Designer Dog Dishes!

I've have a bone to pick. It drives me a bit nuts when I am visiting a beautiful home and there are hideous dog dishes lurking out in the open.  Especially in the kitchen! When I renovated my kitchen, I considered integrating them into a bottom cabinet. Out of the way and out of sight.  In the end,  my kitchen just wasn't large enough to justify giving up storage space. I am seeing this trend more and more. I would definitely suggest it to a client if space allowed.

Thankfully, there are some fantastic web sites offering super attractive dishes for inside and outside! So whether your poochy dines in the kitchen, laundry/mud room, or on the patio...there is an attractive option.  I think it's worth the splurge to try and buy dishes that are in keeping with the style of the room they occupy space in. Mine are raised iron and are kept in the laundry room.  And, now after doing research for this post my favorite may need a dish set for the deck too!!!

Doggy dining never looked so good...

  3. I hadn't wanted to let anyone know I was actually considering the "English Garden" feeders, but I see now that I am in good company! However, I now like the "French Fleur de Lys" feeders better.

    Thanks for allowing me to come out in the open ;)

  5. These are all really good looking, but Henry, at 30" tall has to have his bowl at about 18" off the floor...there isn't anything at that size that's going to look good. Another quirk to having a giant dog! He's really sweet though!

  9. Cute post. My mom had pull out cabinets built into their kitchen for the dog food containers...we all made fun of her but it really is quite practical (especially b/c they had a huge lab at the time and now have a shepherd....lots of food)! Our house lists a week from Thursday....perhaps my laundry room needs a prettier dog bowl, stat!

  12. Too cute! Although our dog bowls are nice, I think our little Lucy (especially in her old age), would love something a bit more off the ground!

  15. I need some pretty dog dishes. They just look so out of place in our room. I can't seem to find anything simple enough.

  18. I so wish I had pretty dog bowls like that. My dog has a weird habit...she likes to eat a little bit in the kitchen, then she carries her bowl around to other rooms and eats a little bit in each room. Now my new little chihuahua rescue has taken up her weird habit to carry her bowl around. So I'm stuck with chew friendly plastic bowls. But it's great entertainment to watch them.

  20. These make me laugh. When my nieces' dog comes for a visit, I use a dollar dog bowl from IKEA.

  21. Jill & Carmie,
    So funny! Sometimes we just have to surrender to the fact that the dog or the circumstance make the choice for us!
