Heavy Dog Bowls That Stay Put for Large Breeds

Big dogs need big solutions, especially at mealtime. Our range of heavy dog bowls is designed specifically for large breeds and enthusiastic eaters who tend to nudge, tip or slide their bowls. These bowls stay firmly in place, helping to reduce mess, frustration, and the risk of accidents during feeding.

At The Vet Shed, you’ll find a wide selection of:

  • Weighted Dog Bowls – Built from stainless steel, ceramic or thick plastic with added weight for maximum stability.
  • Non-Slip Bowls – Rubber bases or anti-skid designs that grip to surfaces, ideal for tiled or wooden floors.
  • Anti-Tip Dog Bowls – Wide-base and low-profile shapes that are harder to knock over during feeding.
  • Extra-Large Dog Bowls – Generous capacity for breeds with big appetites or those on raw diets.

These bowls are perfect for Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Great Danes, and other large breeds. With top brands like KONG, Petsafe, Zeez, and more, you can trust you’re getting quality and durability in every bowl.

FAQs About Heavy Dog Bowls

Why choose a heavy dog bowl for large dogs?

Heavy dog bowls help prevent tipping, sliding, and spillage. They’re ideal for large breeds that eat enthusiastically or push their bowls around.

What materials are best for heavy bowls?

Stainless steel and ceramic bowls are common for their weight and durability. Look for bowls with rubber bases or extra-wide bottoms for stability.

Can I use these bowls outdoors?

Yes. Most heavy-duty bowls are weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. Just ensure they are placed on a flat surface to stay stable.

What size bowl should I choose for a large dog?

Choose a bowl with a large capacity - typically over 1 litre or designed for medium to giant breeds. If feeding raw or large meals, opt for deeper bowls.

Do these bowls help with mess control?

Yes. The weight and non-slip base help minimise sliding and spilling, keeping feeding areas cleaner and safer.
