Ensnaring Dog Dishes

The Trap Bowl Takes a Comically Torturous Look for Your Furry Friend

— January 30, 2014 — Art & Design
Dog owners are far too fond of their furry friends to have the Trap Bowl exist as an actual operational snare. While a working concept might be appealing to entice and entrap backyard pests, this playful platter simply poses as a dangerous device.

Designed by Lightfog, this doggy dish is made from plastic material and defined by a mold to look like a jagged jaw type of animal trap. Faux hinges protrude from the sides of the circular kibble container and spiky teeth point sharply upwards. Of course, the Trap Bowl is sufficiently humane not to actually present any honed edges. When your canine eats his dog food from the Trap Bowl, he will be unaware of the visual joke, making it humorous just for the master.
