If you think this is an exaggeration, just try removing the pet food dish and watch your dog's reaction. Your little buddy's observed you very closely and noticed that you are the one with the opposable thumbs, not him. While he might, with enormous concentration, manage to open the cupboard door and knock out a new
bowl with his paw, he knows that, with those thumbs of yours, you can easily put his dog food bowls right back in place. And then please put something yummy inside it, thank you. A dog treat would be ever so nice.
Like
dogs, all dog food bowls were not created equal. Your Jack Russell Terrier won't require the same size dog dish as your Great Dane. If your dog is a fast grower like a Dane, you can find a feeding station with an adjustable height so as your puppy grows taller you can adapt the bowl for an easier reach.
Stainless steel dog food bowls are a good sanitary choice because they're easy to wash and dry quickly and thoroughly. Ceramic dog dishes are nice too, because most are heavy enough to stay put and withstand the pushing action that may be a part of your dog's eating habits. Ceramic dishes are also generally dishwasher and microwave safe, and that's a plus too. Dog food bowls are best when they make you and your puppy dog happy, and meet your requirements for cleanliness and ease of care.
Designer dog bowls are fun and come in a wide variety of colors and patterns to match your decor. 
Make sure you put a placemat under the
bowls to keep your floors safe from possible scratching or water damage. The dog dishes are best kept on a service porch or somewhere out of the main traffic of the kitchen so your pooches can feel safe and secure while enjoying their dinners.
Feeding stations usually have the dog bowls set down inside them, but some also come with handy
storage space beneath the bowls where you can stash some extra kibble or some of your doggie's favorite treats. Find a feeding station that is made of durable and attractive wrought iron or one made of high quality wood.
Get your dogs the kind of bowls that make a nice addition to your home. There is no excuse not to be creative, with all the varieties of food bowls available today. Look for discount pet
supplies too, where you'll find the highest brand name quality pet bowls available at a fraction of the cost of the department stores.
