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.

Cats vs. dogs is an age-old debate, and their feud could go back millennia. Likewise, you'll see some pretty big debates go down about dog people and cat people with entire countries throwing their preferred animal into the ring. But some choose to forgo this dichotomy and bring home both dogs and cats. In these households, the epic fight continues with each taking a few wins and losses. While dogs are generally the larger creature, sometimes they get outsmarted by their feline companions.

You might bring home a sweet budgie specifically to hear its beautiful song, but you probably don't expect your dog to serenade you. And yet, many pups love to get down to the beat of their favorite tune. It sounds wild (and is likely connected to your pet's ancient ancestors) but it happens more often than you'd think. In modern times, there's nothing funnier than watching a four-legged beastie attempting to match pitch, and we can't get enough of this one.

Ensuring your furry best friend gets plenty of water is one of the most important parts of being a pet parent. But how much water should your dog drink on a daily basis? Veterinarians claim the general rule of thumb is a simple equation: The majority of dogs require around 1/2 to 1 ounce (about 1/8 of a cup) of water per pound of body weight each day. Don't want to reach for your measuring cup? Make sure your pup has round-the-clock access to clean water, and everything should be fine.

That being said, if your dog empties his water bowl several times a day, or you notice his water intake has increased drastically, you should probably keep a close eye on things. If your dog drinks a lot of water, you may be wondering, "Why is my dog always thirsty?" We'll share how to monitor your pup's water intake, the most common reasons your dog may be thirsty, and when you should speak with your vet.
