Where is the ideal location for a dog bowl?
The location of your dog's bowl is not a matter of chance. Proper placement not only improves your dog's eating comfort , but also ensures better hygiene , reduces stress and promotes peaceful eating .
At Oscar & Plume , animal welfare is at the heart of every recommendation. Here are our tips for choosing the best place to place your dog's bowl .
1. A quiet, secure place with no traffic
The dog should eat in a quiet space , without agitation or sudden noise . Avoid busy areas such as:
-
the passageways,
-
the main entrance,
-
next to the washing machine or noisy appliances.
💡 A quiet corner in the kitchen or a corner of the living room is often ideal.

2. An easy-to-clean floor
Place the bowl on an easy-to-maintain surface : tile, vinyl flooring, or waterproof carpet. Avoid carpets or textile rugs, which retain moisture and food residue.
👉 At Oscar & Plume , you will also find non-slip and elegant mats to protect your floors while ensuring the stability of the bowls.
3. A height adapted to the dog’s morphology
To avoid neck or digestive pain, the bowl must be:
-
at ground level for small dogs or puppies,
-
raised for large, older or arthritic dogs.
💡 A raised bowl allows for better posture and easier digestion.
4. A clear separation between food and water
While double bowls are convenient, it may be a good idea to separate the food and water bowls slightly to avoid splashing and keep the water cleaner for longer.
💧 Our range includes separate water fountains and bowls to help keep your dog hydrated throughout the day.
5. Respect the dog's personal space
Always allow your dog free access to his bowl without restriction . Avoid placing it in a confined space or near his sleeping area, especially if he is territorial or anxious .
