Stainless Steel Dog Bowls are Replacing Plastic and Ceramic Ones

When you own a pet, a good dog bowl is essential. The size and shape can vary, but every pet needs a safe container to eat from. However, some materials, such as plastic, can leak harmful chemicals into food and are prone to scratches, thus causing bacteria to breed and grow. Some metals will rust, which will destroy the bowl and release iron oxide to food. More and more people are replacing their ceramic or plastic dog bowls with stainless steel ones, and here are some of the reasons why people are doing so.

First of all, plastic is the absolute worst option among those three materials. There is some evidence showing that some types of plastics contain harmful compounds that may pose some health threats to your pets. Besides, plastic bowls can be easily scratched and later those scratches will become deep grooves, which form hotbeds of harmful bacteria.

Some poorly made plastic bowls may cause a rash on your dog’s nose and mouth, especially if your dog is chewy. You should definitely avoid any kind of plastic bowl if you don’t want your dog suffer these problems. Another potential risk is that the plastic pieces falling out of the bowl will likely harm your dog’s digestion.

Ceramic, though, is usually better than plastic for your dog, it also has downsides. Ceramic is a heavy and brittle material that can be broken into pieces with sharp edges if you dog loves dragging the bowl around while playing. More importantly, lead, a hazardous chemical, is still used in many ceramic glazes. The decorative colors and patterns can make the dog bowl expensive and also increase the price of shipping.

Now let’s take a look at stainless steel dog bowls. Among the three materials, stainless steel ones can be the best choice. The material is very easy to clean, leaving little room for bacteria to hide and it is more durable than other options. Stainless steel is heat-resistant, so it can withstand higher temperatures in hot summer and can be ideal for outdoor use. In addition, these dog bowls enjoy relative longer lifespans than other bowls.

These are some of the reasons that explain why more and more owners are choosing stainless steel dog bowls over other options..

Why 24oz and 32oz Stainless Steel Dog Bowls are Very Popular in the Philippines?

1. Filipinos like smaller dogs

Like many pet lovers around the world, Filipinos love dogs too. But most of them appreciate smaller dogs. For various reasons, the love for small dog breeds such like Chihuahuas, Pomeranians and Poodles is related to the experience of the country.

First of all, families in the Philippines don’t always have enough garden or outdoor space for dogs to run around, especially in more urbanized areas. Second, the raising and care cost of smaller dogs is relatively lower, because they need less food and supplies. Third, well, smaller pets are just cute and attractive, you can hold it easily whenever you want to.

Although smaller dogs are not necessarily better than larger dogs, they can be convenient if you are short of space or resources. They are also easier to be carried around, which is a big advantage in a country where only a little over 1% of the population owns private cars. Generally speaking, as life in the Philippines becomes more and more urbanized and crowded, for people who want a companion but have limited space, a small dog breed like Poodles may be a better choice.
