Product Review

Don't underestimate the importance of a high quality dog bowl. Some foreign made pet bowls have tested positive for high levels of lead. Some have been recalled due to low levels of radioactivity. These things can happen when there isn't sufficient control over a companies materials and manufacturing methods. At Basis Pet, we do things right. We start by sourcing only U.S. stainless steel that has passed an extensive metallurgical analysis, confirming its identity as a 304 series stainless steel (also called 18/8). The bowls are then manufactured in the U.S. Each finished batch is screened for radioactive contamination and 1 bowl from each batch is tested by an independent lab for heavy metal contamination (lead, mercury, and cadmium). Safe? For sure. But our stainless steel dog bowls have a smart design, too. Straight sides and rounded inside corners help to make this bowl functional for you and your dog. Our bowls are durable, heavy weight (22 gauge), and easy to clean (dishwasher safe). We've opted against a non-skid coating. In our experience, non-skid rubber coatings break down sooner than stainless steel. We want to ensure you don't have to replace your bowls prematurely. If sliding is a problem, we recommend picking up a non-skid pet bowl mat or using one of our stands.
