Kichwit 1.8 Gallon Extra Large Stainless Steel Dog Bowl – Dishwasher Safe, 14 x 10.5 x 4 Inches

This Kichwit stainless steel bowl holds 1.8 gallons (14 x 10.5 x 4 inches) of food or water, making it a practical choice for large breeds or multi-dog households. Made from food-grade stainless steel with a smooth, rolled edge, it resists rust and is safe for daily use. The bowl weighs just over a pound, stays in place during feeding, and can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

How does the size compare to standard dog bowls?

Most large dog bowls hold around 1 gallon or less. At 1.8 gallons, this bowl offers nearly double the capacity. Its 4-inch depth is enough for a full meal without splashing, while the 10.5-inch width accommodates dogs that like to spread their food. The flat, stable base reduces tipping on smooth floors.

Stainless steel material and build quality

The bowl is constructed from single-piece food-grade stainless steel. No seams or coatings means no hidden cracks for bacteria to hide. The rolled edge is smooth to the touch, so your dog won't scrape its chin or gums. The exterior stays cool to the touch and won't absorb odors or flavors. Weight is 1.08 pounds, heavy enough to resist sliding but still easy to lift for cleaning.

Specifications at a glance

Dishwasher safe and easy maintenance

After a messy meal, simply place the bowl in the dishwasher. The stainless steel can handle high heat and detergents without warping or discoloring. For hand washing, a quick scrub with mild soap removes even stuck-on food. The smooth surface doesn't trap residue, so it dries streak-free.

Who is this bowl for?

Designed for large dog breeds like German Shepherds, Labradors, Great Danes, and for homes with multiple dogs sharing a bowl. It also works for outdoor feeding stations, kennels, or as a water trough. The 1.8-gallon capacity means fewer refills during the day.
