All stainless steel is not safe for your pets. There are many grades of stainless steel.
The cheaper stainless uses recyled metals that will leach toxins in the water and shorten the life of your beloved pets. (Especially those that are imported.) The cheaper the product the lower the grade. There are NO USA regulations for imports on pet products.
PROTECTS SMALL CHILDREN:
The "Buddy Bowl" also acts as a child-proofing aid. They may still be able to splash around a little bit, as small hands do, but you do not have a swamp in your house. Also prevents accidential drownings as they cannot go face first down in the water.
(Protects floors, nomore wet socks!)
The "BuddyBowl" works for Small, Medium, & Large Dogs and Full-grown Cats.
