A dog bowl sits on your kitchen floor every day of the year, which is a fair argument for buying one you actually like looking at. The Indigo colourway takes a Moroccan tile pattern and wraps it around the outside of a melamine bowl, so the decorative work is where you see it while the inside stays a plain, easy-to-wipe surface that food does not hide in.

Melamine is the sensible middle ground between ceramic and stainless steel. It will not shatter when a clumsy dog knocks it off a step the way stoneware does, it does not ring and skitter across tiles like a thin steel dish, and it holds printed pattern through repeated dishwasher cycles without fading. This one is BPA-free, weighs a little under 300g so it has some heft to it, and sits on a non-slip base.

• 14cm diameter, 295g
• BPA-free melamine, chip and scratch resistant
• Moroccan tile pattern in Indigo, printed around the outside
• Non-slip base to stop it skating at mealtimes
• Dishwasher safe
• Suitable for indoor or garden use

On sizing: 14cm is the diameter across the top, and this is a small bowl. It is right for a Cavalier, a Cockapoo or a terrier, and too small for a Labrador's dinner.

Who it's for: Small and medium dogs whose owners would rather the feeding corner did not look purely functional.
