In conversation with some other dog people here at work, the general feeling is Bamboo would be iffy due to the porous (although admittedly tight porous) nature and potential for harboring bacteria. Safest would be non-porous ceramic.

<p>for food. They're heavy, good sized and cheap ($1.50 ea). And I can pop them into the dishwasher without worry.</p>

I have no clue for dog bowls but I do like my bamboo cutting boards and salad utinsels. Mine do say not to put in the dishwasher though.

Thanks for the response. I like the fact that bamboo is sustainable, and it's all natural. Definitely something to think over. Maybe I'll get a stainless for food and a bamboo for water.

<p>I'm not sure of pros and cons.. I can tell you I got them because they were on sale, they are sustainable, light, dishwasher safe, and as far as I can tell they are just made from bamboo placed under extreme pressure and heat so not a lot of chemical leaching into food (I hope) I looked at the metal ones but they had that reallly stinky rubber ring and smell to them that I wouldn't want to eat out of.

<p>Anyway so far they work just fine and I haven't had any problems. I also feed freeze dried raw and raw food so sanitation is a concern and these seem to clean up nicely, which I was a little worried that they might become slightly porous and harbor bacteria but I don't believe that is happening, they still look and feel brand new</p>
<p>ps: doing a google search I see there is a type of bowl branded bamboo with plastic liners? thats not what I am using, the bowl itself is made out of Bamboo, its the planet petco brand but I know there are others of this type as well.</p> How are the bamboo ones?

How are the bamboo ones? So far, the majority favors stainless with ceramic coming in a close second and then plastic. I think you're the first poster to say you're using a bamboo bowl. Do you like them? Pros? Cons?

<p>Ramsey uses white ceramic with "Water" and "food" printed on the inside. Just so I don't get confused.</p>
