Dog Food Without Plastic

About two years ago, one of our employees who always brought her dog to work had a great idea. She decided to start bringing her dog's food in one of our 2-tier 14 cm (5.5") tiffins. In one of the compartments, she would put some 'yummy' dog food and would keep the other empty so she could fill it up with water when she came to work. It worked great! Animals are just as likely as humans to be contaminated by toxins leaching from plastic. So stainless steel is a great alternative to plastic, especially because animals won't be able to chew on it, and because it can be completely sterilized in the dishwasher, which is not the case with plastic.

We offer one, two and three layers tiffins. With the 3-tier tiffin (as shown on the photo) you could have a layer with food, another one with biscuits and the last one would be reserved for water. These tiffins are made in Thailand of high quality 18-8 stainless steel. You can see them all here.

The beautiful dog in the picture is Lulu, our friend Jean's dog. She is a gentle gem of a canine being. The picture was taken in early March 2011 here in Wakefield. As you can see, the tiffin is just the perfect size for Lulu.

I'm bringing my aluminum water bottle to work. I've almost got passed the tin taste :) Might as well do it for the dogs!

Hello,

Thank you for your comment. The tiffins that are featured in our blog post are made of high quality stainless steel. We do not recommend using aluminum as an alternative to plastic products. Aluminum is less stable and could chemically interfere with water or food stored in such containers. Have you ever noticed how aluminum foil will sometimes disintegrate in contact with acidic products such as tomato sauce.

While I don't get the chance to bring my skye terrier to work, I've always been a fan of stainless steel bowls for him. I never understood why people bought plastic bowls or anything plastic for dogs in the first place. Plastics are so easily chewed on and damaged. Anyway, thanks for the post!
