living with three dogs, two of whom are competitive eaters, i have tried many bowls through the years, and most recently went back to plain stainless bowls which are loud and migrate through the kitchen with each nudge and mouthful devoured. until now! these basecamp bowls are amazing. so solid, so quiet, so steadfast! it literally is like someone turned down the dinner time sound from 11 to 1, which i think also has to be better for the dogs. highly recommend.
