BOWLS & 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 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.

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.
