"Dogs are miracles with paws."

Attributed to Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy

Dogs are family. Because of our love of our pets, one of the very best gifts is a personalized pet feeding dish. All too often, dogs are often closer to us than many a family member. Our pet's unconditional love is truly a gift from God. Of all the blessings in my life, one of the greatest has been the love from my dogs. And of all the memorable events, presents and gifts from long time friends, great loves of my life, foreign travels, professional achievements, my favorite of of these great moments, is the unbridled joy given from my dog.

Purchasing a custom dog or pet feeding bowl has never been easier and the selection has never been wider. From stainless steel to the photos to the ceramic bowls to even the retriever bowl with the dog prize retrieval - a lobster of all things!

The choices are only limited by your imagination and time. Thankfully, many of these items are very reasonable in price. While we target the dog lover, cat lovers take heart, many of these great gifts apply to you too! From toy dogs to large dogs to the feline - all pets - the owners will appreciate the thought given to giving a personalized feeding dish.

Where possible, I have given a sample price. Obviously, shipping and imprinting may be more so shop carefully. Most of all, shop early to shop frugally. Don't panic, there are plenty of choices. Allow plenty of time and you won't be paying extra for rush shipment.

Pros and Cons of Types of Feeding Dish Materials

Some dogs are dainty eaters. Some dogs literally move the bowl all over the room. If you ever place bacon grease on your dogs' food, anticipate that dog dish to move and move often. My dogs would spend up to 10 minutes and return an hour later to make sure they didn't miss a precious drop of that great bacon grease.

If your dog moves the dish quite frequently, the ceramic feeding bowl may not be the best choice. This doesn't rule out this choice for a gift, just not for an every day dish. The stainless steel with the rubberized bottoms are great for the bacon grease toppings. The ceramic look much better in the kitchen on a daily basis. My recommendation is to have one of both. Variety is the spice of life. Hint: never place the ceramic bowl outside - it will move and it runs the high probability of becoming chipped.

Personalize As Much As Possible

When considering that gift, consider the location of the use. As I mentioned the ceramic bowls are beautiful but may not be the best choice for dogs that actively move their dishes. A run or placement underneath helps tremendously.

For my best friend, her new kitchen has a dark slate tile. Her dog is a large black lab who is similar in nature to my retrievers, the feeding dish will walk - you can expect it. So a stainless steel dish with her dogs' name works perfectly.

For a more dainty feeder or a toy dog, the ceramic dish is ideal.

Personalize as much as you can. Check out the photo and text dishes. Also the dish with the insert a photo is practical and very versatile.

Why A Dog Gift?  Because We Define Ourselves By Our Dogs

A personalized gift for a loved one's pet is a great gift because we define ourselves by our pets.  Oprah Winfrey's quote below is a perfect reflection of an animal owner.  We live and breath for our pets, often we take on their personalty.  If we raise an animal from a kitten or a pup, that animal will take on our own personality traits.  They say people look like their pets - I think we choose our pets for our own personal desire and standard of beauty.

This is the ceramic dish where the labador retriever has brought you a great catch of the day - a lobster! Hand painted from Maine Retriever Dog Dishes. The lobster toting retriever is not included. The dish has decorative bones around the side.

ASPCA

The intelligence of a Poodle and the loyalty of a Lassie. The bark of a Shepherd and the heart of a Saint Bernard. The spots of a Dalmatian, the size of a Schnauzer, and the speed of a Greyhound. A genuine, All-American Mutt has it all.

ASPCA slogan

My name is Oprah Winfrey. I have a talk show. I'm single. I have eight dogs — five golden retrievers, two black labs, and a mongrel. I have four years of college.

Oprah Winfrey, when asked to describe herself during jury selection

Ay, in the catalogue ye go for men;
As hounds, and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs,

Shoughs, water-rugs, and demi-wolves, are 'clept

All by the name of dogs: the valued file
Distinguishes the swift, the slow, the subtle,
The housekeeper, the hunter, every one
According to the gift which bounteous nature
Hath in him closed.

William Shakespeare, Macbeth
