At Chow Bella, I create handmade ceramic dog and cat bowls, lovingly crafted in my Hampshire studio.

Every bowl is designed with both style and practicality in mind, combining artisan quality with thoughtful details that make life easier for you—and more enjoyable for your pet.

Why Choose Chow Bella?

• Ear Free Dog Bowls Specially shaped to keep long ears (like those of spaniels and cavaliers) out of their food and water, helping to keep mealtimes tidier and more comfortable.

• Made to Order Each bowl is made just for you, with options to personalise the design, colours and even your pet’s name.

• Robust & Practical My bowls are dishwasher-safe and microwave-proof, making them ideal for everyday use.

• Sustainable I use British clay, biodegradable packaging, and run our studio on renewable electricity.

Ear-Free Dog Bowls

Designed especially for long-eared breeds like cockers and cavaliers, these bowls keep ears clean and dry. Available in classic or slow-feeder styles for dogs who need help eating more slowly. These are our signature design, and a customer favourite for good reason.

Traditional Dog Bowls

Stylish, sturdy bowls for all breeds—from dachshunds to labradors. Choose from standard or slow-feeder designs to support better digestion and calmer mealtimes. I also offer Puzzle Plates, ideal for separating different food items and making mealtime entertaining for your dog.

Cat Bowls & Saucers

Whisker-friendly saucers, low-sided bowls, and Beehive water bowls for flat-faced breeds like Persians and British Shorthairs—each one handmade for feline comfort and style.

The Artisan Hound Collection

Unique, one-off pieces featuring organic forms, natural glazes and sometimes metallic lustres. An artistic celebration of the bond we share with our dogs.

Lead Time

Handmade ceramics take time, and because we're very popular, we also have a waiting list, so please allow up 4-5 weeks for despatch of your order.

Meet the Maker

Hello, I’m Claire, founder of Chow Bella. I started this business back in 2006 after struggling to find a suitable bowl for my spaniel, Bella.

I’ve been making bowls ever since—now with my current sidekick, Mango the cocker spaniel, by my side. Whether you're after something practical, beautiful or completely bespoke, you're in good hands.

Made to Order

Every Chow Bella bowl is handmade to order, with care and attention to detail. Because of the craftsmanship involved, please allow 4–5 weeks for dispatch.
