Two sizes exist for a reason. A scoop that suits a Labrador is comically oversized for a cat, and one that suits a cat means four trips into the kibble bin for a big dog's dinner. Picking the size that matches your pet's actual portion is what makes a scoop worth owning, because from then on one level scoop simply is the meal and nobody has to think about it.

Both versions are moulded from BPA-free melamine, which is the material choice that matters here. It is shatterproof and chip-resistant in a way that thin plastic is not, so it survives being dropped, buried in a bin of kibble and put through the dishwasher week after week without going cloudy or brittle. Food-safe throughout, and finished in blue to match the rest of the Tarhong range if you already own their bowls.

• Choose the Single or the Double capacity
• Single measures 8.89 x 21.59 cm
• BPA-free, food-safe melamine
• Break-, scratch- and chip-resistant
• Fully dishwasher safe
• Blue finish from the Tarhong Gibraltar range

On the two sizes. Both are intended for dry food, since wet or soaked food sticks in the bowl of the scoop and defeats the point.

Who it's for: Anyone feeding a measured dry diet, with the Single suiting cats and small dogs and the Double suiting Labradors, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers and other large breeds.
