Feeding Equipment
The safest, easiest to clean containers for food and water are stainless steel or tempered glass
(e.g. Pyrex Glass Bakeware or Prepware) bowls. Unlike in plastic or ceramic bowls, there is no
risk of components leeching into the food, plastic causing skin irritation around the mouth, or
potential for lead and other chemical contamination - which is a concern with many items
manufactured in China and other developing countries with poor production standards.
Stainless steel and tempered glass are dishwasher safe and can withstand high temperatures for
thorough cleaning. Wash bowls frequently to remove adhering bits of food and saliva. I have
found it most convenient to keep at least one more bowl on hand than I feed meals per day, so I
can rotate them through the dishwasher and still have available that's clean.
