Steel Bowl Standard

Product Details

Steel Bowl Standard is a single round pet bowl manufactured from stainless steel. It has a traditional open shape that allows pets to access food or water without internal obstacles or slow-feeding sections.

The standard bowl does not include a raised stand, slow-feeding insert or enclosed water reservoir. Its straightforward design makes it useful as a primary bowl, an additional water station or a spare feeding bowl.

The lightweight construction makes the bowl easy to lift, fill and move. Pets that push lightweight bowls around during meals may benefit from placing the bowl on a washable feeding mat or inside a compatible bowl holder.

Materials & Care

The bowl is made from stainless steel, providing a smooth and reusable surface for food and water. Stainless steel is durable under normal feeding conditions and is less likely to retain strong food odours than porous materials.

Wash the bowl before its first use and clean it regularly thereafter. Food bowls should ideally be washed after each meal, particularly when used for wet, raw or fresh food. Water bowls should be emptied, washed and refilled with clean water every day.

• Remove leftover food before washing
• Wash with warm water and pet-safe dishwashing liquid
• Rinse thoroughly to remove cleaning residue
• Allow the bowl to dry before refilling
• Dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning
• Inspect regularly for sharp edges or damage
• Replace the bowl if it becomes badly dented or damaged

Do not use harsh abrasive tools that may unnecessarily scratch the surface. Deep scratches and damaged edges can become more difficult to clean thoroughly.

Place the bowl on a stable, level surface away from household chemicals, litter trays and heavily trafficked walkways. Clean up spills promptly to reduce slipping around the feeding area.

Size Guide

Choose a capacity according to the pet’s size, meal portion and intended use. A water bowl generally needs more capacity than a food bowl, especially for larger dogs or households with more than one pet.

The guidance above is general. Select the bowl using the pet’s measured food portion and daily water needs rather than breed alone. The bowl should hold the full serving without food or water reaching the rim.

A wide bowl may be more comfortable for cats whose whiskers touch the sides during eating. Long-eared dogs may require a bowl specifically shaped to keep their ears away from food and water.

In homes with multiple pets, provide enough feeding and drinking stations to reduce crowding. Each pet should be able to access water comfortably.
