This raises the question - why are you advertising for them?

I appreciate the idea of not giving bad companies press. However, I still think it's worth while to point out when a company is doing wrong, even if it garners them some attention. I feel the same is true for companies employing sweat shops for example; to uncover the companie's practices and try to effect change, one must mention the company.
Thanks for the article Jasmine, and providing a link to the company allows us to contact the company make suggestions.
Best,
Oscar

Finally, a device made for someone too lazy to use a dishwasher. If they are this lazy with the food dish I wonder how nasty the litter box must be.

Why not just have disposable pets? Wouldn't that be easier? Why feed 'em? Just keep 'em as long as they last without the inconvenience and yuckiness of dealing with their food?

What if the liner was made out of soy- or corn-based plastics that biodegraded? Or if it was recyclable plastic? Would that save more energy than washing a seven pet bowls a week? (Or washing one pet bowl seven times?)

Wow seven times a week? My dog's bowl gets washed maybe once a month. I don't feel that the cleanliness of their dog bowl is particularly important, since if they were living in nature they'd be eating off the ground.

the time, energy, water, money... etc. used to produce a soy or corn or recycled product would far surpass the water used to clean out a dish.

Who washes a pet bowl every day? We maybe washed out cat dishes once a week and they lived long, happy lives.

the argument that using a disposable product is better than using the water to clean something to use it again seems to come up a lot. Common sense should be enough to answer this question.
I dont know how anyone can argue or even hint that you can "save more energy" by using disposables. You can almost guarantee that as much if not more water was used in fabrication alone when you count that oil would have been used as well as other resources on top of that and the fact that plastic is a toxic and dangerous material to the earth. (google: plastic islands in the ocean).
even if you were insane and washed your pet bowl twice a day washing would still be a far better option overall than using a disposable.
Who approves these products anyway? Why cant we just save the energy of even having a product like this debut in the first place.

Our dog cleans her own stainless steel bowl. There is nothing leftover when she's done inhaling her food and licking up every single molecule of food. There's nothing left to clean!

Sometimes these products just make me want to pound my head on the desk from sheer frustration. I love pets, but I can't see using disposable dishes for them. On a trip they'd take more room than carrying a single reusable bowl, even beyond the sheer waste of it all.

What kind of fruit loop washes out a pet's food bowl every day?!?! We're talking about something that licks his own hinney several times a day! (Eww.... these are probably the same people that kiss their dog in the mouth) I can see washing it if there was something fuzzy and growing in it because I thought it was gross but please, have you ever noticed what your pet will eat and drink if left alone? Week old food scraps, dead animals, and drinking out of mud holes or any other water source. They were gifted with an instinct to know what biological things to stay away from (obviously that instinct doesn't cover many man made chemicals). Save the earth..... don't wash OR dispose of the bowl!

Wow, I Can't believe what I'm reading here!!!
These people are disgusting! How can you say you're a caring and loving pet owner if you only wash your pet's bowl once a week or even worse, ONCE A MONTH!!!! That is OUTRAGEOUS!
Someone said "if they were living in nature they'd be eating off the ground". Yes, that is true, but it's totally different than knowingly allowing your pet's bowl to sit there collecting bacteria. Do you have any idea how much bacteria and germs will end up in your pet's feeding bowl if you keep reusing it without washing it??? Everytime you feed your pet they will ingest some really dangerous stuff which can cause serious health problems and even death!
Personally, I wash and sterilize my dogs feeding bowls and water bowls on a daily basis (after EVERY feeding) - would you give your child a dirty dish to eat out of and only wash it once a month? If you would, then you have some serious issues and should not be allowed to have children.
And to the people that don't wash their pets bowls every day, YOU PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE THE PRIVELAGE OF OWNING A PET!!!!! THIS IS BORDERLINE ABUSE! They are counting on you to look out for their well being and you are failing them tremendously! I'd like to give you a filthy dish to eat your dinner off of and see how you like it!
WOW, IT IS JUST DISTURBING TO KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE NO CLUE!
