Dog Bowls

Our routine usually involves a quick rinse after every meal, but a deep scrub once a week is a must for any working dog’s gear. In the Ozarks, the humidity can turn a neglected water dish into a breeding ground for algae faster than a pond in July. We recommend using a dedicated sponge and some mild detergent to get all the gunk out of the corners of your Dog Bowls. If you have hard water, a little splash of vinegar can help remove those white mineral deposits that like to build up over time. It is a small chore that keeps your best friend’s water tasting fresh and clean.

Our neighbors in the Springfield metro area often ask about these for their aging hounds who might be feeling a bit stiff in the mornings. Ideally, you want the top of the Dog Bowls to sit roughly level with the lower part of the dog’s chest. This height allows them to swallow more easily and keeps them from gulping down too much air while they eat. We suggest checking the fit by watching them eat; if they look like they are straining or reaching, it is time to adjust the stand. It is a practical way to help your partner stay comfortable as they get up in years.
