Hi there, i have almost got everything i need for our new arrival, however i am finding it difficult to find stainless steel feeding bowls for Cocker Spaniels, the type that stop their ears getting full of food, could anyone help me out with this. Thanks

We got a ceramic spaniel bowl from Jolleys for Molo's water - he can tip over a stainless steel one  :rolleyes:

Molo is on a complete dry food - so we don't have to worry about his ears in his food - to be honest, he eats it so quick, there'd be no time for his ears to get dirty  :lol:

There are some Here - about 1/3 of the way down the page  :) .  I feed dry food as well - so don't need a spaniel bowl for food.  I have a ceramic one for water, as it's heavier - you may find that your pup will, at some point, discover that he can pick up his water bowl and carrying it around with him - both mine did this when we were on holiday and using a travel bowl  ;)  :D

For the early days you may be better off with just ordinary shallow puppy dishes. Spaniel dishes are very deep and the small amounts of food they are fed at that age, he may have trouble reaching it
