Most shapes also feature finger holds, making it more comfortable for pet parents to serve and pick up bowls.The Scruffs Flat Faced Pet Bowl is for brachycephalic breeds of dog (dogs with flat faces), such as pugs, French and English bulldogs. Flat faced dogs generally have reduced airways which can lead to problems breathing, especially when eating. With a regular flat-bottomed, bowl, flat faced dogs have to move their noses against hard walls, making it difficult to breathe. If they inhale air while eating, they can suffer from bloat, indigestion, choking, vomiting or excessive wind. Scruffs Flat Faced Bowls raise the feeding surface, bringing it further towards the dogs, and the curved surface inside the bowl means that noses don't get pushed against a wall, eliminating all of the above problems.
