Neater Pet Brands Hammered Copper Large Dog Bowl – Stainless Steel, Non-Skid, 64 oz
Neater Pet Brands Hammered Copper Large Dog Bowl – Stainless Steel, Non-Skid, 64 oz
This large dog bowl from Neater Pet Brands holds up to 64 ounces (8 cups) of food or water, making it a practical choice for medium to large dog breeds. The bowl features a lacquered copper exterior with a hammered finish that adds a decorative touch to your home, while the interior is stainless steel for a clean and odor-resistant eating surface. Rubber dots on the bottom help keep the bowl in place during meals, reducing spills and messes.
What makes the copper finish stand out?
The outer layer is finished with a copper lacquer that gives the bowl a warm, reflective look. The hammered texture hides minor scratches and adds visual interest. Because the copper is lacquered, hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish—dishwasher use may dull the appearance over time.
Stainless steel interior for healthier meals
Stainless steel is non-porous, so it doesn't absorb odors or harbor bacteria like some plastic or ceramic bowls can. It’s also dishwasher-safe (though hand washing is recommended for the exterior), and won't chip or crack if dropped. Dogs often prefer the taste of food and water served in stainless steel because it doesn't impart any flavors.
Hammered design and durability
The exterior hammered pattern is not just for looks—it also provides a better grip when you pick up the bowl. The bowl is lightweight at only 6.38 ounces, making it easy to carry even when full. Despite its light weight, the stainless steel interior and copper exterior are robust enough for daily use with multiple pets.
Non-skid base for mess-free feeding
Three rubber dots on the bottom prevent the bowl from sliding across smooth floors when your dog eats or drinks. This is especially useful for enthusiastic eaters who tend to push their bowls around. The non-skid feature also helps reduce the chance of tipping, although the bowl’s wide base (8 inches in diameter) already offers good stability.
Who is this bowl best for?
This bowl suits dogs that need up to 8 cups of food per meal, such as large breeds like Labradors, Golden Retrievers, or German Shepherds. It can also hold water for multiple pets throughout the day. The copper finish complements modern, rustic, or traditional kitchens, making it a stylish addition to your feeding area.

Frequently asked questions
Is this bowl safe for puppies?
Yes, the bowl is safe for all life stages. However, for very small puppies, the 2.76-inch height might be a bit tall; consider a smaller size if needed. For large breed puppies, it works well as they grow.
Can the bowl be used outdoors?
The manufacturer does not specify outdoor use. The copper lacquer may be affected by weather, so it’s best kept indoors or in sheltered areas.
Will the copper finish tarnish?
Because the copper is lacquered, it won't tarnish like raw copper. However, if the lacquer is scratched or worn, the exposed copper may tarnish over time. Proper hand washing helps maintain the coating.
Is this bowl suitable for cats?
Yes, although the 8-cup capacity is large for a single cat, the bowl can be used for multiple cats or as a water source. The copper and stainless steel materials are safe for cats as well.
