3 2 PET TRADE WORLD OCTOBER 2009www. pettradeworld. com Glee News and New Products Product - Complete Super Premium Hypo- allergenic Dog Food Product - Becobowl Company - Becothings What we liked - An eco- friendly alternative to the common pet bowl. Made from rice husks - a waste product of rice farming, the Becobowl is not only 100% sustainable but also biodegradable. Product Details - The Becobowl looks and feels very similar to a conventional plastic pet bowl. It is tough and durable and will last just as long in the home as it's plastic or metal counterpart. The big diff erence is that once it is disposed of in landfi ll or a compost heap, the bowls breaks down naturally. Manufacturer Statement - " At Becothings we are constantly striving to take the hassle out of being eco friendly in our everyday lives," says Toby Massey. " A pet bowl is obviously a necessity for anyone who owns small animals, but until now it has been impossible not to send this essential item straight to landfi ll when it is disposed of. The Becobowl will last just as long as your average pet bowl, but animal lovers can be sure that they are also planet lovers when they throw the Becobowl away, too." RRP - Large Bowl £ 4.99, small Bowl £ 2.99 Contact Details - Telephone: + 44 208 274 0836 Email: toby@ becothings. com ¦ Company - What we liked - The food is wheat and wheat gluten free, developed by nutritional experts and contains only the fi nest quality ingredients with a high meat content ( 26%). Manufacturer Statement - Managing Director, Antoon Murphy, says: " Our food is of the highest quality and is comparable to many more well known premium brands, but without the premium price! A 15kg bag of our Super Premium Hypo- allergenic Chicken & Rice comes in at just £ 20 plus VAT and retails for £ 33. That is well over £ 10 a bag less than some of the better known brands." The Antos food is available in 15kg and 2kg compostable bags which is taking the environment into consideration. Antos have started with three varieties including Chicken & Rice, Lamb & Rice and Salmon & Potato with a Puppy Chicken & Rice available at the end of September.
