Ancol Oatmeal Bowl – Stainless Steel Large

Ancol Oatmeal Stainless Steel Dog Bowl – Large, 770ml

A two-part bowl: a stainless steel dish holding 770ml, sitting in an oatmeal-coloured outer surround that stays on the floor on its non-slip base. The steel lifts straight out to be washed, which is the whole point of the design — no seam between dish and base for food to work its way into.

Stainless steel does not stain, hold smells or scratch up the way plastic does, and it takes a dishwasher cycle indefinitely. At 770ml this is the smaller of the two sizes Ancol make, which puts it with small and medium dogs; the 1620ml XLarge covers the big breeds.

Performance & Benefits

• 770ml stainless steel dish, removable from the outer bowl for cleaning.
• Stainless steel will not stain or hold food smells, and does not scratch like plastic.
• Non-slip base on the outer bowl keeps the whole thing planted on hard floors.
• Dishwasher safe.
• Neutral oatmeal colour rather than the usual bright pet plastic.
• Supplied in widely recycled packaging.

Suitable For

• Small and medium dogs on normal portions.
• Either food or water, indoors.
• Dogs on raw or wet diets, where a bowl that washes properly matters.
• Households wanting a steel dish without a steel look.
• Not enough capacity for large or giant breeds — the 1620ml XLarge version, or the Ancol Sage Stainless Steel Feeding Bowl at 2460ml, suits those better.

How to Use

• Sit the outer bowl on a level, hard floor and drop the steel dish into it.
• Lift the steel dish out to wash it after every meal, and rinse the outer bowl at the same time.
• Both parts are dishwasher safe.
• Dry the steel and the surround before reassembling, so water does not sit between them.

Specification

• Capacity 770ml. Removable stainless steel dish in an oatmeal-coloured outer bowl with a non-slip base.
• Dishwasher safe.
• Ancol product code 972000.
• Also made at 1620ml as the XLarge.
• Ancol publish no diameter, depth or weight for either size, and do not state what the outer bowl is moulded from, so none of that is given here.

Care & Caution

• Lift the steel dish out at every wash — food and water left underneath it turn sour quickly.
• Do not scour the steel with wire wool or abrasive pads; scratches give bacteria somewhere to sit.
• Check the rim of the steel dish for dents and sharp edges, and stop using it if the edge is damaged.
• Neither part is a chew toy. Lift the bowl between meals if your dog chews the rim.
