Stainless are supposed to be best, but there was recently a recall on stainless bowls that were made with some radioactive metal, from China no less. Ceramic is next, but if the glaze becomes cracked, it can hold germs. Last, is plastic. It can cause a sensitivity reaction that causes the nose to lose pigment and it scratches relatively easily and those scratches can hold germs. I don’t much worry about germs with my dogs, but I’m not risking my dogs nose pigment.
