Patriotic Dog Bowls Also Help Homeless PetsMaker LazyBonezz donates proceeds from these stars and stripes dog bowls to the Humane Society of New York. No end-of-summer BBQ is complete without a pup or two happily running around. And with Labor Day right around the corner, the LazyBonezz metallic stars and stripes dog bowls are an excellent option to help four-legged family members stay hydrated and satiated in the backyard.Each of these ceramic containers ($19 per bowl) holds about 20 ounces or 2.5 cups of food or water – plenty for multiple rounds of chase and other yard games. The stars-and-stripes motif is patriotic and also modern with a black, silver, and gold color scheme. It’s fitting with the company that introduced the Metropolitan – an innovative, high-gloss pet bunk bed – and has added trendy accessories, storage solutions, toys, and gear to its product line.Aside from knowing you’re getting a classic yet cool pet product, the great thing about ordering gear from LazyBonezz.com is that a portion of the proceeds goes directly to the Humane Society of New York. The organization has been benefiting animals for more than 110 years and helps tens of thousands of cats and dogs annually.The long holiday weekend is a great time to give your pet some extra outdoor play, with new bowls full of refreshment upon his or her return. Make it a charitable act and everyone wins. Whitney C. HarrisWhitney is a New York-based writer for websites including Dogster, StrollerTraffic, Brides.com, and WhattoExpect.com.
