Durapet Premium Stainless Steel dish and bowls are highly durable with a lifetime guarantee. Each bowl includes a permanently bonded rubber ring on the bottom to resist sliding and making noise on hard floor surfaces.
Strangest thing, I found consistently when the cats are fed from this stainless steel dish they clean the bowl eat every last morsel, but with plastic dishes they always leave varying amounts of food in the dish to dry out and won't eat it. Even my little dog chihuahua mix likes this tiny bowl, a great size for cats and tiny dogs. I have read plastic bowls retain a scent after a while where stainless steel bowls or ceramic ones do not. We can not smell a lingering scent but our cats and especially dogs certainly can. This may be why they suddenly finish all the food when this bowl is used. I need to replace all my old plastic bowls with these kind.
We love these bowls for our dogs. They are a good size, durable, easy to clean, and best of all, don't move all over the place due to the rubber on the bottom. We have quite a few sizes and they are good for food as well as water.
I bought 3 bowls for my dogs to use in our camper because until then their food and water would get spilled because of the small room we have to walk around in the kitchen area. The rubber bottom ring keeps it from spilling when they are accidentally kicked. They also are easily cleaned and are made with quality in mind. Very pleased!
I purchased these to replace the plastic bowls I had because I read that plastic bowls could iritate feline acne. One of my girls has an issue with that. I really like these, they are heavy duty and the rubber bottom keeps them in place. I was afraid they didn't hold enough food at first, but they work fine for my 3 little pigs (all cats of course).
I have 3 cats that can't keep their paws outta the water bowl. They just turned 3 and have always used a bottle (like hamsters) to drink out of because they always spilled the water bowl over. I read the description and reviews about how these bowls don't slide around on the floor, and that's good. But i really wanted to know if they are weighted at all, because if not then my kitties will spill it over.

I say no, not tippable. My cats do the same thing with the water, they have one of my Pyrex bowls, otherwise I'm sure they would spill. These food bowls really do stay in place well, much heavier than other bowls and won't slide.
Thanks for your question, Trish. While the Durapet bowls are not actually weighted at the bottom, they are made of the highest quality, heavy stainless steel which makes them less likely to be easily tipped over. I use these for my own cats, and these bowls are noticably heavier than other stainless steel bowls. Of course, any bowl can eventually be tipped over by a determined kitty!
