MidWest Stainless Steel Snap'y Fit Dog Kennel Bowl

We are dog trainers with a total of 11 crates in our home, so we use these a LOT! They are affordable and do exactly what we need them to do: no spilled water. We really like that they don’t have any plastic or rubber bits to chew and they stay secure when dogs are moving around. The metal bracket welds will eventually break if the dog is jumping on the bowl, so we attach the bowls so they touch the bottom of the crate to reduce that impact. Ditto other people’s advice of fill the water after the bowl is inserted and bend the bracket out a little if it’s too hard to insert. Stickers: *%#**#%^*++% AAAARGH!!! Soak in vinegar overnight seems to work best of what we have tried (even Goo Gone didn We are dog trainers with a total of 11 crates in our home, so we use these a LOT!

I read a lot of previous reviews and therefore was ready with the hairdryer to get the stickers out the inside of the bowl. However, I am happy to report that the stickers inside of my bowls came out super easy and were not sticky! There was a smaller sticker on the outside of the bowl, but it wasn't hard to pick off, less than 30 seconds. I wanted these bowls to go into my dogs' crate, and I'm so glad I took a chance on them as the sticker issue was no more!

These bowls were the perfect size for my rabbit. They are a very tight fit so you cannot fill them then place them in the holder and I have to make sure they are empty before taking them out to clean otherwise I will make a mess. However, my rabbit likes to throw her bowls around so these were perfect for her!

Great item if you can get the label that covers the entire bottom of inside the bowl. I have soaked these bowls in water for days, tried to scrape it off with a blade and it still covers the bottom of the bowl leaving it useless. They were on sale for $5.99 so I decided to just cut my losses at this point. Why they don't stick the label on the bottom of the outside part is beyond me. I will not be purchasing bowls of any sort from this site moving forward.

These mount easily and securely to our dogs' wire kennels. Haven't had any trouble getting the sticker inside the bowl off cleanly, but the one on the exterior side can be tenacious. It's not the end of the world, but maybe have some Un-Du handy :)

The bowls and concept is great. After overnight soaking in dish soap and 10 minutes of elbow grease, I was able to remove the label covering the inside bottom of bowl. Which left me with a scratched up bowl that looked 5 years old. There is a label stuck on the outside of the bowl I am NOT investing the time to remove. For the money, Midwest should spend the extra cents to spec a different glue type and consider less labels!! Chewy, you should demand better from them. These bowls are not cheap. Leaving the other three I bought for another ‘project day’

I ordered 4 of these bowls, they are a little bit hard to remove from the clamp, they do clamp very well to the wire kennel. I just wipe mine out with a damp towel then add water that way there is no spilling of water poured from glass. Some have said the stickers are hard to remove, but not for me I heated the bottom of the bowls with a blow dryer for about 15 to 20 seconds and they peel right off. Same for the ones on the side. I give these bowls A++ would recommend.

The bowls are really fantastic, they snap right into place and hold securely to the cage, But they come with stickers attached to the inside of the bowl that use an adhesive akin to Gorilla Glue. It took me about 30 minutes of scrubbing with a scouring pad, hot water and detergent to get the stickers and adhesive completely out of the inside of the bowl and before i felt comfortable letting my puppy eat and drink out of it, If they switched to a more easily removable adhesive, this would be a 5 star review.

Nicely designed and very sturdy. I bought 2 so I always have a clean one ready to go. Because it's so sturdy I clip the bowl on then fill/refill it with water using a water bottle or a measuring cup.

My puppies often knock the bowls off the rim. Difficult to position bowl to sit in rim. Instead of thin rim, I think a basket to just put bowl into would be easier and harder to knock out of place.
