Go Pet Bento – Pet Travel Bowls: A Woofus Product Review

by

Go Pet BentoOur journeying begins in just a few short days. Feeding three woofuses on the road will have its unique challenges. I have been looking for food bowls and a water bowl that are sturdy and easy to pack in the K9 Camper. The Bento bowls by Go Pet are a revelation to me, stylish, convenient and well made in the USA, North Carolina to be exact.

Made of human-rated, food grade stainless steel (yes, this can be different from pet-grade, believe it or not) and BPA free plastic, these sleek bowls link together neatly and securely for travel. They come in your choice of two bowl, three bowl or four bowl configurations. We opted for the four bowl of course, to feed and water our pack of three dogs.

Each bowl holds up to 20 ounces of dry kibble. The top bowl holds 16 ounces of water, has a vacuum seal on top and a handle for carrying the whole kit. Bowls can also be used to carry all sorts of pet accessories – leashes, poop bags, treats, toys, medicines and more – almost like a small suitcase for your dog.

The only suggestion I would make for this nifty feeding gear, is to offer the multi bowl kits in different colors for each bowl or to in some way differentiate them. I lose track of which bowl is for which dog. As I do feed them slightly different amounts each, having color coded bowls would be a big help.

I am quite pleased with the compact nature of the whole kit. In a travel trailer, there’s not a lot of storage room. The four bowl set is only 8 1/2″ tall and 6″ in diameter, when all clipped together.

You can of course pack the food and water in the bowls themselves if you are just taking a short journey. Heading to grandma’s house for the day – easy peasy – send the Bento bowls along with your pup’s dinner!
