Is there any way to darken the SS? I have tried permanent marker, but that
wears off quickly.


"Patinating" them with a propane torch might work.



Or stick it it the oven at the highest temp you can get, and
then douse it in oil.

Am I the only one who thinks that worrying about the color
of a dog's dish is more than a little silly?

Must have been important enough to try permanent marker. I've heard
plenty of silly stuff, but to these people - at that time it was very
important. Given dogs are color blind; mine don't care what color his
food or bowl is.
