Finding the best dog bowl for your furry friend is important when it comes to spoiling — er, feeding and hydrating — them. Along with a dog harness, dog collar, dog bed and leash, a dog bowl should be one of the first things you buy. But it can be a bit overwhelming finding the right one, whether you’re shopping for older dogs or chow hounds or looking for a filtered water fountain if your pet prefers something a bit fancier.
To help, we tested 17 food and water bowls and divided them into three categories: regular food bowls, slow-feeder bowls and spillproof water bowls. We had a few different dogs try each bowl to see how they liked them, and we tested each bowl for ease of cleaning, spillage and overall aesthetics and sizing. After taking each bowl through many delicious tests, the winners of each category easily stood out.
Best dog harness: Non-Stop Dogwear Line Harness 5.0
While some dog harnesses are better for certain breeds and body types, if I could recommend one harness for any dog, it would be the Non-Stop Dogwear Line Harness 5.0. The reasons are quite simple, too. It has a versatile design that fits dogs like a dream, a huge sizing selection so you can buy a harness that actually fits the first time, an easy-to-put-on build and padded straps that keep your pup comfortable and supported.
Fit was the hardest thing to judge when I started testing these harnesses. Since dogs have all sorts of body types, a harness that fits well on a long dachshund probably won’t work for a French bulldog. However, the Line Harness looked great on every dog we tried. This is due to its smart and spacious design that uses minimal material, so your dog’s movement is never restricted.
My dogs, Miso and Dashi, are both very long but have deep chests, which means they’re extra susceptible to harnesses being too short. When harnesses don’t fit, the straps can rub on a dog’s armpit, limiting shoulder mobility and possibly causing irritation. This is obviously a bad thing, so I made sure to look at how much armpit clearance each harness offered. The option with the best clearance? The Non-Stop Dogwear Line.
When I put the harnesses on both my dogs, there was no rubbing, and they could move freely without any restrictions. My only issue with the fit is that the neck openings aren’t adjustable. If your dog has an extra-blocky head, it may be difficult to put the harness on, even if it fits perfectly on their chest.
