Our current picks of dog bowls and feeders
19 picks, updated 15 September 2026
A dog bowl is the piece of kit you use twice a day for a decade, so it is worth getting right. We looked at dog bowls the way we look at food, starting with what it is made of, whether it stays put and how easily it cleans.
Every pick here earned its place on what it is made of and how well it does its job. These are the bowls and feeders we would happily put in front of a dog.

Peggy11
Stainless Steel Bowls, 900ml twin pack
Why we picked it
Stainless steel is the most hygienic bowl material there is. Nothing stains it or holds a smell, and it rinses clean and goes in the dishwasher for years. These hold 900ml each and sit on a silicone base that keeps them steady on smooth floors. Two come in the box, so food and water are covered for a small or medium dog.

Toozey
Raised Dog Bowl, height-adjustable
Why we picked it

pecute
Slow Feeder Bowl Set, 3 in 1
Why we picked it
Three things that usually get bought separately arrive together here. A moulded maze slows a keen eater, a stainless steel bowl holds water, and a bone shaped silicone mat grips the floor and catches spills. Both bowls lift out for the dishwasher, and the silicone folds down to 5cm thick, so the set packs into a bag for a weekend away.

Vantic
Raised Bamboo Feeder, adjustable, small dogs
Why we picked it
Most raised feeders are built for big dogs, and this bamboo stand is made for small dogs and cats. Six positions run from 2 to 7 inches, flat or tilted, and Vantic say the 15 degree tilt eases swallowing and neck strain. Two rust-resistant stainless steel bowls lift out for the dishwasher, it assembles without tools, and it folds away when the meal is done.

Divchi
Airtight Food Storage, 3 piece
Why we picked it
Dry food keeps better sealed than it does in an open bag, and airtight lids hold the freshness in and the damp out. This set pairs a 37 litre container for a bulk bag with a 13.5 litre one for treats, both clear so you can see when to refill. The measuring scoop in the box makes portioning a habit.

Petface
Pet Food Scoop
Why we picked it
Measuring dry food by eye is easy to get wrong, and a scoop that lives in the food bin fixes that. Petface is a long-standing UK pet brand, and this one is a sturdy single size, light enough to handle comfortably when full. The maker lists eco-friendly materials and an easy clean-up after use. It travels well too.

Trixie
Travel water bottle with built in bowl
Why we picked it

Unbranded
Reversible slow feeder bowl, two mazes
Why we picked it
Turn this slow feeder dog bowl over and a second maze appears, a heart pattern on one face and a petal pattern on the other.

A good pick for a dog who empties a plain bowl in seconds.

Questions people ask
Raised dog bowl or flat bowl?
Flat suits most dogs, and a raised bowl suits tall breeds and older dogs with stiff necks or backs. If you own a deep-chested breed such as a Great Dane or a Weimaraner, your vet can advise on the right height.
Stainless steel, ceramic or plastic dog bowl?
Stainless steel is the most hygienic, the lightest to wash and impossible to chip. Ceramic is heavy, so it stays put, and it keeps water cool. Recycled plastic is light and easy to lift, and a fresh one is simple to swap in when the surface scuffs.
Do slow feeder dog bowls actually work?
Yes, for dogs that bolt their food. A maze bowl can turn a thirty-second meal into five minutes, which is easier on the stomach and gives a keen eater something to work at. Calm eaters do just as well from a plain bowl.
How often should a dog bowl be washed?
Food bowls after every meal and water bowls every day, in the dishwasher or with hot soapy water. Steel and ceramic rinse clean quickly, which makes the daily habit easy to keep up.
