How to Help Dogs Choose Food Bowls

        When choosing a food bowl for dogs, most people's criteria are probably based on aesthetics. Because we think food bowls are just for holding food and nothing special, but we don't notice that many food bowls have different shapes. Since their function is the same, why use so many shapes and make it complicated? Let’s talk about how to help dogs choose food bowls and how to select the right bowl.

        We know there are many dog breeds, and different breeds have different face shapes. Some dogs have large heads and flat faces, some have small heads with pointed mouths, some have very long ears, etc. Actually, dogs with different appearances also have their own suitable bowls. Therefore, when choosing a bowl, it should be tailored to the dog, and suitability is key.

        For dogs with flatter faces, they should use very shallow bowls so flat-faced dogs can eat more easily. Also, when dogs eat, you can place an object under the bowl to raise the feeding dish to the same height as the lower jaw. This can help them raise their head properly while eating, making it easier to swallow the food.

        For dogs with longer ears, "small diameter, large capacity" bowls are more suitable. These bowls have very narrow openings that only allow the dog's mouth to enter, while their ears can hardly get in. This way, owners don't have to worry about their dog's ears getting dirty while eating. Also, elevating the bowl a bit can help dogs eat normally without their ears dragging on the ground.

        Dogs with long snouts can use deeper bowls because their longer faces allow them to better reach dog food at the bottom, and the larger capacity means you don't have to keep refilling their food constantly.

        From this, we can see that choosing food bowls involves a lot of knowledge. Selecting the most suitable bowl according to different dog face shapes also shows that having many differently shaped bowls has its rationale.
