Who among us doesn't love animals? At GotGlass, we absolutely adore them <3. That's why we've decided to expand our 'standard' range to include glass plates and bowls for cats and dogs. Because what your pet eats from matters! Our products are made from high-quality recycled glass. Both the color of the dish and the decorative graphics are applied externally using organic paints, ensuring the bowl is completely safe for your pet. The beechwood base adds an extra touch, not only stabilizing the bowl but also providing high comfort during meals. As you know, our products are always 'on trend', so by choosing a dog bowl or cat plate from GotGlass, you can be sure they will become the perfect addition to your interior 🙂

The products are packaged in two ways: a standard, reinforced box for transport, and a second, gift packaging.
In the meantime, here are some dietary tips for your pets – what you definitely should not feed them!
1. Chocolate
At the top of the list of bad foods for dogs is one you've probably heard about most often – chocolate. Theobromine, an ingredient in all chocolate, is not harmful to humans but is toxic to dogs. It can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and excessive thirst in dogs, but on the more extreme side, it can cause abnormal heart rhythms, seizures, tremors, or death. So we advise keeping sweets, especially chocolate, for yourself ;).
2. Milk and dairy
Since pets do not have significant amounts of lactase (the enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk), milk and other dairy products cause diarrhea or other digestive issues.
3. Raw/undercooked meat, eggs, and bones
Raw meat and raw eggs can contain bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, which can be harmful to both animals and humans. Raw eggs contain an enzyme called avidin, which decreases the absorption of biotin (a B vitamin), potentially leading to skin and coat problems. Feeding pets raw bones might seem like a natural and healthy option that could occur if an animal lived in the wild. However, it can be very dangerous for a domestic pet, which might choke on bones or suffer serious injury if a bone splinters and gets stuck in the digestive tract or pierces it.
4. Salty and salty snacks
Large amounts of salt can cause excessive thirst and urination, and even sodium ion poisoning in pets. Signs that an animal might have eaten too much salty food include vomiting, diarrhea, strange limb tremors, elevated body temperature, and even death. Therefore, we encourage avoiding giving your pets any snacks high in salt.
So, let's remember our pets not only by looking at what they eat but also what they eat from 🙂 – Welcome!
