This raises the question - why are you advertising for them?

Bam-Booh!

I appreciate the idea of not giving bad companies press. However, I still think it's worth while to point out when a company is doing wrong, even if it garners them some attention. I feel the same is true for companies employing sweat shops for example; to uncover the companie's practices and try to effect change, one must mention the company.

Thanks for the article Jasmine, and providing a link to the company allows us to contact the company make suggestions.

Best,

Finally, a device made for someone too lazy to use a dishwasher. If they are this lazy with the food dish I wonder how nasty the litter box must be.

Why not just have disposable pets? Wouldn't that be easier? Why feed 'em? Just keep 'em as long as they last without the inconvenience and yuckiness of dealing with their food?

What if the liner was made out of soy- or corn-based plastics that biodegraded? Or if it was recyclable plastic? Would that save more energy than washing a seven pet bowls a week? (Or washing one pet bowl seven times?)

Wow seven times a week? My dog's bowl gets washed maybe once a month. I don't feel that the cleanliness of their dog bowl is particularly important, since if they were living in nature they'd be eating off the ground.

the time, energy, water, money... etc. used to produce a soy or corn or recycled product would far surpass the water used to clean out a dish.

Who washes a pet bowl every day? We maybe washed out cat dishes once a week and they lived long, happy lives.

the argument that using a disposable product is better than using the water to clean something to use it again seems to come up a lot. Common sense should be enough to answer this question.

I dont know how anyone can argue or even hint that you can "save more energy" by using disposables. You can almost guarantee that as much if not more water was used in fabrication alone when you count that oil would have been used as well as other resources on top of that and the fact that plastic is a toxic and dangerous material to the earth. (google: plastic islands in the ocean).

even if you were insane and washed your pet bowl twice a day washing would still be a far better option overall than using a disposable.

Who approves these products anyway? Why cant we just save the energy of even having a product like this debut in the first place.

Our dog cleans her own stainless steel bowl. There is nothing leftover when she's done inhaling her food and licking up every single molecule of food. There's nothing left to clean!

Sometimes these products just make me want to pound my head on the desk from sheer frustration. I love pets, but I can't see using disposable dishes for them. On a trip they'd take more room than carrying a single reusable bowl, even beyond the sheer waste of it all.
