West Paw's new Seaflex collection introduces eco-friendly dog bowls and placemats that are made from ocean-bound plastic so that feeding pets is both simple and sustainable. The collection for pets features placemats with raised edges so that messes are contained, and the no-slip bowl design eliminates noisy eating sounds that come from bowls on the move.
Available in color choices like Marine Blue or Sea Fog Grey, these eco-friendly dog bowls are dishwasher-safe and non-toxic, thanks to the use of a zero-waste material by the name of Zogoflex. West Paw collaborated with Oceanworks to safely and responsibly source the material from threatened coastal areas in Central America. At the end of their usable life, the products can even be recycled via Join the Loop.
