 A very good bowl !!!!! Jul 20, 2008
By Rainbolt
"Rainbolt"
I own over 5 of this type of item. It is a great kitten/small pet dish. Cleans up nice and has a non-skid bottom. This helps keep it from tipping and moving around while the pet is eating. Unlike plastic it will not hold bacteria or absorb smell and oil from food.
I do kitten and puppy foster care. We have to feed small amounts. The humane society that we volunteer at uses this bowl too. The description is miss leading, if you look at other sites they include the dimensions (1" deep with a 4.5 diameter or 5 diameter).

Great Product Jan 29, 2009
By Woodlandtrails
I have 4 cats. One of them gets chin acne which the vet said was caused by plastic bowls. I ditched the plastic and thought about ceramic bowls. Every ceramic bowl I looked at was made in China or Mexico and I do NOT trust either country not to put lead in the paint or some other harmful substance. They poison people with no problem so they could really care less about pets. I purchased about 7 of these bowls in different sizes (Amazon only sells a few sizes) and have had them about a year now and every other day they get dumped in the top rack of the dishwasher to be sterilized. The rubber on the bottom is fine. They are heavy and stay put. I am very pleased with them. The blogger who complained about the size should look around another website. This manufacturer makes many sizes.
If you need a larger bowl with lower sides - try the Bergan Pet Platter. I just purchased 5 or 6 of these bowls in different sizes and like them very much.

Own Several Bowls of Different Sizes Jan 08, 2009
By Woodlandtrails
The non-skid rubber on the bottom of these bowls do NOT smell or give off gas as one reviewer complained of. I own at least 7 of these bowls in all different sizes. I also own several ceramic bowls but got concerned about possible lead in the paint (that Mexico/China junk) and too many were accidentally broken or chipped .
NO PET (CAT, DOG, whatever) should eat out of plastic bowls-especially cats. One of mine got bumps/acne on her chin that turned out to be an allergy to plastic bowls. No plastic - no acne. I like ceramic pet bowls but finding one manufactured in the USA is like finding a needle in a haystack. Also, ceramic breaks and chips. Steel bowls are the answer BUT not the cheap, cheesy steel pet bowls. These are HEAVY bowls and not made of thin inferior steel junk that chips/scratches easily and then rusts where it is damaged. The Durapet bowls say India/Japan patents pending. Unlike Mexico and China, India and Japan are honorable manufacturing countries and besides, it is hard to screw up steel.
Buy these bowls for your cats and dogs. They will avoid eating off plastic (never a good thing) and you will not have to worry about inferior products or buying bowls for many years to come AND you can place them in the top rack of your dishwasher to really sanitize them. The rubber does NOT come off the bottom even after YEARS of dishwasher cleaning.

 smells bad May 16, 2010
By Caroline Nutter
"Foiled Again"
I thought I had found a great product. What I didn't think of when purchasing it was even though it will not skid, the rubber on the bottom has an oder and one of my cats is completely turned off from eating her food because of it. I watched her eat and suddenly stop and start sniffing all around the bottom of it and then back away in disgust. I picked the bowl up and smelled it myself and it does stink. I've soaked it in soapy water but I don't know if will go away. I may just have to return them.
