What Customers Ask About Le Creuset Footed Pet Bowl
Is 380ml enough for a full meal or is this just for treats?
380ml is a functional meal size for cats or small to medium dogs. It holds approximately 150-200g of dry kibble or a standard portion of wet food. For larger dogs eating 400g+ per meal, this would be too small. For cats or dogs under 15kg, it's a suitable daily feeding portion. Also works well as a water bowl.
Does the raised design actually help pets or is it just aesthetic?
Raised bowls can help pets eat more comfortably by reducing the need to bend their necks down to floor level. This is particularly beneficial for older pets with arthritis or neck issues, and some owners find it helps reduce gulping and digestive discomfort. The 4cm height provides modest elevation - not dramatically raised but noticeably off the floor. Whether your pet benefits depends on their size, age, and individual needs.
Will the bowl stay put or does it slide around during feeding?
The wide base (13.8cm diameter) provides good stability and helps prevent tipping. However, stoneware on hard floors can still slide if pets push enthusiastically. The weight of the stoneware itself helps anchor it, but you may want to place it on a mat or textured surface if your pet is a vigorous eater. Once food is in the bowl, the added weight improves stability further.
Can I use this for water as well as food?
Yes, this bowl works equally well for water or food. The enamel coating doesn't absorb odours or flavours, and the 380ml capacity provides a reasonable water portion for cats or small dogs throughout the day. You may want two bowls - one for food and one for water - which also lets you coordinate colours if desired.
Is the bowl heavy enough that pets won't knock it over?
The stoneware construction makes it considerably heavier than plastic or lightweight ceramic bowls, which helps prevent tipping. However, determined or enthusiastic pets can still knock it over if empty. The wide base design improves stability. Most owners find it stays in place well during normal feeding, though large, boisterous dogs might still manage to move it.
How does this compare to standard plastic or metal pet bowls?
Stoneware offers better odour and stain resistance than plastic, which can absorb smells and discolour over time. It's heavier and more stable than both plastic and lightweight metal bowls. The enamel coating is easier to clean than scratched plastic. The main trade-offs are weight (not portable) and price (more expensive than basic bowls). For permanent home feeding stations where aesthetics and durability matter, stoneware has advantages.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all packaging and labels. Wash in hot soapy water or run through the dishwasher, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residue and prepares the bowl for feeding.
Daily feeding: The 380ml capacity suits portion sizes for cats or small to medium dogs. The raised design elevates food or water off the floor for more comfortable access. Fill to approximately 1cm below the rim to prevent spills. The wide base provides stability during feeding.
Placement: Position the bowl on a stable, level surface. For pets who push their bowls enthusiastically, consider placing on a textured mat to prevent sliding. The stoneware weight helps anchor it, but hard floors may allow some movement. Ensure the area is easily accessible for your pet's size and mobility.
For water: The bowl works equally well for water as food. Refresh water daily and clean the bowl regularly to prevent bacterial growth. The enamel coating doesn't absorb odours or affect water taste.
Daily cleaning: Dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. Wash after each use to maintain hygiene. For hand washing, use hot soapy water and a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. The scratch-resistant enamel coating releases food residue easily.
Removing stuck food: If dried food sticks to the bowl, soak in hot soapy water to loosen it before washing. The enamel coating cleans more easily than plastic bowls which can retain greasy residues. Avoid metal scourers which may scratch the surface over time.
Removing odours or stains: The enamel coating resists odour absorption, but if needed, wash with bicarbonate of soda and water. For stubborn stains, make a paste, apply, leave for 15 minutes, then rinse. The coating is considerably more odour-resistant than plastic pet bowls.
Storage: When not in use, ensure the bowl is completely clean and dry before storing. The stoneware can be stacked with other dishes if you have multiple bowls, though take care with the enamel coating.
Avoid: Don't use in microwave or oven. Avoid abrasive scourers which may damage the enamel coating. Don't use the bowl for human food after using it for pet food without thorough cleaning. Avoid dropping as stoneware can chip or crack if impacted.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after your pet has eaten from it. We've offered this guarantee since 1972.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally chip or break this bowl, we'll replace it at half the current retail price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos are acceptable. This covers accidental breakage but not damage from misuse. Contact us with your proof of purchase and we'll arrange the replacement.
What's covered by the Le Creuset 10-year guarantee?
Le Creuset's manufacturer's guarantee covers manufacturing defects for 10 years from date of purchase. This includes issues with the enamel coating, structural defects in the stoneware, or problems with the firing. It doesn't cover accidental damage, chips from dropping, misuse, or normal wear and tear. Keep your proof of purchase. Claims go through us, and we handle the process with Le Creuset on your behalf.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses takes up to 7 working days (usually 3-4) and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Can I choose which colour I receive?
Yes, you select your preferred colour when ordering. Available colours are Shell Pink, Meringue and Cerise. Availability may vary, so if your preferred colour is out of stock, contact us and we can advise on expected restock dates or suggest alternatives from the Le Creuset pet range.
Is this suitable as a gift for a pet owner?
Yes, this makes a thoughtful gift for pet owners who appreciate quality products. It's particularly suitable for people who've recently got a new pet, have older pets with mobility issues, or who enjoy coordinated homewares. The bowl comes in Le Creuset packaging. We can include gift receipts upon request. At £35.00 (RRP £39) it represents good value for a Le Creuset piece.
Should I buy two bowls - one for food and one for water?
Many pet owners prefer separate bowls for food and water to maintain hygiene and avoid cross-contamination. Having two bowls also lets you coordinate colours if desired, or mix colours from the Le Creuset range. Consider your pet's feeding routine and available space when deciding whether to purchase multiple bowls.
Will this work with your price match guarantee?
Yes. If you've seen this identical Le Creuset Footed Pet Bowl cheaper elsewhere, tell us where. If it's available with our competitor on the day you contact us, we'll match the price. The item must be identical (same size and colour) and the competitor must be a UK retailer with physical stores.
Is the raised height suitable for large dogs?
The 4cm raised height provides modest elevation suitable for cats and small to medium dogs. For large dogs (over 20kg), this bowl may still be too low to provide significant ergonomic benefit, and the 380ml capacity would be too small for their meal portions. Large dogs typically benefit from taller raised feeders with larger capacity bowls.
Do other Le Creuset pet products coordinate with this?
Le Creuset offers a range of pet accessories including the Pet Food Storage Jar in matching colours. The Shell Pink, Meringue and Cerise shades also appear across various Le Creuset kitchen ranges, so you can coordinate your pet bowls with your cookware if desired. Check our Le Creuset section for other available pieces.
