Posh Paws stainless steel dishes
Posh Paws make heavy-gauge stainless steel dishes with a colourful enamel finish and a rubber non-slip rim, sized properly by species rather than one bowl relabelled for every animal — a dog dish, a 240ml cat dish, and a 350ml dish for rabbits and guinea pigs.
Why steel over plastic or ceramic
Stainless steel doesn't hold odour or scratch the way plastic can over time, and small scratches in a plastic bowl are exactly where bacteria and residue can build up unseen. Some owners choose steel over plastic partly for this reason, and partly because a scratched surface is sometimes linked to skin irritation around a cat's chin, though the evidence for that specific link is mixed rather than settled.
All of Posh Paws' dishes are dishwasher safe, which matters for a bowl that's washed daily — steel handles that far better long-term than a bowl that can warp or discolour in a dishwasher.
Sized for the animal, not just relabelled
The Posh Paws Stainless Steel Cat Dish holds 240ml, appropriately sized and shallow for a cat's smaller, whisker-sensitive feeding style, while the Bunny Dish holds 350ml and is built for rabbits and guinea pigs specifically. The dog dish is a heavier-gauge bowl in the range's colourful enamel finish, built for a dog's more robust day-to-day use.
A rubber rim on each size helps stop the bowl skidding across the floor during eager eating, and reduces the noise of a metal bowl on a hard kitchen floor compared with a rim-free steel dish.
What's actually in the range
Alongside the dog, cat and bunny dishes, a neutral-finish dish is available without the colourful enamel pattern, for anyone who'd rather a plain steel bowl than a decorated one, since the material and construction are the same either way.
Because every size shares the same rubber-rimmed, dishwasher-safe construction, a household with more than one type of pet can buy the whole feeding set from one range rather than mixing brands and materials across a dog bowl, a cat dish and a hutch dish.

Common questions
- Is stainless steel actually safer than plastic for feeding?
- It's more hygienic in one specific way — steel doesn't scratch the way plastic does, so there's nowhere for bacteria to hide in worn grooves. Some owners also link plastic bowls to chin irritation in cats, though that connection is debated rather than proven.
- Will the rubber rim wear out over time?
- It can eventually, especially with a dishwasher used daily over a long period, so check the rim periodically and replace the bowl if it starts to lift or perish rather than continuing to use one with a failing seal.
- Can I put a Posh Paws dish in the dishwasher?
- Yes — all sizes in the range are described as dishwasher safe, which is one of the main practical advantages over some plastic bowls that can warp with heat over repeated washes.
- Is the 350ml bunny dish suitable for a guinea pig too?
- Yes — it's sized and marketed for both rabbits and guinea pigs, since the two are close enough in typical feeding needs to share the same dish size.
