All Things Dog Blog

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

While on a 2-week trek up the Blue Ridge Parkway, the All Things Dog Blog crew had a chance to try out our new Moda Pet bowls in the RV. After our first trip we had quickly discovered that we needed some sort of non-slip bottom to keep our dogs' bowls from sliding around while Mario Andretti was at the wheel. That's my nickname for hubs, who is ever the safe driver, but it's fun to joke about crazy driving when a u-turn is a necessity. Thankfully, the RV we chose is quite capable of making a safe u-turn without it becoming a 3-point turn--never a good thing.

Back to the bowls. Our contact at Moda Pet sent us two bowls that were ideally sized for Tanner and Oliver. We had our choice of colors--lots available--and were able to make sure the dogs each got a differently shaped bowl in a unique color. This is not only good for the dogs to keep their bowls straight, but it helps the cook get the right amount of food in the correct bowl. Ahem!

So, you may be wondering, what else can she say about these bowls. Surprisingly, there is much! They are extremely lightweight so as not to add to the already overloaded RV for a longer trip this time. Made of a microwave safe material, I was easily able to warm up the water that Oliver's kibble is softened with. Yes, he has a special need to eat his favorite ORGANIX dinner in a softer form, the result of a throat injury last year. All is well and this bowl was a great addition to the RV easing this task.

While the RV doesn't have a dishwasher on board, the bowls did get tossed into ours at home for a good cleaning after our trip. Who doesn't love to have a machine wash their dishes?!!!

Now for the EcoPetStrategist's (yes, that's me!) comments: These bowls are BPA-free and made with food grade plastics, which is an extremely big deal for me being a cancer survivor. Score one for Moda Pet! You can follow @EcoPetStrategy on Twitter for more Eco-friendly pet lifestyle tips. While you're there, be sure to follow @ModaPet and Like Moda Pet on Facebook.

Tanner and Oliver were asked to try out the ModaPet bowls in our RV, and we were thrilled to give them a test run. We loved their many features we have shared above, but were not compensated to share this information with you.
