A dog that pushes their bowl around the kitchen floor is not being difficult. They are chasing food up a slope, and the answer is almost always weight rather than a rubber ring — a bowl that does not move is a bowl the dog can lean into.

This is stoneware, which is where the weight comes from, in Mason Cash's Woof design: a matt upper section over a natural-look base and text, done in a wax resist finish. The shape is angled rather than straight-sided, which Mason Cash say makes eating more comfortable. It measures 20cm across by 6.7cm high and holds 1.3 litres, and it is dishwasher safe.

• 20cm diameter x 6.7cm height
• 1.3 litre capacity
• Durable stoneware
• Dishwasher safe
• Angled bowl shape
• Wax resist finish, matt upper section

One thing worth knowing. Stoneware chips and stoneware breaks, and Mason Cash publish nothing about drop resistance, so treat it as kitchenware rather than as outdoor kit. The only weight figure we have is the 0.42kg parcel weight, which includes the packaging — the bowl's own weight is not published, and on a bowl bought for being heavy that is the number you would most want.

Who it's for: owners of a medium or large dog who have got tired of chasing a stainless bowl across the tiles, and anyone who wants the bowl to look like it belongs in the kitchen.
