Abstract
A weighted pet bowl with a minimally small footprint is formed from inner and outer shells stamped from stainless steel sheets. Each shell includes a rim that extends outwardly around the top of the bowl. The rims are crimped together around their outer edges to form a peripheral lip or bead which provides a convenient finger grip for securely gripping the bowl. A flowable material such as sand is provided in an internal cavity defined between the shells to serve as ballast and prevent a pet from tipping over the bowl.
