Hygiene is important for both the pets and humans.in this relationship. If you do purchase plastic bowls make sure they are from a reputable supplier and have a flat bottom. The flat bottom is for my main point. We run a maximum temp doggie dishwasher cycle for all the dog bowls and utensils daily. This eliminates both bacteria and the build up of limescale in water bowls. The practice of leaving food out for dogs should be avoided at all costs feeding time is feeding time and that is that. The only bowls we leave out are the water bowles these are all ceramic. as stainless attracts limescale. I use several types of bowl in the house as we care for customers dogs as well as our own.

Thankfully she has a stainless steel one. I'm not sure what made me pick that but I'm sure glad I didn't choose plastic. Jeez, I never thought to consider what my dogs bowls were made of!
