What is the best no-tip stainless steel bowl you would recommend for a 12 lb.cat. I assume the bowl needs a flat bottom

I've been grabbing some very cheap SS pet bowls from the dog section of a local discount store. I have cats, but the dog bowls are big and deep enough to hold the fountain and still provide room to drink. Anything made for pets will be designed with a wide flat bottom and will be resistant to tipping. You don't want to use something like a SS mixing bowl. Bergan makes some nice inexpensive ones.

I used a large Steele mixing bowl. I have 2 very active cats. they never knocked it over.

I bought one primarily for the cat (he won't drink anything but running water), but both of my dogs (30 lb. and 50 lb.) use it from time to time. They still use their traditional water bowls when they are so thirsty that they just want to dive in. (The Catit bowl requires a little more patience on their part.)

Would be nearly impossible for a cat to tip the machine over. It has a large, stable footprint and is bottom-heavy with the mechanics, even when using the expanded food container. To get the top off, a cat would need opposable thumbs about six years of intense training with an animal behaviorist.

Try looking up the Kyjen website for a video or direct help. I'd suggest the spiral bowl to make it easier for you to add the food (or clean up!) and still challenge your pup.

I bought seperate bowls that werent as deep as these based off another commenter...they fit. commenter title is "great for arthritic cat" left jan 30th 2013. If they have deeper bowls too this should work. you'll have to click on the commenters link to see the type of bowl brand it was... sorry I cannot remember off the top of my head who sold it but that link will help you

I don't think this would work. Especially if they move the bowl around a lot. My two cats get a lot of food on the floor and I don't use it for our 30lb dog as ibwoukd be worried it would tip.

I use it for cats and tipping has never been a problem. Whether a dog might tip it over would depend on how large and rambunctious the dog is. I will say that it is much wider heavier and more stable than most pet bowls.

Hi Kate, the two I purchased have no ridges on the inside bottom. The outside bottom or base has ridges so it doesn't slide easily when it's on the floor. But there is nothing inside of it for any litter to get stuck in, or anything in there to injure your cat(s). Hope this helped, and have a great day! Oh ps the two I received are a light grey color.

Go to google and type in: "embossed paw print stainless steel bowl" and you'll see a dozen websites that carry them. They are actually generic bowls. When I bought the feeder, which I also love, it just so happened I already had extra bowls!

I have stainless steel bowls too but even with that they end up eating the stopper... i end up buying a slow feeder bowl... works better and they can't destroy it.

Get the large--I recommend getting a Stainless Steel bowl to put in this-Its a great holder-but not good for pets to eat and drink out of plastic-A stainless bowl for this is a standard size but you may want to get this holder first to be sure what size you need==can get anywhere-walmart,etc

You have a bit of a problem here. By the way, my finicky cat likes this stuff. This is given by weight of the cat. For my cat's weight around 12lbs. also she get a tsp mix in her soft food. I feed my cats differently for different ailments so I just keep a watch that they don't get into each others bowl. Hope this helps.

I found ceramic bowls of the same size as the original stainless steel bowls at the local pet store and they work just as well. Be sure to take a tape measure to the store so you can be sure the new bowls will touch the bottom and sides of the heating unit. It's OK if they sit a bit below the rim of the unit or a little above it. Kathleen Marshall

My cat's bowl holds 4 1/2 oz. of water if filled to the brim. I use it for her canned food, and it would hold about a full can, although I only give her 1/4 can at a time as she is a slow eater. The bottom of the dish is marked 07/10, not sure what that means.... I have seen larger ones of the same design in stores that would hold 12 oz.

I have only used it for treats. My cat has figured out how to rock it to get it all out quickly. Other cats don't use it so I don't think using as a food bowl would be a good idea.

I use mine for a purebred boxer, but he is not flat nosed. My other boxer, also purebred is quite flat nosed and has used the bowl before. I think a French Bulldog could probably use it. It has little rubber feet at the bottom which will help with grip to stay in place. If you have a place where the bowl won't slide around this would help your dog get the food from the bowl. There is also a metal bowl with a single large bump, this would be another option....it's what my other boxer uses all the time (the flatter nosed boxer). No matter which bowl you choose, your dog will master it in time and will eat from it with ease. I use mine for a purebred boxer, but he is not flat nosed.

I would think a bowl about 16-20 ounces would be great for that size dog. I use the 20 ounce Snap'y Fit Water and Feed Bowl that can attach to a cage (just like the one in the photo) for both of my jack russel terrier and my dachshund/terrier mix, who range from 20 to 25 lbs, and also use one of the bowls for my cat who is <15 pounds, and I love these bowls. They are super easy to clean, and I bought them 2 years ago and the steel looks like new.
