When I first got Elli, I didn't know which dishes were best for her. So for awhile she was just using small plastic tupperware bowls for her food and water. They worked okay, until she became scared of them. Now, of course she dines out of Royal Doulton ceramic dishes.
I recently read some research that suggests dogs and cats can develop acne from eating and drinking out of their plastic dishes. Plastic attracts bacteria, especially once it starts to get scratched up. Some pets can have an allergic reaction to plastic surfaces. Often people don't clean their pet's dishes as frequently as they should. It's recommended that glass, metal or ceramic is used for pet dishes. And, daily washing will also help prevent bacteria.
