A criss-cross geometric in blue is a quieter thing to have on your kitchen floor than most dog bowls manage. Where the rest of this range goes bright, this one goes graphic: a repeating stitched-looking pattern that reads as a piece of tableware rather than pet kit, which counts for something when the bowl lives permanently in the corner of an open-plan room you also eat in.

Underneath the pattern it is the same sensible construction as the rest. BPA-free melamine, food-safe, and hard enough to resist the chips and scratches that dull a cheaper bowl within a year. It weighs 400g, so it stays roughly where you put it, and the silicone ring on the base deals with the sliding. Being dishwasher safe means it gets washed properly and often, which is worth doing, since a bowl left to build up a film is one of the grubbier objects in most kitchens.

We cannot give you a diameter for this one. Tarhong publish a weight for the Shishiko bowl but no dimensions, and we would rather say so than repeat a number from another listing and hope it holds. It weighs the same as their 17cm bowl, which is a clue rather than a guarantee, so message us and we will measure the one on our shelf. As with the whole range, it stays out of the microwave.

Who it's for: Owners who would rather the bowl disappeared into the kitchen than announced itself, and dogs of any size once you have checked the fit.
