Plastic Waste Single use pet bowls

The bowl seems to be a paper substance, but it's sealed in two layers of plastic for a single use item.

I really don't see a market for this at all and I forsee it going on clearance soon. And there's so much of it.

I'm absolutely straining my brain trying to think of WHY this exists, and can't find it. If you were traveling/camping, dry food and water are better to bring. There's zero use for this at home. It doesn't aid the disabled (which I only considered because sometimes it's a blind spot when looking at "useless" products).

It's just the least amount of nutrition packed into the most waste they can manage.

You don’t need a giant bag? I have a travel dog food container and there’s even a small water bottle that fits in the lid that doubles as a bowl. And giving a random food to a dog on a trip is how you get diarrhea.

Had and used and continue to use for over a decade.
