Bailey Says 🐾

Right. Bowls. This is a subject I feel strongly about. I have eaten from many bowls in my life and I can tell you with authority that the material matters. Stainless steel is the correct choice — it doesn't hold smells, it doesn't scratch and harbour bacteria like plastic does, and it's easy to clean. The non-slip base is also a genuine improvement on bowls that slide across the kitchen floor while you're trying to eat, which is undignified for everyone involved. The red is a bold choice. I respect it. My friends, your dog deserves a proper bowl. This is a proper bowl. 🐾

How To Use

Place the bowl on a flat surface — the non-slip base will keep it securely in position during feeding. Fill with food or water as required. After use, clean by hand or place in the dishwasher. The stainless steel construction is fully dishwasher safe and will not warp, stain, or degrade with regular machine washing. For the coloured interior, a gentle dishwasher cycle is recommended to maintain the finish over time.

Care Guide

  • Dishwasher safe — suitable for regular machine washing
  • Use a gentle cycle to maintain the hand-finished interior colour over time
  • Rinse promptly after use to prevent food residue drying on the surface
  • Dry thoroughly before storing to prevent water marks on the stainless steel exterior
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers on the coloured interior

Professional Insight

Stainless steel is the material of choice recommended by most veterinary professionals for dog feeding bowls — and for good reason. Plastic bowls develop micro-scratches over time that harbour bacteria and biofilm, even after washing. Stainless steel's non-porous surface doesn't have this problem, making it significantly more hygienic for daily use. The non-slip base is also worth highlighting from a behavioural perspective — a bowl that moves during feeding can cause anxiety in some dogs, particularly those who are food-motivated or eat quickly. A stable bowl makes for a calmer, more controlled feeding experience.

Training Academy Tip 💡

Feeding time is a training opportunity. Use your dog's meal as a reward for calm, controlled behaviour — ask for a sit or a wait before placing the bowl down, and release with a consistent command. A dog that learns to wait calmly for its food is a dog that's developing the impulse control that underpins all good gundog work. A stable, non-slip bowl like this one makes the exercise cleaner — the bowl stays put, the dog stays focused, and the routine becomes consistent.

FAQs

Which size should I choose for my dog?

As a general guide: X-Small (300ml) suits very small breeds and puppies; Small (500ml) suits small to medium breeds; Medium (800ml) suits medium to large breeds; Large (1500ml) suits large and giant breeds or multi-dog households. If your dog is a fast eater or drinks a lot of water, consider sizing up.

Is stainless steel better than plastic for dog bowls?

Yes — stainless steel is widely considered the superior material for dog bowls. It doesn't harbour bacteria in scratches the way plastic does, it doesn't leach chemicals, it's easier to clean thoroughly, and it lasts significantly longer. The Poppy Collection's bacteria-resistant properties make it a particularly hygienic choice.

Will the coloured interior fade or chip?

The hand-finished interior is designed for durability with regular use and dishwasher cleaning. Using a gentle dishwasher cycle and avoiding abrasive cleaners will help maintain the finish. The Buffalo Co. recommends gentle care to preserve the colour over time.

Is this bowl available in other colours?

Yes — The Poppy Collection is available in 7 beautiful colours. Browse the full collection in our store to find the colour that best suits your home and your dog.
