***Updates are located at bottom of review.******Original Review***I recently discovered that stainless steel bowls are some of the better bowls for pets since they resist bacteria, unlike plastic bowls. I had been using plastic bowls for a number of years for our cat but as soon as I heard this, I immediately began searching for some good, but inexpensive stainless steel bowls. There are a number of choices and brands available on Amazon but this is one that got good reviews, was fairly inexpensive, and has a cool design on it so I ordered this one, along with the same bowl in the Valentine red heart design.As soon as they arrived, I washed them up and began using them, along with tossing the old, plastic bowls in the garbage. The bowls seem to be well-constructed and made of good-quality material. I ordered the small size bowls and they are approximately 5 1/2" in diameter and are almost 2" high. They actually hold quite a bit of water and I've noticed that my cat drinks more water now than she did with her old bowls! I use a pet feeder for her food so I've only used these bowls for water and canned cat food but so far, I'm very pleased. They also wash up nicely. The bottom has a removable rubber ring so you can throw it in the dishwasher but I prefer to handwash them and I've had absolutely no problems. The design looks as good as new and I liked these bowls so much that I also ordered the same bowl in the argyle pink design so now I have three of these bowls! The rubber rings on the bottom prevent the bowls from sliding across the floor and so far, they have worked well for us.One thing some reviewers mentioned is they had problems removing the sticker that comes on the inside of the bowl. In all three of the bowls I received, I didn't have that problem and it seemed as though the edges of the stickers aren't pressed down a lot so, as long as I carefully pulled up the sticker, it all came off the bowl with no sticker residue left. Hopefully other people have the same luck that I did with these.Overall, I am very happy that I found these bowls because they are much safer for our cat, they are very affordable, come in pretty designs, and wash up nicely! As long as they continue to work well for us, I will buy more of these as needed and I definitely recommend these bowls to anyone with cats or small dogs. It's nice that they come in different sizes for all different sized animals!***Update 07/22/2016 - We've now been using these bowls for our cat for about six months and they still work great. We recently purchased a fourth bowl since it's nice to have several handy. They are very easy to clean too. We have hard water and every so often we get a bit of buildup (we handwash these bowls to maintain the designs). I just take the bottom ring off, put it in the dishwasher when this happens and the bowls come out almost as good as new! The designs haven't faded off at all by cleaning them this way. I still recommend these bowl because they are very affordable, easy to clean, and come in a variety of designs!

These are so cute! Great quality!

I bought 3 of these (I have 3 cats) because I wanted to see the size. 1/2 pint seemed small to me. I got the bowls. The size is perfect for a cat. About an inch wider than can of tuna. They are a nice weight with a rubber bottom. Supposedly I can remove the rubber bottom and put these in the dishwasher but I am afraid that if I pry the bottom off I can't get it back on. I hand wash these instead. I love the outside of these bowls. Just what I was looking for and does not look like it will flake off or fade over time. They stack real nice. I had 21 oval porcelain cat bowls in various stages of chipped that took up a whole drawer of storage. I bought 15 more of these and threw away the chipped cat bowls. Since I now have 2 small stacks of bowls I have space in my drawer for other things. I've seen these bowls for as much as $23 each. This is the best price I have seen.After having these for several months, I noticed that when the bowl gets wet (or cleaned) that the painted fish motives also becomes wet and will smear. I hand wash these ( I have 21) and let them air dry. I would venture to say they are not dishwasher safe. If I stack them before they are completely dry, the paint comes off and sticks on the inside of the stacked bowl. I can easily get the paint off with a scrubbing pad but it does concern me that the paint might have lead or be otherwise unsafe. As these are food bowls. I make sure there is none of the paint on the inside of the bowl. On the other hand, the little fish smear but it would take some effort to get the paint completely off without possibly taking the blue enamel off the bowl.I still like the way these stack, and they take little room for a whole weeks worth of bowls for my cats. I am disappointed that the cute little fish pattern now looks like whitish globs on the bowls and remain sticky to the touch but I would buy these again. You cannot be careful enough to keep the fishes intact.

This bowl is excellent and more than worth the extremely low price. It is much larger than expected and would be suitable for even a small dog, though I am using it for my cats. The inside is lined with stainless steel and thus prevents any allergic reactions that cats may experience with plastic, while the outside consists of textured plastic that is pleasing to the touch. The rubber rings along the bottom of the bowl provide traction and make it an excellent standalone feeding dish. This makes it a great option for those who provide water separately/use a pet fountain, which is preferred by most cats.Another plus is that the company makes these bowls in many different adorable patterns and colors, all at very fair prices. I would highly recommended these as a cheap option for multi-cat households, where the dirty food bowls can pile up quickly and amassing a small collection could be very helpful in a pinch.

I finally decided to order new dishes for our dog and I'm SO pleased with these bowls. The non-skid grip on the bottom is most appreciated by our dog as his dish no longer runs away from him. The color is just as depicted on the screen - a truly lovely shade, very vibrant (we ordered it in turquoise). As for other posters indicating they had issues with the stickers coming off, I had no such issues. I peeled slowly and no residue was left behind on the dishes. I read that the designs wash off after time, and while I have not had this problem to date, I have decided to hand wash to prevent wear (though they are dishwasher safe!). And truthfully, if the design wears off (not that I feel it will), I'm satisfied enough with the color and durability of the bowls that I wouldn't make a fuss. But again, I've had no signs of premature wearing to date. The price I paid was far less than I've found in stores and it is a quality product. So, what are you waiting for? Update those old bowls!

I like the size and sturdiness of the bowl. Also it is cute.
