The bowls you like, how you bring food to your dogs, and how you clean your bowls, and how often you feed. I don't care what you feed, that is discussed often enough, but how it is done I have not seen discussed much yet. Stainless steel bowls are the best..........easy to keep clean. I wash them in the big laudry tub in the kennel with dish soap after feeding, hot water rinse. Have always fed 2 times a day. With a breed prone to bloat and torsion issues I just feel more comfortable not putting a huge meal in the gut all at once. All but a couple of my dogs are fed in their outside kennels. Have 2 higher energy that I feed in inside crates so they are still after eating.
