I have dog dishes set in walnut. They look cheap, but there are no
alternative; brass dog dishes don't exist; at least not at a reasonable
price.

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.

If Martha Stewart Designer Doggy Dishes' stock tumbles it's your
fault.

I was more concerned about doing something to the dish that would
poison the dog.
"Hey, sorry to hear about your dog."
"Thanks. I'll miss him. His bowl looks great though, doesn't it?"
"Hell yeah!"
