Stainless steel bowls made in the USA?
Hi,
I want to buy a couple of stainless steel bowls for the dog I'm looking after/taking care of. Well, she's kinda mine right now. I want the bowls to be made in the U.S.A., though. I'm having a hard time finding any. They are usually made in Asia but usually South Asia (India). I don't want those. I found out about Basis Pet but they won't ship to Canada. No way of doing it that I know of. I thought about asking one relative who lives in California but I don't know her well. I think the cheapest I can find is - $40 Canadian for two bowls plus shipping (not sure what that is but probably about $20 CDN?). I want a medium-sized bowl for water and a small-sized bowl for food. The dog is about 10 lbs, I am guessing a Jack Russell, Chihuahua mix. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions or recommendations of what I can do and how I can buy/order these bowls? Edit: Ebay.ca has a pack of 2-small. A few other online outlets advertise but I don't know if they will ship to (ON) Canada. Some look like Basis Pet suppliers. Thanks for any advice. |

We found some a while back, marketed by Kong. We picked them up in a brick-and-mortar store, but I wonder if Amazon might also carry them?

That won't be made in the U.S.A., though.

They were marketed with the Kong name on them, and they were clearly stamped with the made in USA label.

Ooops...I guess those are Basis Pet bowls...and you said they don't ship to Canada? Even if it's through Amazon?

Amazon.ca shows many stainless steel pet bowls. You would have to investigate to see where they are made but at least with Amazon.ca the price listed is exactly what you will pay, no worries about what added shipping a duty costs might be. I wouldn't hesitate to buy bowls, or any stainless products like say good knives, made in a 1st world country where I could be reasonably confident no iffy materials made it into the steel. I am assuming that's your concern and it should be. |

Sucks living in Canada. It's pathetic - Amazon won't ship to Canada on many items and have separate web pages Amazon.com vs Amazon.ca. It's because it's so expensive to ship to Canada. So much for Free Trade. Sorry for the off-topic politics rant but I often have this issue. I can't get a decent bowl for my dog since the bowls are made in the USA but companies won't ship to Canada. An ebay seller will ship two small bowls (Basis Pet) to Canada but it's a bit more expensive (includes high shipping charge and import fee) but I was hoping to find a medium AND small bowl pack. That might be my only choice. :-/ |

Have you considered using a 3rd party company to get around the shipping restrictions to Canada?
