Premium Stainless Steel Dog Bowl with Non-Slip Rubber Base - 30oz (1 Pack) - Durable Pet Food & Water Dish for Large Dogs - Perfect for Indoor, Outdoor & Travel Use

At the beginning of the year I took possession of an old boarding kennel that needs massive upgrades so purchased 15 of the 52 ounce and 15 of the 30 ounce bowls. After seeing these in person I'll be ordering the other sizes as well. After reading some of the reviews I'll put in my two-cents....They seem very sturdy. There are no sharp edges and nothing to harm the dogs that I can see or feel.Yes, there is a rubber tire odor and I have no idea if that will dissipate or not but given my situation it doesn't matter. The dogs are all eating readily with no hesitation so obviously, any odor isn't bothering them. They also don't slide on the concrete while the dog is eating.As to the labels, yes, some are hard to remove and some peel out with no trouble but I soaked the labels in warm water and dawn dish soap for about 30 minutes and used my thumb nail to scrape out what I could easily remove then dumped the soapy water, added another dollop of dawn and scrubbed with a nylon scour pad until all remaining label and residue was gone. Rinsed well and set to dry on a towel. Only took 1 to 2 minutes per bowl and no sign of any residue to be seen. Also the nylon scour pad doesn't seem to have caused any damage to the surface.The label does say "lifetime guarantee" so if anyone has problems they should contact the seller for replacement or refund.I haven't had these bowls very long and will definitely update this review as necessary.March 3, 2015 update; I needed smaller bowls for my business but found a great price elsewhere that was offering a first-time purchase discount so ordered a bunch of the 9 oz, 16 oz and 88 oz bowls, which arrived today. All 12 of the 9 oz bowls had labels that peeled out easily with NO residue or scrubbing necessary. A few of the 16 oz bowls also had labels that were easy to remove but some did require scrubbing as I mention above; maybe these bowls were truly newer stock and someone read all the complaints about tough-to-remove-labels. The 88 oz bowls had labels that were definitely tougher and took far more time to remove than any of the others.
