As a French Bulldog owner, you should want the best for your French Bulldog. This goes from buying comfortable beds, quality toys, and French Bulldog food down to their food bowls. You should know that your furry friend deserves the best and nothing less. The big question is, how much effort have you put to ensure that your French Bulldog feeder is safe for your French Bulldog?
Many French Bulldog owners use plastic bowls as a feeder for their dogs because it is inexpensive and convenient for use. However, plastic bowls are not healthy for dogs and should not be recommended for the home. This is because plastics are prone to be chewed or scratched by your dog, thereby creating room for harboring bacteria. As much as you would want to clean the bowl thoroughly, it will not be possible to keep the germs away.
Dogs can develop severe allergy to the plastics and stand the risk of chewing and ingesting small pieces of plastics that could build up over time, which would likely cause indigestion or severe health condition such as acne or irritation around the muzzle. Furthermore, plastic bowls contain BPA and Phthalate. BPA, on the one hand, is a chemical that disrupts the endocrine system when digested, it is capable of disrupting the normal functioning of your Frenchie’s brain, among other kinds of issues. On the other hand, Phthalate is a solvent used in making plastic products more flexible, also not healthy for ingestion by any means.
So, if you should not use plastic bowls to feed your Frenchie, what kind of feeding bowl do we advise?
