Title: Best food and water bowl for Shih Tzu
1Dog Food Bowl
2 You may ask yourself why you should choose any
particular dog bowl over another, when they seem
to only need the simplest bowl design in order to
get the job done. If you have any special
circumstances that have led you to look into
better dog dish designs, such as digestive
problems, arthritis, having an aging pet or maybe
youre even having a problem with ants marching
into your dogs bowl! These are usually what
drives pet owners to seek a solution and here are
some answers!
3Whether you live in a house with a big backyard
or high in a tall apartment building, you may
find that ants are getting a free lunch from your
pets bowl! If you encounter an ant problem, and
find that these little insects have created a
path straight to your doggies food, there are a
few specially designed bowls on the market that
can help! They incorporate a moat-like feature
that drowns ants or discourages them from
climbing up into the bowlgenius! Another thing
you can do is scrub the area around the pet dish
with soap and water, and a thorough mist of
cleaning vinegar around the entire vicinity to
throw them off of the scent of that path that the
ants have created towards the food.
4When the issue is that your pup is gulping down
his food too fast, try our a food bowl maze!
These are designed to challenge the dog so that
he has no choice but to grab smaller bits from
the dish, which slows down his pace of eating.
This is helpful for improving digestion.
5Some people prefer to keep their dogs feeding
area outside, however if you would like to keep
the dishes inside for convenience and comfort, it
is a great idea to place them in your kitchen.
That way, you do not have to take them far to
refill them and clean them. If you have a utility
sink in your laundry room or perhaps garage,
these might make great spots for the pet dishes
as well. Be sure that the area is dry and clean
so that the pets food is not susceptible to mold
growth or invasion from pests. These dangers are
as much of a threat to pets as they are to human
members of the family!
6For those who have older pets with achy joints,
you may choose an elevated food stand so that
your dog doesnt have to stoop to reach his food,
especially if he has rather long legs. There are
tons of fashionable versions to choose from, and
most of them have removable dishes (one for the
food, one for the water), which means you dont
have to stoop as low either to clean and fill the
bowls! Some designs even have a storage unit
inside which turns it into a one-stop feeding
station. Storage/dish combinations are awesome if
you are short on space, and really help keep the
food fresh and safe from pests. There are even
single-dish feeders that are elevated and tilt
the bowl slightly toward the dog so that he does
not have to bend his neck to reach the food
inside, which is wonderful for posture and
digestion.
