Why copper for water, brass for food

Embers Elements copper bowls are designed exclusively for water, not for serving food. For wet and dry pet food, explore our handcrafted brass pet bowls. Each material has a specific intended use, so choose the bowl according to its product description.

Copper is known for its antimicrobial properties under certain conditions. However, these properties do not mean that a copper pet bowl prevents disease, eliminates all bacteria, or replaces regular cleaning and fresh water.
