the neatest combination, so choose the bowl to fit your dog's size and shape, as well as their personality.
• Select a bowl made from a sensible material. Bowls should be heavy enough that they won't tip over easily and easy to clean in between uses. If you have a very active or hyperactive dog, you might want to choose dog bowls made of plastic or metal to help prevent breakage.
• Be sure that you select a bowl that has a non-skid surface on the bottom. Even the most spoiled of dogs can have messy spills on occasion, when their bowl gets the better of them. This will keep the bowl from sliding away as they eat or drink.
• Choose bowls that are large enough to hold one meal's worth of food and twice enough water. This will make your job easier, allowing you to take care of your dog's needs at once, rather than dealing with several refills to get through a meal or running the risk of your dog not having enough water when you are gone.

Once you have narrowed down the selection of designer dog bowls with these tips, you can start choosing one that fits your dog's personality. There are many different designs and styles available. For instance, if you and your dog like to spend your free time feeling the wind in your face, riding a motorcycle, look for a bowl with a leathery look and a motorcycle logo. If your dog is a pampered little princess, she might like a bowl that has gems and rhinestones that spell out her name. The options are virtually endless and only limited by your own imagination. Choose a feeding dish that is the proper size and shape, plus expresses your family pet's individuality and feeding times will be everyone's favorite time of the day.
