The Right Dog Bowls For Your Pets

Article Title: The Right Dog Bowls For Your Pets
Author: Mike Brown

Buying the proper to all bowls for your dog is extremely
important. If you are using the wrong size bowl for your dog
this may create problems while he is trying to eat. For
instance, the dog bowl may skid across the floor, if the animal
is too large for it. When the dog has his nose in the bowl and
begins to push it across the floor because he/she simply has
trouble accessing the food in the dish.

You'll want to prevent this by looking at a bowl's dimensions
and figuring out which size bowl is right for your dog. For a
large dog you'll want a bowl around 10-12 inches in diameter.
Whereas for a small dog about 4-6 inches in diameter and of
course a medium size dog should fall somewhere between the two.

Many times if the dog is to large for any given bowl they begin
the scoot the dish across the floor which can lead to skidding.
A solution to this problem is first, buy a larger bowl for your
dog. This allows your pet more access to the food in the
container and he/she isn't having to force their snout to the
bottom of the bowl to eat. Secondly consider buying a non skid
dog bowl. These heavy bowls help prevent the dog from moving the
dish and often times contain small pads on the bottom of the dog
bowl to further increase its staying power.

Another issue that can occur when feeding your dog, is bowl
tipping. Bowl tipping can be a very irritating problem.
Basically while your dog begins eating the end up tipping the
bowl over. A very nice solution to this problem is to buy a
non-tip dog bowl, which as you may have guessed will prevent
your dog from tipping the bowl over. This will solve two
problems, you'll be happier and your pet won't be running all
over trying to pick up the pieces of food it just tipped over.

Another problem when dog bowl selecting is buying bowls if you
have multiple puppies. This can get expensive so an easy
solution is to buy a flying saucer style of bowl. Flying saucer
dog bowls often come in a stainless steel layout and are open
around the edges. In the middle of the bowl is a raised nose
which makes this dog bowl look similar to a bunt cake pan. This
type of dog bowl allows your puppies access to the food from
every side, making this perfect for multiple pets. You may also
consider using a double diner dog bowl when you have more than
one small dog or puppy. Double diners sit into a small platform
and are two bowls in either side of each other. This style of
dog bowl allows bowl dogs to eat side by side at the same time
and works perfectly for smaller dogs.

If you are going away for a few days or prefer to fill up your
dog bowl and not have to deal with refilling it every other day
then this next dog bowl may be perfect for you. Twenty-four hour
dog feeders are idea for owners who have trouble feeding their
dog every single day or just prefer not to. You put the dog food
into a dispenser and as the dog eats food flows automatically
back into the bowl. This also helps dogs who eat fast to keep
from eating so quickly. As the food flows slowly into the bowl.

Decorative designer dog bowls also exist for anyone who prefers
their house and dog dish have style together. Often times
designer dog bowls are made of stoneware or ceramics. However
these type of dog bowls can be found in many different shapes,
styles and sizes.

Next time you are shopping for a dog bowl keep these tips in
mind. Finding the perfect bowl for your dog will also benefit
you and the needs of your household. Most dog bowls are
inexpensive and replaceable quickly.
