Chihuahuas are the smallest breed of dog and also the oldest dog breed. Because of the diminutive size, they are a favorite choice for big city apartment dwellers. They are sometimes characterized as yippy or aggressive, but with the proper training and care chihuahuas can be a loveable pet.

You may think a pet bowl is a Pet bowl, but all are not equal. Different Pet bowls offer different features, and some are better than others. Here’s the lowdown on the main types of Pet bowls available.
1. Plastic Pet Bowls
Plastic Pet food bowls come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. However, these bowls may not be optimum for many Pets. Bowls made of softer plastic can be easily chewed or scratched by your Pet, leaving places for bacteria to build up. Additionally, some Pets may develop an allergy to the plastic, resulting in a mild skin reaction on the chin or face. On a positive note, plastic Pet bowls are relatively inexpensive, typically dishwasher-safe, and unlikely to break if dropped.
2. Ceramic Pet Bowls
Ceramic Pet bowls are a great way to express your style. They are often decorated with fun designs and may be handmade by artists. Their protective glaze makes them easy to keep clean, especially if dishwasher-safe. However, ceramic Pet bowls can crack and become unsafe for your Pet. Smaller, less visible cracks can harbor bacteria. Be sure to inspect these bowls regularly for damage.
3. Stainless Steel Pet Bowls
Stainless steel Pet bowls are by far the most durable and are also dishwasher-safe. These bowls are sometimes made with a non-skid rim on the bottom to prevent spilling. Unfortunately, stainless steel bowls do not often come in colors or designs. However, they are practical, inexpensive supplies for your Pet that stand the test of time.
4. Elevated Pet Bowls
Elevated Pet bowls typically consist of two plastic, ceramic or stainless steel bowls in a stand. The stand is typically made of metal, wood or plastic. Experts believe that elevated feedings are healthier for Pets, possibly preventing gastrointestinal problems. Also, this type of bowl may be more comfortable for some Pets. If your Pet tends to paw at his bowl, the stand should ideally be placed near a wall to prevent tipping. Elevated Pet bowls tend to be pretty expensive, but are often considered worth the price. Some even include a compartment to store food, which can be a good or bad feature depending on your Pet’s ability to cause some destruction!
5. Automatic Pet Bowls
Automatic Pet bowls are standard Pet bowls (usually plastic) attached to a container or reservoir. They are designed to keep your Pet’s bowl full as long as there is food or water in the storage compartment. While these bowls are a good idea in order to keep water available to your Pet, they are not often recommended for use with Pet food. Free-feeding is not ideal for most Pets, as it does not allow you to monitor your Pet’s food intake accurately and can lead to weight problems. Some automatic feeders are programmable, only giving your Pet food access at the times you set. However, there is always the chance that your Pet can break in! It’s just better to just feed your Pet in person.
6. Travel Pet Bowls
Travel Pet bowls are a great way to bring food and water along for a car ride, trip to the park, vacation or other excursion. They are typically made of polyester or similar fabric with a plastic or nylon liner, though some are specially designed from more rigid plastic. The bowls can be folded or collapsed to smaller sizes once empty, making them easily portable. Travel Pet bowls are not very expensive and quite worth it if you like to take your Pet places.
