The Best Stainless Steel Dog Bowls in 2022

Cutely distinct, this well-priced bowl from Loving Pets scoops our best stainless steel dog bowls review’s top choice. With its vet-approved stainless steel, boosted by an eye-catching poly-resin outer, the Bella is available in a choice of five gorgeous colors as well as four sizes. The result is a durable, easy to eat from bowl to suit your pooch. Ideal for water or food, what we like about the Bella bowl is the rubber base that stops the whole bowl from scooting when your dog is enjoying his dinner. The rubber base is also removable, so you can then pop the bowl in the dishwasher for fuss free cleaning. These fun looking bowls are on the larger size however, so make sure you get the right size for your pet.                

If your pooch is a messy eater or you are training a puppy how to eat from a bowl, then this stainless steel bowl and mat combo for their food and water could be the way to go.  With two stainless dog bowls set inside a removable, bone-shaped silicone mat, this is an easy feeder for all small to medium dogs, with a choice of bowl sizes to suit your pooch. The edge of the mat is slightly lipped to contain any spills and the underneath grips the floor for no-slip stability. And, as the mat is removable, you can choose to use the corrosion and heat-resistant stainless steel bowls on their own. And cleaning couldn’t be simpler – just rinse bowls and mat under warm running water, with a little dish soap for more stubborn dirt.

Made from top grade 18/8 stainless steel that has been tested for lead, mercury and cadmium, these premium bowls are a durable investment for your pet.  This attention to detail means you get the peace of mind that the bowls are totally safe for your dog to eat and drink from. Each bowl is designed to make your pooch’s eating experience as easy as possible, thanks to the rounded inside corners which work with the shape of your dog’s muzzle. The higher-grade stainless steel makes this bowl seriously corrosion resistant, meaning they stay in shape for much longer. And the weight of the steel – the bow is made from a heavy-weight 22 gauge – helps to keep the bowl in place and won’t bend or buckle under prolonged use. You don’t get a rubber base with this two-bowl pack but they could work well with a separate mat.

If you want a no-fuss dog bowl made from durable stainless steel without denting your bank balance, then the Maslow Standard Bowl is our best value pick. There’s nothing fancy about the design of this dog bowl, it does what it says on the tin and comes in a choice of four sizes, so you get the best fit for your pet. The opening is nice and wide, with the bowl tapering to allow a stable bottom whilst giving your dog an easy space to eat or drink. And for the price, the stainless steel is of a decent thickness. Rust-free and resistant to chewing, this is a good go-to dog bowl for home or those dog-friendly RV and camping trips. The main downslide is that the Maslow doesn’t have a rubber base but will work well with a separate rubber mat for extra non-slip reassurance.

With its outer rubber ring and no-tip design, this metal dog water bowl / food bowl from AmazonBasics is a solid buy for all sizes of dog. Made from rust and odor resistant stainless steel and with a capacity of up to 38 ounces, this bowl is a real all-rounder and while not the thickest metal, it’s tough enough to put in the back of the camper or car for outdoor adventures with your pooch. The bowl tapers out towards the ground, making it a tough bowl to knock over and the rubber base has a pretty decent grip. The bowl opening is also nice and wide, and the inside is rounded slightly so your pup can get at every last morsel. Add in the fact that the whole bowl can be cleaned in the dishwasher and you get one of the best metal dog bowls for your money.

Near to the top end of our best stainless steel bowls review, the YETI Boomer 8 is undoubtedly a good-looking thing. But looks are not enough to justify the price, it needs to bring something else to the table. And it does – its sheer durability and taste for adventure! Designed for use both at home and for the outdoor life with your dog, the Boomer 8 has a decent capacity – eight cups of water or food. But what sets it apart is the metal quality, as it’s made from puncture and rust-resistant 18/8 premium grade, double-walled stainless steel, with a BPA-free protective outer coating. This means it can not only take the attention of a large, hungry doggo but can also withstand the knocks, drops and scrapes of the outdoors, be that a hiking or camping trip with your best canine mate. Add to the mix a non-slip rubber ring and the fact that it’s dishwasher safe, and we think you’ve got a dog bowl winner.

Sleek and smart, the Van Ness is a substantial metal bowl, designed for larger sized dogs. The stainless steel is heavy duty – with a six-gauge rating – and looks and feels durable and sturdy. The bowl offers a 96-ounce capacity and the base is designed wide to help prevent any tip over while there’s a lipped edge to help contain any spills. The metal is highly polished and smooth, and it certainly looks like it is pretty easy to clean. Other than a durable, non-skid rubber bottom, there are very few frills to this workhorse of a dog bowl and it probably the better for it. And the deep sides mean your large pooch can easily get their head inside and reach all that delicious food.

For a bowl set that’s ideal for puppies or smaller dogs, this pack from GPET is great value and should last you a decent amount of time. The stainless steel is nicely durable, with the high shine and cute bone motif adding a little touch of class to their mealtime. But looks aside, what you really want are bowls that can stand up to all that food-loving enthusiasm. While not the thickest construction, they have a quality feel and the wider base and non-slip rubber will help to protect against any exuberant puppy behavior. Each slightly elevated dog bowl also holds around 32 ounces and the metal is rust resistant and dishwasher safe.
