How we began
We can't talk about Chow Bella without mentioning Bella herself!
When Bella was 18 months old, Claire got really fed up with her ears always draping in her food and water. Claire is a trained potter, so she decided to make her a bowl. That was the birth of Chow Bella, way back in 2006.
Bella was Claire's Dog of her Life. Mischievous, adventurous, comical and above all devoted to Claire, Bella lived to the ripe old age of 14. She is much missed and will always remain central to the brand that is Chow Bella.
Claire now has an orange roan cocker called Mango who is fitting in very well as the new studio dog!

Lovely handmade personalised bowl
Lovely handmade personalised bowl. Excellent quality and I kept informed at every step of the way as to the progress of the bowl. I have had 4 bowls and a treat jar over the years and they have all been perfect.
Gorgeous Bowls
Absolutely love the springer bowl for my 3 cockers as a water bowl.
Such a fantastic idea for a multi dog household.
Just love Chow Bella bowls, beautifully made to last.
The bowls we ordered are perfect!
The bowls we ordered are perfect! Not seen anything like these elsewhere and you can tell they are made with attention to detail and time taken :)
Beautiful Urn
After much searching we came across Chow Bella. We knew we needed a beautiful way to honour our boy. It’s absolutely what we were looking for.
The urn has been made with much care and the personalisation makes it so special. You have given our boy the most beautiful resting place. We are so grateful to you, thank you so much 💙 x
Impressed with item and exceptional customer service!
From ordering to delivery, customer service was exceptional and Claire responded to my messages and also I received updates throughout the process. I have ordered a King Charles Spaniel bowl which is a perfect size for my ferrets. The bowl arrived and was very well packaged like a gift wrapped! Definitely will recommend to my friends and I will order again for myself or even as a gift. Thank you Chow Bella Bowls!
