- Third-party certified, food-grade stainless steel

Tips for choosing the best eco-friendly bowl or feeder
Choosing the right feeding setup depends on your pet’s habits, size, eating speed, and sensitivities. Here are simple things to consider when comparing dog feeding supplies and eco-friendly cat bowls:
- Pick safe, stable materials: Stainless steel remains the safest everyday choice for dogs and cats because it’s non-porous, easy to clean, and long-lasting. Natural wool feeders add enrichment while staying plastic-free.
- Avoid plastic whenever possible: Even high-quality plastic scratches over time, trapping bacteria that can lead to chin acne in cats or irritated skin around a dog’s mouth.
- Match the bowl height to your pet: Cats and small dogs often benefit from slightly elevated bowls that reduce neck strain. Larger dogs may need bowls placed lower or at a height that supports digestion without encouraging fast eating.
- Look for features that support slow feeding: Wool snuffle mats encourage pets to work for their food at a natural pace, helping with digestion and reducing gulping. They also provide mental stimulation to enrich mealtime.
- Prioritize durability and low waste: Stainless steel bowls last for years, and wool feeders withstand repeated use. Longer-lasting materials mean fewer replacements and a lighter environmental footprint than most dog feeding accessories on the market.
- Consider your daily routine: Multi-pet homes may prefer dishwasher-friendly bowls for easy sanitizing. Enrichment feeders are great for pets who need slower eating or more mental engagement.
Small upgrades like these help create a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable feeding routine for both dogs and cats.
