What size food bowls are best for medium-breed puppies?
The best size food bowls for medium-breed puppies will vary depending on each pup's actual size and appetite. When your medium-breed puppy is still quite little, be sure his bowl has sides that are low enough to allow him to easily reach his food. Once he gets bigger, a good rule of thumb is to choose a dog food bowl four times larger than the amount of food it will hold, to avoid a mess and make it easier for your puppy to eat. Check the puppy food package or talk to your vet to find out ideal portion sizes, as well as how often to feed your growing puppy.
Should my medium-breed puppy's food and water bowls be the same size?
Your medium-breed puppy's food and water bowls should not be the same size. The water bowl should always be much bigger. Most experts recommend having a puppy water bowl that is 2-4 times the capacity of the food bowl. This will help ensure adequate hydration and encourage your puppy to drink more.
