GCVOPTON Stainless Steel Cat Bowl, 4 pcs, 5.5 inch, shallow

This stainless steel cat bowl set brings four shallow dishes, each 5.5" (13.97 cm) across the top and 1.2" (3.05 cm) tall. The low, wide shape holds dry kibble, wet food, treats or water, and the four bowls suit a household feeding several cats. Each bowl weighs 64 g and is made of 304 food-grade stainless steel.

Getting the bowls ready and keeping them clean

One preparation step is given by the brand ahead of the first meal: wash the bowl once, after warming it using white vinegar. After that vinegar wash, hot water should be used to rinse the bowl, and then the inside and outside need drying before use. Day to day, a bowl can be washed directly or placed in the dishwasher.

What reviewers mention about the size and shape

Several reviewers mention that the bowl is a good size for cats, and three comment on the shallow, wide shape. Four reviewers describe the bowls as easy to clean and wash. Two note that the bowl is lightweight, and two say it fits an existing raised feeder.

Does this bowl suit your cat?

Sizing is the main check: the brand lists these bowls for small dogs, cats or kittens, so a large dog is not the intended user. The top measures 5.5" (13.97 cm) and the base 3.8" (9.65 cm), which tells you the footprint on the floor; the depth is 1.2" (3.05 cm). For kittens, the bowls can be paired with silicone pet pads that are not included, and for adult cats with a raised pet bowl stand, also not included. If you need either accessory, plan to buy it separately.
