As the two trends of eco-conscious shopping and organic food continue to grow, pet owners have become more mindful of what’s going into their dog’s bowl. But what about the “green”-ness of the dog bowl itself? Now, the bowl can also be environmentally friendly with the Planet Petco Oval Bamboo Dog Bowl.

Like the other products in the Planet Petco line, the Oval Bamboo Dog Bowl is designed with the environment — and your dog’s health — in mind. The main feature of this dog bowl is the material used in its construction: bamboo. Since bamboo is a sustainable plant, your dog’s carbon “pawprint” is lowered.

But fortunately for owners, the material used in the Planet Petco Oval Bamboo Dog Bowl is completely sturdy and non-toxic for your dog, a real plus for humans worried about feeding their dog in plastic containers. And the packaging is also recyclable for an extra eco-friendly boost.

Also, considering the high quality of the Planet Petco Oval Bamboo Dog Bowl, the price is refreshingly low. The bowl is offered in three sizes — the traditional Small, Medium, and Large — and the prices range from around $4.50 to about $9. Considering the durability of this bowl, the price is a true bargain. And since the bowl is dishwasher-safe, keeping the product as clean as new is a snap.

The Planet Petco Oval Bamboo Dog Bowl is also an attractive feeder, and is offered in brightly colored Red or a more subdued Olive, as well as such earth tones as Oat and Chestnut — ensuring that the bowl will fit nicely into just about any kitchen décor. The bowl also features a cute bone-shaped cutout for easy handling.

Simply put, the Planet Petco Oval Bamboo Dog Bowl is an all-around solid dog bowl option, and the added bonus of its environmentally friendly design makes it even more of a great bargain.

Pros: Eco-friendly and affordable; sturdy and attractive.

Cons: None.
