Hi,
My toy breed puppy is starting to grow long hair on her ears, and is dragging them into her food bowl.  Can anyone recommend a website where I can find a good bowl for long eared dogs?  I prefer plastic, but a metal bowl would be ok as well.  Thanks.

My recommendation would be to get your pup a snood. I have a Sussex Spaniel and even with a "spaniel" bowl her ears still managed to get food attached to them. Just put the snood on before each meal and remove afterwards.

Hmm, not sure how keen she'd be on wearing a snood, although it's a great suggestion!  Thanks.

I suppose it depends how foodie she is. It doesn't bother Winnie at all!

Plastic ones here.  You can also raise the bowl a little to change the angle of the ears when eating, feed a dry 'non stick' food, or just learn to enjoy picking crusty bits off her ears when she falls asleep on you!  We used to have a cat when we were children that would suck our dogs ears - mutually satisfying it seems :)

Hello Miranda, Barjo do a good 'spaniel bowl' which has a removable lid with hole, stops ears from going into everything and great for travelling. See anti-splash bowl, £4.25 + VAT

I feed my Cavaliers from non slip plastic bowls from Pets at Home sort of bronzy coloured with rubber bottoms - great for slidey kitchen floors. They are fairly narrow but quite deep and I use a tallish but narrow ceramic waterbowl- enough for face to get in but not so big that ears go in too - I think it was what some pate came in. All the cavs ears keep clean with this regime and I have some very long ears.
My big dog bowls are the standard S.Steel and each breed sticks to their own.
