Is this bowl big enough for a large dog?

It holds 32 oz, or 4 cups, per bowl. That is a full meal or a good water serving for a medium to large dog; giant breeds may need a larger bowl or a refill.

Will it slide or scratch my hardwood floor?

The silicone base is made to grip the floor and dampen the sliding and clattering sound of mealtimes. Lift the bowl rather than dragging it to avoid grit scratching the floor.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

Yes. The stainless bowl and the removable silicone base are dishwasher-safe. Take the base off so food and water can drain from both parts.

Does stainless steel keep the bowl from smelling?

Stainless steel does not absorb odors the way plastic can, and it resists rust and dents. Rinse and dry it after wet food to keep it fresh.

Is it good for wet food and water?

Yes, the same bowl works for water, dry food, wet food or treats. Use separate bowls if you feed and water at the same time.

How does it compare with a plastic bowl?

It is heavier and more durable, resists chewing and dents, and does not hold smells. The trade-off is that it is not as quiet if dropped and can be cold or noisy on hard floors without the base.
