I am interested in these bowls for my new puppy. We are getting a 10 week old Doberman. Any ideas if the 4" would be a good size to start with?

Hello Congrats on the new puppy. The 4 inch would be good to start with but he will grow and the 10 inch will be needed. We have a Goldendoodle and we bought the 10 inch after she was a year old. It really makes it easier for her to eat. This is a great product and it is the best looking one out there.It will last a long time,well worth the money.I bought it when it was on sale. Cant remember how much I saved but I think it was $10 to $20 dollars. I hope this helped you.

The 4" is really short to the ground so I'm sure it will be okay for the puppy. When they get bigger, you might want to upgrade to the taller one so it doesn't strain the neck.

That's a good question. We have a Basset Hound who will be 2 in a few weeks and we went with the 10 inch so he's not bending over to eat. My guess is your Doberman will be as tall as my 2 yo Basset!

Yes, it's perfect for that size. These look nice and clean up easily. Love the handle for picking up the bowl. I have three of them for a 19 lb, 27lb and 36 lb dog.

The bowls have to be 24 oz each. They are definitely not each 48 oz. I have two of them for my two Bernese mountain dogs. I love them! Easy to clean!

Well, with dogs that small, it might be a toss-up. Their snouts are small, and they might just be able to get down into the ridges to get the food. The bowl is a little over 10" in circumference and the ridges are wide and vary in depth to over an 1-1/2". I'm thinking one of the other less intricate designs might work better....even for Otis. He's still not "chewing" the kibble, but it is taking him at lot longer to get it in his mouth and then swallow.

Hi.... I have the one quart bowls.... Inside of bowl measures 5 1/2 inches across the top and 2 1/4 inches deep. It comfortably holds approximately 24 ounces of food or water each. Anything more will spill over top when dog eats out of it. I originally had the pint size dishes and they were too small. They would be good for a cat or very small dog. I have a 30 lb terrier and they are perfect for her. The pint bowls were about 4 inches across and not as deep as quart bowls. I hope that helps. Bill

I bought these bowls for my two Cockatiels. I hang them in their cages. They are great. Can't respond about dogs.

I think they have these bowls on the Crate & Barrel website, and they have replacement lids for sale. It looks like the 5.5 size may be on backorder though. Hope that helps!

My bowls are 6" bone is 3", I have no idea if it is the small, or medium. I have Shelties, so a long snout is just right for this item. It did slow them down dramatically.

I think the bowl will work for any size pup unless it's teeny tiny like a chihuahua... I do have to say that the more complex bowls work better than the simple ones to slow them down... you could also get the ball that you put in the dish to try, but for my dog, these "maze-type" dishes have made a big difference in her eating... she has basset/am bulldog... and she's all about her food!

Sorry, I have 2 dogs and they have learned to eat very quickly by circling around the bowls to get their semi dry dog food. Needless to say, we don't use these bowls. I think the flower type bowls from this company work a little better. Good luck.

This bowl is not a big bowl. I have a 7lb Pom and when I got this bowl he was 7 months old he is now a year old and I still use it....it's perfect.

I chose mine based on color, lol. My dog is orange and white so I picked the orange bowl. :-) I would say realistically, though, the more squiggles and valleys the bowl has, the slower your dog is going to eat. So if he or she eats REALLY fast, I would pick one that's very "busy". Just my humble opinion. :-) Good luck! ~ Theresa ~

I would suggest the 5", even if its a bit big. My dog is 19# and rocks the 5". The smaller one wont hold many treats and will be that more likely to get lost under furniture.

Hi, April, I bought mine for my cat and it seems sturdy enough. I don't think your puppy could flip the bowls, because they're pretty secure. The problem with this product, as I see it, is that the pet makes such a mess that you end up cleaning all these parts rather than just wiping up the floor. My cat made a mess every time he ate or drank and I ended up taking the bowls out and sitting them on the floor. If I were tempted to get a similar product again, I would look for something that held the bowls from underneath, so there isn't any surface to get wet/mucky. I hope this helps. (Edited to add: I'm also disappointed in the quality of the metal bowls; the packaging tape still hasn't come off the one bowl, which is frustrating).

You could also try some Asian rice bowls that have the same volume and rim dimensions, I purchased some shallower plates which fit on top of the existing/supplied bowls. The depth of the bowls in this apparatus defeat the whole purpose of the concept which is elevating the chow to the meow !!

I got the 4 cup size. It's a little small. It fits a single feeding for sure but I'd get the next size up if I bought them again. Maybe a 6 or 8 cup size. But I don't think they're very skid-proof. The bowls are nice but they do slide. Thought I'd mention I bought some dog collars that I really like: Rogz Reflective Dog Collar 5/8" large. My dogs are 80lbs.

I have medium for a yorkie mix, I think small would work fine for your needs. These are nice bowls, I have two and got medium so she has plenty of water throughout the day. She is 16 lbs. and a hyper beast that drinks a lot.
