The bowl is made from a rice-husk biocomposite (rice husk + natural binders) — a sustainable alternative to plastic that repurposes agricultural waste and reduces reliance on virgin plastics. It’s biodegradable to a greater extent than conventional plastics and has a lower environmental footprint.

Yes — the No-Nonsense Bowl is produced fromfood-contact safe, non-toxic materialsand finished to a smooth, chip-resistant surface. It’s free from BPA/formaldehyde coatings and designed with rounded edges so it’s safe for daily feeding and water. (Always inspect for damage and replace if cracked.)

No-Nonsense Bowl features ananti-skid base and balanced geometryso it stays put during mealtimes — reducing spills, mess and stress for enthusiastic eaters. Non-slip bases are also helpful for seniors or pets with mobility issues because the bowl stays steady while they eat. 

We recommend daily cleaning: wash water bowls nightly and food bowls after every meal (wet food) or at least once daily (dry food) to prevent bacteria buildup. Our bowls aredishwasher safe on a gentle/top-rack cycle, but to preserve finish and lifespan we recommendhand washing with warm soapy wateror using the top rack only — and avoid high-heat sanitising cycles unless the product label confirms it. For hygiene, use a dedicated sponge and rotate with a second bowl if possible. 

Designed for both dogs and cats, the bowl comes in multiple sizes (small, large):

• Small — ideal for cats, toy breeds, and water bowls.
• Large — for medium/large breeds or multi-pet households.
  Choose based on your pet’s breed, portion size and whether you plan to use it for food, water or both.

• Hand-wash regularly and dry fully before storing.
• Avoid leaving wet food to sit for long periods; rinse sooner to prevent staining or odor.
• Don’t use abrasive scrubbers that could roughen the surface.
• If used outdoors, rinse and dry after exposure to sunlight to reduce weathering.
• Replace the bowl if you notice cracks, deep scratches or persistent odors.
