Shallow Bowls
Without any doubt these types of bowls are among the most popular ones, however, the thing you might not know is that they are designed for dogs that are smaller in size i.e. small to medium breeds like Beagles, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Corgis and puppies.
Deep Bowls
On the other side, deep bowls are mainly designed for dogs with long and thin snouts like Greyhounds, Dachshunds and Collies as they give the dog freer and comfier access to its food.
Steep-Sided Bowls
These types of bowls are also considered as a deep type with the main difference that they have a narrow opening at the top and sides which are angled inwards. These types of bowls are ideal for a dog with long ears like Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds, Beagles, etc., as that way their ears will stay dry and food free which is not an option when eating from other types of bowls.
Elevated Bowls
The elevated type of bowls are great for dogs with larger or giant dog breeds like Mastiffs and Great Danes, but as well as for dogs with some physical disabilities, joint or muscle pains. These types of bowls are available in a range of heights and sizes allowing dogs of any size to eat from them.
Slow-Feed Bowls
Last but not least, these types of bowls are designed for dogs of any size, and they are designed for those that have a tendency to eat pretty fast. Unfortunately, this is a bad habit that can lead to a lot of problems like gas, bloating, etc., so the best way to avoid this from happening is by investing in slow-feed bowls.
