How to Make Dog Bowls Out of China Bowls

When you bring your new pet dog home for the first time, you need to make sure you have all the supplies he needs. This includes a leash, collar, dog bed, food and of course, a food and water dish. While purchasing bowls that are made for dogs is the best option, you may need to provide a food and water dish for a dog without much notice. In these cases, you can use china bowls as dog bowls.

Instructions

    • 1

      Choose bowls that are an adequate size for your dog. Your dog should have access to clean, fresh drinking water all the time, so the water dish should be large enough to hold a generous amount. The food dish should be able to hold at least one serving.

    • 2

      Choose heavy china bowls that are heavy enough to remain stable as your dog eats or drinks from them.

    • 3

      Check the bowls carefully for scratches and chips. Even the tiniest scratch or chip could hurt your dog.

    • 4

      Choose a china bowl that hasn't been painted, especially on the inside. Cheap or toxic paint could hurt your dog if it chips off into his food or water.
