Offering a meal to a stray dog often means giving it to them in a plastic container, so these edible dog food bowls are intended to be a no-mess, zero-waste way to feed hungry dogs. Designed by Namik Yigit Ildas, the dog bowls are created using tortellini bread and are molded into the shape of a bowl before being baked in the oven. This enables them to be used to offer stray dogs a meal or even for use with one's own pet when they're out of the house.
The edible dog food bowls help to eliminate the plastic waste that can be created when a bowl of food is left for a stray dog. After the main course has been finished, the bowl can be consumed by the dog for an extra bit of nutrition.
