The best dog dishes for your pet’s meals

PawTracks Contributor

Whether you have a new puppy or you’re shopping for a replacement for your current dog dish, you’ll need one that provides excellent service and good construction. Our top choices for best dog dishes ensure that your dog has the best gear available — something easy to clean that doesn’t tip over easily. Let’s take a look at our list of favorites to find the right one for your dog’s lifestyle.

A dog dish could potentially be with you for a long time. You’ll need a dedicated bowl that can withstand cleaning, energetic playing, chewing, and any number of things your dog may put the dish through. Our favorites are wonderful dog dishes for your puppy or senior and every life stage in between.

Ethical Stoneware Animal Dish

Best Stone Dish

This durable stone dish features a high-gloss exterior with a simple, minimal design. It comes in a variety of sizes to suit your dog's needs and uses an ethically sourced stone for a durable finish that you can clean easily. The bowls are sized based on the circumference, not diameter, so be aware when you're sizing for the right one.

Petmate Replendish Gravity Waterer

Best Refillable

This gravity-fed pet bowl allows you to provide a steady stream of filtered water without constant refills. It uses safe and durable plastic to make it easy to clean while the wide base prevents tipping. It features a Microban antibacterial coating to prevent mold and mildew and comes in a few different sizes.

AmazonBasics Stainless Steel Dog Bowl

Best with Anti-skid

For a classic design that never fails, this stainless steel bowl set is perfect for food and water. It prevents your dog from tipping the bowl over and provides a durable material and construction. It's easy to clean, and a nonskid rubber bottom protects your floor while preventing the bowl from sliding. It's also rust and odor resistant.

A dog dish is a quintessential part of your dog’s gear. The dog dishes we’ve chosen cover a range of materials, but all offer you the chance to give your dog the best, even in something as simple as a dog bowl. Choose one of our favorites, and you’ll get something with durable materials and excellent performance.

Some dog owners (and fans of dogs) can name dozens of dog breeds like the back of their hands, but others can't even tell the difference between a dachshund and a Corgi breed. That's OK! As long as a dog owner knows how to take good care of their fur baby, they don't necessarily need to know the fun facts. At the same time, learning about different dog breeds can be valuable in certain situations, whether you like watching dog shows or are considering volunteering at a rescue.

Even if it's just for fun, there's a lot you'll want to know about the five newest dog breeds in the show universe. The American Kennel Club (AKC) is one of the largest dog breed registries in the world, and it oversees the standards and requirements for each new breed that's created. Since 2021, it has welcomed five new breeds to its ranks, and you may have even seen these dogs in a local or televised dog show (except for the newest breed, that is).

Betta fish are known for being territorial, feisty, rather combative, and therefore not great tank mates in general. This reputation, however, only holds true in particular situations and with certain fish friends. Male betta fish are aggressive, but only with other male bettas, so it is important to never put two males in the same tank. It will lead to tail-nipping behavior and other aggressive actions.

Happily, there are several other fish that can keep your betta company in a safe and non-aggressive environment. Many colorful, friendly fish cohabitate well with bettas. This is our guide to finding the perfect fish companion (or companions) for your betta.
