Every pet parent wants the best for their furry companions: nutritious food, fresh water, and a clean, safe environment. But one item that often goes unnoticed in daily care is the bowl itself. The material your pet eats and drinks from can have a direct impact on their hygiene, health, and overall wellbeing.
At Ember’s Elements™, we believe that everyday pet essentials can be both beautiful and functional. Our handcrafted pure copper pet bowls combine timeless design with the natural antibacterial benefits of copper, helping you create a cleaner, healthier space for your pets.
The Antibacterial Power of Copper
Copper has been used for centuries for its ability to destroy bacteria, viruses, and fungi. When harmful microbes come into contact with copper, the metal releases ions that damage their cell walls, disrupt their metabolism, and render them harmless. This means copper naturally eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella, pathogens that can often contaminate pet bowls made from other materials.
Unlike coated or lined metals, pure copper bowls, such as the Dune Premium Pure Copper Pet Bowl and Aurora Premium Copper Pet Bowl, allow this natural self-sanitizing process to work continuously. The result: a bowl that keeps itself cleaner between washes, helping protect your dog or cat from bacterial buildup and unpleasant odors.
Copper vs. Stainless Steel vs. Plastic
When it comes to pet bowls, three materials dominate the market, plastic, stainless steel, and copper. Each has its pros and cons, but when it comes to hygiene and long-term safety, copper stands out.
- Plastic Bowls: Affordable but easily scratched, plastic surfaces can harbor bacteria in tiny crevices. Over time, this can lead to skin irritation, acne (especially on dogs’ chins), and even gastrointestinal issues. Plastic may also leach chemicals if exposed to heat or sunlight.
-
Stainless Steel Bowls: Durable and easy to clean, stainless steel is a common choice. However, it lacks copper’s natural antibacterial properties. Stainless bowls still require frequent scrubbing to stay hygienic.
-
Pure Copper Bowls: Antimicrobial, chemical-free, and aesthetically timeless, copper bowls help naturally purify water and inhibit bacterial growth. They’re ideal for pet owners who value both wellness and design.

Supporting Pet Wellness Naturally
Your pet’s health starts with the little details. Using a pure copper pet dish can support wellness in subtle but meaningful ways:
-
Cleaner hydration: Copper’s self-purifying action keeps water fresher longer.
-
Reduced contamination risk: Fewer bacteria mean a safer drinking experience.
-
Odor control: Copper resists odor-causing microbial buildup.
-
Aesthetic and durable: Every Ember’s Elements bowl is handcrafted for both form and function, lasting for years with proper care.
Even better, maintaining copper is easy. Simply wash with mild soap and water, and occasionally polish with Perfect Polish Multi-Purpose Cleaner, a natural, non-toxic solution that restores copper’s radiant shine without harsh chemicals.
