Our Icon Range has a modern look with paw print embossments for food and wave embossments indicating water. The neutral tones of cream and light grey blend effortlessly into all modern or vintage homes. Dogs tongues curl backwards when drinking, lifting water into their mouths like a ladle. Many pet owners think that food bowls can be used as water bowls, but low sided drinking bowls dont provide the depth needed for dogs to curl their tongues back with comfort, which is why we gave our water bowls the height that they need. Each bowl is made from heavy stoneware and are dishwasher and microwave safe.
