MATERIAL
Stainless steel is regarded by most to be the best all around material for dog food and water bowls. Stainless steel dog bowls won’t accumulate bacteria or get chewed up like plastic bowls, and they won’t chip, crack, or shatter like glass or ceramic bowls. Not all stainless steel is created equal, though. In fact, there are hundreds of different grades of stainless steel, and while some types make great mufflers or appliance faces, not all types make great pet bowls. That’s why we use only 304 series (also known as 18/8) stainless steel for our dog bowls.
DESIGN
SAFETY
While we’re proud to support U.S. manufacturing and U.S. jobs, for us, U.S. based manufacturing is also about the added safety and accountability that comes with it. But in a world where some pet bowls have been recalled for being radioactive and some have been found with high levels of lead, even that isn’t enough. That’s why we send one bowl from every batch out to an independent lab for heavy metals testing (lead, mercury, and cadmium) and screen every batch for radioactivity. That’s also why you won’t find any ‘for pet use only’ labels on our bowls. Our bowls are fit for pets and people, because they should be.
SPECS
Tip! When selecting the best bowl size, it's important to consider not just how much food or water it holds, but also the size of the bowl relative to the size of your pet. We've factored this into our "typically best for" guidance below.

The BEST & SAFEST
United StatesPerfect Low Bowl
Our chiweenie loves her new low stainless bowl. This is the perfect size and shape, and, although small, it is heavy enough to prevent her tipping it over. It is significantly thicker than the smaller Korean stainless bowls that we have purchased (but those are nice bowls. too). It wipes clean easily and can survive the dishwasher. We wish the edges were more rolled, as it feels a little bit sharp - but none of us has been injured. Overall, this is a a winner.
United StatesLove these bowls
These are the best and safest bowls made in the good old USA! I purchased my first Basis years ago and just purchased four more. The only bowls to use IMHO!!
United StatesQuality stainless bowl

United StatesBest Bowls For Your Pet
I personally believe these are the nicest pet bowls you can buy for the money. Our pets are members of our family and we do our best to make sure the food, treats and whatever else we get for them is safe. You will not go wrong purchasing these bowls.
