Glazed Cat Bowls

From LoveToKnow Cats

Providing glazed cat bowls is just another festive way of dressing up kitty's dinner time. Gone are the days of boring red and blue plastic feeding dishes.

Make every feeding pretty!

In recent decades, the cavalcade of publicity garnered by celebrity pets has led the pet industry to expand, update and personalize merchandise for animals. Now your cat can truly dine like a king, or at least like an upscale human, with the latest glossy and glazed pet bowls.

What Are Glazed Cat Bowls Anyway?

The term "glazed" refers to the outer finish given to many ceramic pet food dishes. Glazes are usually quite colorful, and they make it possible to impart long lasting designs to the dishes. A glazed bowl isn't necessarily expensive either. In fact, you can pick up fairly ordinary designs from places like PetSmart for an easy three dollars.

Advantages

The most obvious advantage to glazed pet bowls is their smooth surfaces. Unglazed ceramic or stoneware dishes can easily trap small particles of food along their rough exteriors, thereby encouraging the breeding of harmful bacteria. Glazed bowls provide a sleek, even surface that makes cleaning so much simpler!

Lead Hazards

When you're purchasing a glazed pet bowl, it is very important to inquire if the glaze that was used contains lead or any other toxic heavy metals. Heavy metals can be severely damaging to your pet, causing neurological problems as well as other health concerns over time.

However, because these bowls are used for feeding, most glazed cat bowls are free of lead and other heavy metals. Still, be cautious when purchasing from a vendor that does not disclose such information. If nothing can be found on the packaging regarding this issue, feel free to contact the store manager who may be able to retrieve information from the manufacturer.

When in doubt, don't make the purchase. It's far better to delay your shopping until you can find bowls that are guaranteed lead-free rather than risk your furry friend's health.

Feeding Kitty in Style

Now that you've learned the essential details of glazing, it's time to research these fun products and give your kitty the posh mealtime ambience he or she deserves. Even pet owners can benefit from aesthetically pleasing feeding bowls since they be chosen to emphasize and complement your décor while they also provide attractive conversation pieces for covetous neighbors.

As you explore your luxury options, keep in mind that there has always been a larger market for dog dishes rather than cat bowls. Luckily, many items designed for dogs easily double as cat products.
