Cat Plastic Bowls

Plastic bowls are light, inexpensive and available in every shape and colour, which makes them the practical choice for travel, spares and second feeding stations. The one rule is to replace them once the surface scratches. Pet Corner Dubai stocks plastic cat bowls from Petmate, Petsafe, M-Pets and Vadigran.

What makes our cat plastic bowl range stand out

1. Food-grade BPA-free plastic

Everything in the range is made for food contact, which is not true of every cheap bowl on the market.

2. Shallow, whisker-friendly shapes

Wide low profiles let a cat eat without the whiskers touching the sides, which is the commonest reason a cat pushes food out of a bowl.

3. Non-slip bases

Plastic is light and slides on tile. Rubber feet or a weighted rim keep the bowl still while your cat eats.

4. Light enough for travel and second stations

Useful for the car, the carrier, a holiday home or simply a second water point in another room, which is one of the easiest ways to raise a cat water intake.

Frequently asked questions

Are plastic bowls bad for cats?

A new, smooth plastic bowl is fine. The problem is wear: scratches trap bacteria and oils that washing cannot reach, and that is strongly linked to feline chin acne. If you use plastic, replace the bowl as soon as the surface is visibly scratched rather than waiting for it to break.

How often should I replace a plastic bowl?

Every six to twelve months with daily use, or immediately if you can feel scratches with a fingernail or see staining that will not wash out.

My cat has black specks on its chin. Is the bowl to blame?

Quite possibly. Feline acne is often traced to a scratched plastic bowl. Switch to stainless steel or ceramic, wash it daily, and see whether it clears. An inflamed or infected chin needs veterinary treatment rather than just a new bowl.

Can plastic bowls go in the dishwasher?

Most in this range can on the top rack, but repeated hot cycles accelerate surface crazing. Hand washing in warm soapy water extends their usable life considerably.
