Listen to this articleBOWLS & FEEDING SYSTEMS
Despite being so vital to a pet’s health, bowls and feeding systems might be one of the most overlooked sectors in the pet care industry. Water and food bowls are continuing to evolve into stylish and sophisticated accessories.
For retailers, it’s an area that could boost revenue when handled correctly. It’s a good idea to ask customers some questions regarding how many pets are in the house, their sizes and their eating and drinking habits. It could result in sales of a high-tech system, elevated bowls or dual dishes.
Boomer 4-Cup Bowl
The Boomer 4-Cup Bowl is built for furry adventure companions with a smaller paw print who still require the same rugged durability and smart, non-slip design. It’s engineered with double-wall, non-insulated stainless steel so it’s durable, easy to clean and resistant to rust and roughhousing. Available now in Navy, Stainless, Seafoam, Brick Red, Black and River Green.
Buster Bowls
Indipets designs a bowl for every kind of dog and pet parent. The Indipets Buster Bowl is the perfect mix of function and style. This stainless steel bowl features a fashionable outer covering and a non-slip base. Made from medical-grade material, the bacteria-free, stainless-steel bowl is 100 percent rust-proof, lead-free, phthalate-free and cadmium-free. It features a fashionable TPE (thermoplast elastomer) outer cover. It’s also dishwasher safe.
Roamwild Pestoff Bird Feeder
When a large bird, squirrel or rat lands on the perch of the feeder, the heavy weight of the pest makes the perch hatch move downward, blocking off access to the food. Once the frustrated pest moves off the perch, the perch hatch automatically returns to its open position, awaiting for the next lightweight songbird to feed or to stop the next pest—letting only the small birds feed.
Toadfish Non-Tipping Bowl
The Toadfish Non-Tipping Dog Bowl sticks to any smooth surface to prevent inevitable dog bowl flips! When you need to pick it up, simply lift straight up to release the suction. We’ve also included a lid for easy packability. For every Dog Bowl sold, Toadfish donates a percentage of sales to conservation and oyster restoration initiatives throughout the U.S.
The Fluff Trough
The Fluff Trough is an elevated pet feeder with a patented, ergonomic design to promote better digestion for dogs of all sizes, cats and other animals. The collection has expanded to include an XL size for larger dogs, as well as a stainless-steel insert for water. Fluff Troughs can be customized with a pet’s name, likeness or special quote.
Enriched Life Apple Stick Hay Feeder
Oxbow’s Enriched Life Apple Stick Hay Feeder is a new, fun way to offer hay to pets. The hay feeder is made with safe, natural materials including untreated wood, apple sticks, natural fibers, and vegetable-based dyes, making it an enriching addition to every small pet’s habitat.
Hero Bowl
With its built-in smart silver ion technology, the bowl offers 24-hour antimicrobial protection. The HERO Bowl is a perfect solution to raw-feeding or for use in situations where there is a risk of cross-contamination. Made from recyclable polypropylene, it features a non-slip base and an ergonomic design. It is stain- and odor-resistant, and dishwasher-safe.

The Dog Skatebowl
The Dog Skatebowl epitomizes the inspiration for JIBY that grew from the brand’s love for dogs and skateboarding. JIBY collaborated with a local artist, craftsman and fellow skateboarder, DC Curated, to create this special handmade piece. The piece features a protective coating for water resistance and durability plus maple wood legs with protective cork pads.
Copper Water Bowl
A copper water bowl is a great choice for your pet. Copper is naturally antimicrobial and using a copper pet bowl can help avoid the biofilm that forms in other types of pet bowls. Biofilm, which is a by-product of your pet’s saliva mixing with water, can contain disease causing viruses and bacteria. Each bowl has a capacity of 500 ml / 16.9 ounces.

Available in three colors: Baby Green, Baby Blue and Baby Pink.
K-Rex Kleanbowl
The K-Rex disposable reptile bowl decreases the risk of disease for pets and owners. The steel bowl frame holds a biodegradable, disposable and compostable bowl, and is weighted to prevent tipping. The low profile provides easy access while keeping substrate out of the bowl. This product comes with three Nourish-Pet refill bowls; refill packs available. It is completely reptile safe.
Non-Tip Pet Bowl
The beauty of each Platinum Pets Non-Tip Pet Bowl goes beneath its brilliant surface. The proprietary powder coating process transforms the high gauge stainless steel bowl into one that is beautiful as well as scratch-, chip- and fade-resistant. Each bowl is finished with a long-lasting silicone ring at the base to prevent skidding and tipping. True Sizing Technology will ensure the pet is getting the proper amount of food for optimum fitness and health.
