A standard feeding bowl is recommended in this case, or if you do periodic feedings, such as morning and evening. Stainless steel bowls are durable, longlasting and the easiest to sanitize, which is why they are the choice of veterinarians. Ceramic bowls are very durable and longlasting. Because they are very porous, it is critical that they be cleaned and sanitized daily. It is recommended that a cracked ceramic dish be replaced because it is more likely to harbor bacteria in the cracks.
Plastic bowls come in a variety of colors and are lightweight, unbreakable, and economical.
When considering bowls for your cat to eat and drink from, don't forget about a storage container if your cat eats dry kibble. Keeping the food in a container with a lid extends the life of the food, reduces the breakdown of vitamins, and maintains freshness. If your cat is a canned food lover, using a can cover will help keep the food fresher if you don't use the whole can at one feeding. All dishes should be washed with hot soapy water daily to avoid the growth of bacteria. A second set of dishes is always handy to use while the other one is being cleaned.
