Loving Pets Bella Bowls Pet Bowl, Metallic Blueberry

The bowl arrived as described in good condition. However—there’s a sticker that almost completely covers the inside bottom of the bowl. It will not come off. I first tried the obvious, using my fingernail to pick at it. I could it get even a tiny bit of that sticker to come up. I tried soaking it in warm water for a half hour. No matter what I tried, not a single tiny portion of that sticker would come loose. Did they use gorilla glue? It’s unusable.

I purchased two of these bowls from another company as they were on clearance (probably because of the sticker!). I scraped and soaked for days and nothing worked--I've never had that much trouble with sticker glue like I did with this! I did not want to use any commercial goo remover on something that was going to be used as a water bowl and was about to give up when a friend said to use peanut butter. It worked like a charm! No residue at all. Make sure the bowl is dry and get a couple of paper towels, some peanut butter and just a bit of elbow grease and it will all come off. I have put them in the upper rack of the dishwasher after removing the rubber ring on the bottom as instructed and I purchased two of these bowls from another company as they were on clearance (probably because of the sticker!).

Overall a frustrating week of trying to remove the sticker glue but so glad that particular friend stopped by as I was cursing the bowls in my sink! … more

These are good bowls, but the glue underneath the sticker inside the bowl literally ruins them. I have purchased these bowls in the past and did not have this issue. It took so much work of scrubbing, soaking and scraping to get this sticker/glue off this time, I almost just threw the bowl out. Wish I had read the reviews and the other glue issues before I purchased.

The adhesive used to secure the label to the bowl it ridiculous. Stick the sticker on the bottom instead of the inside of the bowl. I’m soaking it in hopes of removing the adhesive….very disappointed with this aspect of the purchase, other than that this bowl was as expected and I love the color.

I love the bowls they are exactly what I wanted. The one negative I will say (in hopes that it changes) and to make buyers aware is that they place the product sticker right in the middle of the bowl. It left a sticky residue spot. I was able to get it off but now the bowls don’t really look new due to the scrubbing and washing.

I like the bowl fine, but it has a giant sticker in the middle of it when you buy it - and it's the type of sticker where when you peel it off it leaves all kinds of gunk all over the bowl. Put the sticker on the outside of the bowl!

These bowls came recommended to us and they do seem like they will be great once we can use them. But first we have to remove the paper label they stuck inside with extremely strong adhesive. We would rather not have our new puppy eating or drinking out of a bowl that has sticky residue in it still and it is a struggle to get this all out. Washing and scrapping - the glue just seems to move from one spot to another. The paper label could be put on the outside bottom of the bowl to prevent this.

Love the bowls. Light weight but sturdy. The rubber rings on the bottom of the bowls keep them from sliding all over the place. Great product, fast delivery, and top quality. Chewy is my favorite place to shop for my pets.

There was a big sticker on the inside of the dishes which of course left glue and paper when trying to peel it off. I let it soak in rubbing alcohol, boiling water, and also tried dish soap and a lot of scrubbing. I was never able to remove the glue and just threw away the dishes out of frustration.

I really liked the size of these and they look great as well. Easy to clean. Intended for our puppy. He flipped the bowl over and the rubber bottom came off. He was chewing on it and it broke into pieces from his chewing and would have been a hazard should he have eaten. Too bad as I really liked this upon receipt. Going back to traditional food/water stainless steel bowls that I have had for 15 years for previous pup.
