A small puppy appeared in the house - this is a joyful moment, because the pet is now a full member of the family. And he will need love, care and affection, and, of course, proper nutrition. But it is not enough to choose what you will feed him, it is important to consider what kind of dishes your pet will eat from.
You should not use the kitchen utensils that you previously used to feed your four-legged pet.
Many owners believe that this is okay if the dog eats from a regular plate. But this is incorrect and very inconvenient - the bottom of the plates is shallow, and the food will spill out and the water will pour out. Moreover, there can be chips or cracks in the dishes, and the pet can damage its tongue. Therefore, it is worth considering purchasing the essentials for your puppy. And special bowls on a stand will be a good solution.

If you are going to feed your baby with dry food, then a bowl with sides will suit him so that the food does not spill out. A shallow bowl for feeding packaged food or canned food is a good choice. Medium-sized dogs generally don't like rimmed bowls and can use it for dog play.
