I used to love cheap dollar store pet dishes for my mammals. They were so cute and inexpensive! However, I became very leery of using them after many reported cases of cheap ceramics from Asia using lead glaze which can leach into foods/water and harm the animals. If I wouldn't eat off it, my cats and dogs sure aren't.

I know there are several ways to test for lead in ceramics, and that even expensive people dishes can contain it.

However, does anyone have any information on if it is even a concern with BPs?

Here is a quick link to a reliable source about lead glaze and checking for it http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/lead/do...20Ceramic2.pdf
