The next thing that needs to be considered while buying a dog or cat water bowl is its size
. Dogs with shorter face require shallow pet bowls whereas those with long muzzles require deeper dishes for eating conveniently. Elevation of the dish also plays an important role in your selection. Raised dog food or water bowls allow dogs to eat and drink without bending their neck. This makes it easy for the dog to swallow. Elevated bowls are apt for large-sized dogs and cats. In case your dog has a habit of scooting its food or water bowl over the floor then it is better to go for the bowls that come with rubber feet. Or you can also make use of a rubber dog mat to deal with this problem.
