Boomer 8 Stainless Steel Non-Slip Dog Bowl (64 oz)

Food and water sit in bare stainless steel, and the bowl will outlast any plastic feeder. The only plastic-relevant part is the non-slip ring under the base.

1 / 10 Low plastic footprint $$$

A one-piece 18/8 stainless steel dog bowl that holds 8 cups (64 oz), with a non-slip ring on the base. Replaces plastic feeding bowls with a lifetime-grade metal one. Confirmed BPA-free and dishwasher safe by YETI.

How this score breaks down

Plastic in the product and its packaging Little plastic
One-piece 18/8 kitchen-grade stainless steel bowl (the same steel YETI uses in Rambler drinkware), puncture and rust resistant, dishwasher safe. The non-removable Bearfoot non-slip ring on the underside keeps the bowl in place; it does not touch food or water.
Microplastic shedding and leaching Doesn't shed
None expected in use. Food and water touch only stainless steel; the non-slip base ring is outside the food path.
End of life: persistence and recovery Recovers well
Recyclable, repairable, or genuinely recovered; low persistence.
Plastic-derived chemicals of concern No leaching concern
No PFAS, PTFE, BPA, or other leaching plastics in food or heat contact.
Transparency and verification Mostly disclosed
How fully the brand discloses its materials and coatings, and whether independent testing backs it up.

Strengths

  • Food-contact surface is 18/8 stainless steel only, no liner or coating
  • Essentially unbreakable and fully recyclable at end of life
  • Dishwasher safe, no plastic degradation over time
  • 5-year warranty encourages buy-once-keep-forever

Trade-offs

  • The Bearfoot non-slip base ring is rubber and not removable, so the bowl is not 100% plastic-and-rubber-free
  • Premium price for a dog bowl
  • Colored versions are powder-coated; the interior stays bare steel
