Which type is right for my dog? Look for a heavy-duty bowl that won't tip over and can be easily cleaned. Nontipping stainless steel dishes are easy to care for and durable. Nonskid bottoms help prevent bowls from migrating and flipping over. Ceramic bowls come in colorful varieties (many are printed with designs). Plastic may be less expensive, but it can be scratched or chewed. |

Which size is right for my dog? Most dishes come in a huge variety of sizes; choose the one that best fits your dog's size and appetite. You don't want to feed your Rottie out of a bowl big enough for a Pomeranian. Breeds with short faces, like Pugs, prefer wider, shallower bowls. Puppies may need a bowl with a raised center that keeps food where they can reach it. |

Would my dog benefit from a raised feeder? Raised feeders make sense for tall dogs (some experts believe that raised dishes aid digestion), older dogs, dogs with arthritis, or dogs with long ears that tend to flop into food or water. An adjustable-height feeder can be raised progressively as your puppy grows up. |
