Designer dog dishes and bowls let you blend your dog's things into the decor of your home.
Things to consider: Interior design, number of dogs, and how dishes work for your breed of dog.
Decor Conscious - Designer dog dishes and bowls allow you to incorporate items that will usually be in plain sight into the overall look and feel of the interior design of your home.
Multiple Dogs - If you have more than one dog, it is advisable that each one have their own dog dishes and bowls. This will both reduce the chances of aggression between the dogs and will allow you to better control and monitor each one's diet. Now, you do not want to get identical dishes and bowls, of course, or you will have a heck of a time trying to figure out whose is whose. It is better to get a selection of designer dog dishes and bowls, maybe a different color or design for each dog, or monogrammed with each one's initials.
Bowl Style - No matter how fancy your dog dishes and bowls are, they also have to be practical. Consider, for example, your dog's snout when picking out her dishes and bowls. Dogs with long snouts -- like Shepherds and Collies -- will prefer a deeper bowl while dogs with squat snouts -- like Pekinese or Pugs -- will need a shallower bowl. Fashion is fine, but make sure your dog's dining accessories serve the purpose they are designed for.
