This 9-inch stoneware dog bowl is the heavy-bodied alternative to plastic and stainless dog dishes. The 9-inch diameter is the standard size for medium and large breeds, sized to hold a full kibble meal plus extra water without crowding. The heavy stoneware body is dense enough to stay put on the floor when an enthusiastic eater pushes the bowl around — the universal complaint about lightweight plastic dishes.
The high-gloss interior glaze is non-absorbent — meaning food smells and bacteria don’t soak into the bowl surface the way they do with porous ceramic or scratched plastic. The smooth surface wipes clean and stays clean even with kibble that has high oil content. The exterior ‘DOG’ lettering is a useful identifier when the household has multiple bowls in rotation (or when humans need a clear marker not to use it for their own ice cream).
The bowl is microwave safe (useful for warming refrigerated food slightly before serving), dishwasher safe (so it joins the regular dish run rather than getting hand-washed separately), lead-free, and chemical-free. Stoneware dog dishes outlast plastic dishes by years and outlast stainless dishes when chewing-prone dogs are involved. Lehman’s catalog selection for the household dog.
