Custom Ceramic Pet Bowls

We have been meaning to switch over to ceramic bowls for Piri for a while after we noticed that he sometimes hesitated to drink and eat out of his stainless steel bowls. We thought there were several reasons for this behavior, including possibly the bowls itself. So, we were thrilled to finally receive a package yesterday containing this custom ordered ceramic pet bowl from Sunshine Pottery & Ceramics.

I had placed the order back in December and patiently waited until it was ready to be shipped. Tracy of Sunshine Pottery & Ceramics is based in Canada and she hand makes each bowl, which takes up to 5-6 weeks to make. We placed our order during probably what is one of the busiest times, Christmas, and so I think our order took a teeny bit longer. Since we were ordering from the states, the shipping cost was expensive but after browsing a while on Etsy, we liked Tracy's bowls the best and didn't mind at all the cost and time frame for the hand made item to be finalized.

We got the 7-inch bowl which seemed to be the right size for our dog and his meals. Piri ate from it last night and I only regret not getting it for him sooner. He'll now be enjoying his morning and evening wet food meals and his afternoon steamed sweet potato snack from his new snazzy bowl. We picked up another ceramic bowl for his water at a local pet store, too.

Oh, there are bowls for cat lovers too --  here and here!
