Van Ness Ecoware Non-Skid Cat Dish, Blue, 8-oz

Whisker fatigue-sounds like a joke but it’s not. The whiskers are connected to highly sensitive nerves and some cats won’t finish food or eat if they’re whiskers are gonna hit the bowl sides. Saucers work fine except the food ends up over the edge. Deep bowls cause whisker fatigue as well as narrow diameter bowls. These bowls are wide and shallow so they work much better. Yes, you may have to scrape the food from the edges to the middle once, but better than food over the edge! The bowls look very shiny and feel look like plastic but they’re bamboo. The bottom is nonskid. They are a nice weight. You can wash by hand or top rack. Do not microwave! They’re cute, too, and the price is good. I have Whisker fatigue-sounds like a joke but it’s not.

They were 7 weeks before they graduated from saucers to bowls. The bowls are very nice. Con: why just blue??? I would LOVE to have different colors! But hey- they’re great anyway and not as bad for the environment. Good job! … more

i had my eye on this for awhile, it's so cute and neat that it's made of such an ecofriendly material. it didn't have its own packaging which worked out fine, the material didn't absorb stink and it didn't get damaged, protected by the packaging that was around it and the other items inside. I'm not sure yet whether to use it as her water dish for now and continue using saucers for food or use it for food and clean it each time using a regular bowl for water until i maybe get a fountain but i think it'll do great either way. it really seems like ceramic with a nice rubber bit on the bottom.

Being home more during COVID has meant feeding my kitties more wet food more often, and I love these cat sized dish types for that. Also being home more - I'm breaking more (oops!) so went shopping. I normally shy away from plastics because I find ceramics are more earth-friendly...then I saw this bamboo-originating plastic and thought I'd try it because plastics are well, quite frankly cheaper than ceramics. I love everything about it. Has a nice lip to prevent spillage, cute design, easy to clean, dishwasher friendly, love the grippy bottom. I ended up getting a 2nd one and a pink one in a different design too. Recommended!

I needed to replace my chipped ceramic pet bowls, so I ordered 4 of these cute little melamine cat bowls. I am so happy with these! They are nice and heavy and have a wonderful no skid ring around the bottom. These work great for my 8 pound poodle. Wish they came with a dog design but he doesn’t seem to mind. Highly recommend!

These are sturdy, lightweight, and smooth, with a nonskid bottom. The fifth star was withheld because one of the several I ordered had a large broken piece off the rim and side. Rather than make a fuss, I'm just using the others and it will be fine.

I am so happy I bought these. My cat was wasting a half of the 3oz. can of food every day because she would not put her head into the shallow double bowl I had for her. And then it would get dry around the edges & I would end up throwing it away. No more waste! She eats all her food now. I bought 2. The other for water (she used to drink it out of the dog's bowl which is much wider). Also it goes well with the colors in my house! Shipping was very quick. Very happy with this purchase!

These little blue food bowls are better than I had expected. Feels like heavy-duty melanine and the non-skid bottom is true as advertised. Plenty of room to fill a complete meal yet not too large so your cat has to hunt down his food in corners. I bought four of these bowls for my four cats, and yep, I'd definitely buy them again.

Easy to clean. Good for adults and for little kittens. No skid. They hold a lot. Dishwasher safe. They're pretty too and the price is right. We bought 10 of these because we foster kittens in all age groups. They sometimes manage to flip them over when empty mostly likely while they're playing with wild abandon and crash into them. I've dropped them on hard surfaces and they don't break or chip - so they're sturdy.

I like these bowls a lot. The sides are not high enough to cause whisker fatigue. They are light weight but the no slip bottom keeps them from being pushed around the floor when your cat is eating. The label says that they are not dishwasher safe but I always put them in the dishwasher . I don't set it on high temperature wash and I don't set it on dry. Otherwise I would handwash them. I have been machine washing them for over 6 months and they still look like new. So I just bought some more!

I purchased two of these for my two cats who do not like to share their dry food bowls. They hold more than enough food for them throughout the day, and it's great how they're also non-skid.
