Eco-friendly dog bowls
An eco-friendly dog bowl is usually one made from a plant-based material like wheat straw rather than standard plastic, cutting down on new plastic without asking you to give up a bowl that is dishwasher safe and easy to keep clean. It looks and feels much like an ordinary bowl — the difference is what it is made from.
What 'eco' actually means on a bowl
The Tarhong Bevel Dog & Cat Bowl – Eco-Friendly Wheat Straw is built from a blend of wheat straw fibre and polypropylene rather than plastic alone, and comes with a non-slip base in four colours and two sizes. The Tarhong Pet Feeding Tray — Wheat Straw Blend uses the same idea in a tray shape, useful for a dog who prefers a shallower dish or for serving a wet meal alongside dry food.
Neither of these asks you to compromise on the practical side of a bowl — both are dishwasher safe and BPA-free, which matters more day to day than the material they are made from. If your dog is a chewer, treat any bowl the same way you would plastic: it is for feeding out of, not for chewing on.
Choosing the right shape and size
Beyond the material, the same questions apply as any dog bowl — a wide, shallow shape suits flat-faced breeds who struggle to reach into a deep bowl, while a narrower dish keeps long ears out of the food for spaniels and setters. Non-slip bases matter for enthusiastic eaters who push a lightweight bowl across the floor as they go.
If you feed more than one dog, having a couple of extra bowls on hand means mealtimes do not turn into a queue, and a dishwasher-safe option makes that easier to keep on top of than something that needs hand-washing every time.

Common questions
- Are eco-friendly dog bowls as durable as plastic ones?
- Wheat-straw blend bowls like the Tarhong range mix the plant fibre with a small amount of polypropylene specifically to keep the durability of a normal plastic bowl, so day to day they hold up the same way — dishwasher safe and resistant to the odd knock or drop.
- Can eco dog bowls go in the dishwasher?
- Yes, the wheat-straw bowls we stock are dishwasher safe, which is worth checking on any eco bowl before buying since some plant-based materials are more delicate than others and are better hand-washed instead.
- Is a wheat straw bowl safe for a dog with allergies?
- Wheat straw used in bowl manufacturing is the stalk of the plant rather than the grain, and it becomes part of a moulded, sealed material rather than something your dog eats from directly, so it is not the same as a dietary wheat sensitivity. If you are ever unsure, check with your vet.
- What size bowl does my dog need?
- It depends on breed and appetite more than a fixed rule — a wide, shallow bowl suits flat-faced breeds and a narrower one keeps long ears clear for spaniel-type dogs, so it is worth choosing shape around your dog's face and ears rather than only their size.
