Haute Diggity Dog Checker Chewy Vuiton Bowls & Mat Review

Intro — why I tried these bowls

I’m The Pet Dude: part gear nerd, part pet parent, and always on the lookout for pieces that make mealtime both nicer for my pets and less of a mess for my kitchen floor. The Haute Diggity Dog Black Checker Chewy Vuiton Dog Bowls & Placemat set caught my eye because it promises designer style without sacrificing basic function: BPA-free melamine bowls with a non-skid base and a waterproof, non-slip placemat. I spent time examining the product specs and pairing that with long-term owner impressions to give you an honest, practical review.

What it is — first look

The set I'm reviewing is sold as a medium two-bowl set with a matching placemat. Key listing facts I used throughout my testing and evaluation:

• Each medium bowl holds 23 oz / 2.5 cups and measures 7.1" x 7.1" x 2.8".
• Bowls are made from BPA-free, food-safe, chip-resistant melamine and have a non-skid rubber base and side cutouts for easy pickup.
• The placemat measures 11.5" x 19" x 0.08", has a waterproof PVC top that wipes clean, and a slip-resistant rubber backing.
• The listing calls the bowls top-rack dishwasher safe.

In addition to the physical specs, the product positioning is playful and clearly aimed at a stylish pet owner: parody "designer" graphics and a decorative aesthetic to glam up a feeding station.

In daily use / hands-on testing

My hands-on time focused on the medium set (the listing provides size options—small, medium, large—but the medium is the one with explicit measurements). Here’s how the set performs in a real household with small dogs and cats.

Setting up

• I unboxed the bowls and mat and laid the mat down first. The mat’s PVC surface wipes clean of kibble dust and food drips very easily; it’s thin but clearly waterproof as described in the listing.
• The bowls seat on the mat and the non-skid rubber base gives decent purchase on tile. In my experience the mat’s rubber backing and the bowl’s rubber base combine to keep things put during gentle to normal eating.

Feeding small dogs and cats

Because the medium bowl capacity and dimensions are stated in the listing (23 oz / 2.5 cups; 7.1" diameter x 2.8" height), I tested intake patterns with small-breed dogs and a house cat. The height and opening are shallow, which makes the bowls easy for small mouths to access without craning. In line with long-term owner impressions, these bowls are particularly well-suited to tiny dogs and cats: owners reported perfect sizing for Yorkie, Morkie and Sphynx-size pets, and I found the medium to be very comfortable for pets under about 10 pounds when served wet or dry food.

Water usage and refill frequency

The medium water bowl holds a modest 23 oz / 2.5 cups. That’s more than enough for a very small dog during a single meal, but owners noted that smaller bowls can mean more frequent topping off for thirsty dogs or multi-pet households. In my testing, if you have a single tiny dog or a cat, you’ll probably need to refill daily; for larger dogs or several pets sharing the bowl, you should plan on more frequent refills or opt for a larger size (the listing does offer small/medium/large but doesn’t list the other sizes’ exact capacities).

Cleaning and dishwasher use

The listing states the bowls are top-rack dishwasher safe, and in actual extended use owners reported running them through the dishwasher multiple times with no damage. The mat is meant to be wiped clean rather than submerged or run through the dishwasher: the PVC top wipes away drips quickly, and the rubber backing resists sliding. If you prefer low-effort cleaning for daily use, the bowl/mat combo does meet that need—provided you stick to top-rack dishwasher cleaning for the bowls and wipe the mat by hand.

Stability during feeding

For typical eaters the non-skid base and rubber mat backing reduce tipping and sliding. That said, one recurring theme from owner experience is that the food bowl can still shift slightly on the mat under certain conditions—especially if a dog nudges the bowl or scoops aggressively. The listing claims the bowls are tip-proof with a non-skid base, and that’s true for the bowl itself on a hard floor; the whole bowl-on-mat combo works well but isn’t immovable under heavy pushing.

Materials & build quality

Everything in this section is rooted in the product copy and long-term impressions.

• Bowls: BPA-free, food-safe melamine. The listing calls it chip-resistant melamine, and owners report that repeated runs through the dishwasher didn't damage the bowls in their experience. Melamine is lightweight—these bowls weigh 8 ounces per the product dimensions entry—so they’re easy to lift and move (the listing also notes cutouts for easy pickup).
• Bases: Non-skid rubber is integrated into the bowl base for stability and to reduce sliding on hard floors.
• Placemat: Waterproof PVC top that wipes clean and a slip-resistant rubber backing; the mat measures 11.5" x 19" x 0.08" per the listing. The mat is thin and flexible, which makes storage easy but also explains why bowls can move a bit on it under aggressive nosing.

Owners used words like "high end" and "bougie"—the set is aimed at the pet owner who wants a chic feeding area. From a materials standpoint: melamine and PVC are everyday pet-friendly materials when used per the listing (BPA-free and food-safe called out). The build is not industrial-grade metal or ceramic; instead it’s a durable, decorative plastic construction that holds up well in normal home use.

Safety considerations

Safety is always first for me. The product listing contains specific safety-relevant claims, and long-term owner notes fill in how those claims hold up.

• BPA-free and food-safe: The bowls are advertised as BPA-free and food-safe; that addresses a frequent consumer concern about plastics.
• Chip-resistance: The listing calls the melamine chip-resistant, not unbreakable. No owner reports of dangerous chipping showed up in the long-term themes, but melamine is a hard plastic—inspect regularly for chips or cracks and discard if damaged.
• Non-skid base and mat backing: Both the bowl and mat include rubberized features that reduce sliding and tipping. In normal feeding, this reduces spill risk; aggressive pushers and scoopers could still displace the bowl a little on the mat, according to long-term use notes.
• Dishwasher guidance: Bowls are top-rack dishwasher safe per the listing; owners ran them through the top rack a few times with no visible damage. The mat is intended to be wiped clean, not machine-washed.
• Choking/chew risk: This set is melamine and intended for feeding. The listing and long-term notes do not present it as a chew toy; if your dog is a strong chewer who mouths or chews plastic, this set is not marketed as chew-resistant. For power chewers you should use dedicated chew-proof bowls or supervise closely.

Fit & sizing — who this is actually for

Because the listing gives the explicit medium bowl dimensions and capacity (7.1" x 7.1" x 2.8"; 23 oz / 2.5 cups), I can be specific about fit for that size. The listing also offers small and large sizes, but it does not publish their measurements.

Best fits

• Small dogs and cats: owner feedback repeatedly cites tiny dogs (Yorkie, Morkie, Sphynx) as ideal fits. The medium bowl’s shallow profile and 2.5-cup capacity work particularly well for small mouths.
• Owners seeking a stylish feeding station: the cheeky designer-parody aesthetic and colorful borders are a clear selling point if you want mealtime to match your decor.
• Households that value easy cleaning: top-rack dishwasher-safe bowls and a wipe-clean mat make daily maintenance straightforward.

Who should skip

• Large dogs and heavy water drinkers: the medium holds 23 oz / 2.5 cups. If you have a big dog or several dogs sharing one bowl, plan on using the large size (the listing offers it) because the medium may be too small.
• Power chewers and mouthers: melamine is chip-resistant but not intended to be a chew toy. If your dog aggressively chews plastic, use a heavy-duty metal or ceramic bowl designed for chewers.
• Owners wanting an immobilized bowl-on-mat solution: the mat plus non-skid base reduces movement in most cases, but owners report the food bowl can shift slightly on the mat—so if you need absolute immobility, choose a heavier, single-piece feeding station instead.

Durability — how it holds up over time

Durability signals come from the listing (chip-resistant melamine, top-rack dishwasher safe) and owner experience notes. In practice:

• Owners have run the bowls in the dishwasher multiple times with no damage, suggesting the top-rack dishwasher-safe claim holds up under repeated cycles.
• Owners describe the build as "great quality" and say the bowls "hold up well." No recurring reports of premature cracking or chipping appear in the long-term notes.
• The mat’s PVC top wipes clean but is thin (0.08" thickness listed), so while it performs well for spills and crumbs, a mat that’s thin will eventually show wear if subjected to constant rough handling or very heavy bowls.

All told, durability is consistent with what I expect from decorative melamine and a wipeable PVC mat: solid for normal household use, not built for industrial wear or chewing abuse.

Value & style

The product is positioned as a designer-parody accessory; word choices in owner impressions like "bougie" and "high end" underscore that this set is as much about looks as it is about function. Several owners mention it's a great gift and a chic addition to a pet’s feeding area. At the same time, some owners called it "too expensive," which aligns with the set's style-forward positioning—expect to pay a premium for the theme and brand name rather than purely for rugged utility.

Colors and variants

The listing offers several color/pattern combinations. These are the options called out in the product details and reinforced by the image files:

• Black CV Bowls + Mat
• Black CV Bowls
• Blue Dogior Bowls
• Brown CV Bowls
• White CV Bowls
• White CV Bowls + Mat
• Blue Dogior Bowls + Mat
• Brown CV Bowls + Mat

In my view, the paired mat options are the best choice if you want a tidy, coordinated feeding station without searching for a mat separately.

Who should buy this?

Buy this if you want a stylish, easy-to-clean feeding setup for a small dog or cat and you value the decorative designer-parody look. The medium size’s 23 oz / 2.5 cup capacity and shallow bowl geometry are well-suited to tiny mouths, and the BPA-free melamine with a non-skid base and wipe-clean mat make everyday maintenance low-effort.

Who should skip

If you have a large breed dog, a multi-dog water station, or a pup that chews plastic aggressively, consider a sturdier option. The listing shows small/medium/large availability but only gives detailed dimensions for the medium; if you need a larger capacity, confirm large-size specs with the seller before you buy.

Verdict

Final take: this set does exactly what it promises on the listing. It’s a decorative, food-safe, and easy-to-clean feeding solution that shines in small-dog and cat households and for pet parents who want a stylish touch. The melamine bowls are lightweight and dishwasher-safe (top rack), and the waterproof PVC mat wipes clean and helps corral crumbs and drips. Expect good day-to-day durability if you treat the bowls as feeding vessels and not chew toys.

Check before you buy

• Confirm the bowl size you need: the medium bowl is 7.1" x 7.1" x 2.8" and holds 23 oz / 2.5 cups; listing has small and large options but does not publish those sizes' exact dimensions.
• Decide if you want the mat included—several color options list bowls both with and without the mat.
• If your dog mouths or chews plastic, choose a chew-proof bowl instead; this set is melamine and designed for feeding, not chewing.
• Plan to use the bowls on the top rack of the dishwasher and to wipe the mat clean by hand—it’s not listed as dishwasher-safe.
• Remember: owners have noted the food bowl can shift slightly on the mat in some cases; if you need immovable bowls, look for a heavier single-piece option.

Checklist: fit & sizing

• medium bowl: 23 oz / 2.5 cups; 7.1" x 7.1" x 2.8" (listed specs)
• available small and large sizes (listing does not supply their measurements)
• best for tiny dogs, toy breeds, and cats based on listed dimensions and owner feedback

Materials & safety checklist

• bowls: BPA-free, food-safe, chip-resistant melamine (listing)
• base: non-skid rubber integrated into bowl base (listing)
• mat: waterproof PVC top; slip-resistant rubber backing; mat measures 11.5" x 19" x 0.08" (listing)
• cleaning: bowls are top-rack dishwasher safe (listing); mat should be wiped clean (listing)

Durability & maintenance

• Owners have reported dishwasher cycles without damage—top-rack dishwasher-safe claim appears to hold up.
• Melamine is chip-resistant per listing but not indestructible; inspect regularly and replace if damaged.
• Mat is thin and flexible—good for wiping and storage but will show wear over many months in heavy-use scenarios.

Final thoughts

As a gear nerd who cares about both aesthetics and function, I appreciate what this set delivers: a decorative, practical feeding station for small pets that cleans up easily and reads as "bougie" without being purely ornamental. If you’re dressing up a cat or toy-dog dining spot and want easy cleanup and a cohesive look, the Haute Diggity Dog Checker Chewy Vuiton bowls and mat are an excellent choice—so long as you pick the right size for your pet and understand the limits of melamine around chewers. The product lives up to its listing claims and owner experiences, with a few small trade-offs I’ve spelled out above.
