Ceramic Dog Food Bowls

Should i be concerned?

My dogs water and food bowl are ceramic. they are painted beige with a black strip on the outside, and painted black inside. i have had them for about 2 years. i just remembered they were made in china. do you think it is possible that chinese made dog bowls may be painted with lead based paints? if so, do you think it poses a danger to the dogs?

I doubt it. The paint would have been glazed over so the water wouldn’t seep through the bowl. Glaze is that glassy coating that keeps it watertight and easily washable– and lead won’t go through glaze into the water.

But if you’re still worried, you might want to get new bowl just to be safe. I’m lucky– my mom is a potter so I know all her stuff is safe.
