Divine Doggie Dining: Whiner & Diner Pet Feeders

Whiner & Diner Pet Feeders

I am always impressed by companies and designers who can look at something that would normally be thrown away and imagine it as something much grander and more functional. I’m always telling my husband not to toss things in the trash because I want to “make something from it.” No inspiration has struck me yet (but for one kooky idea involving plastic hangers), so I love to see when others strike gold like this.

These pet feeders by Whiner & Diner reflect such an inspiration. They and handmade from wooden wine boxes marked with the names and logos of the vineyards they come from. And because they are available and several sizes and customizable, they can accommodate your four-legged friends no matter how big or small they are.

And of course there’s no sacrificing your decor. This is one doggie bowl you won’t want to hide. This would make a perfect gift for that friend of yours who is both a wine lover and a pet lover.

Why It’s Green:

  • Made from wine boxes that would otherwise be discarded

Price: $150-225


Is there anything in your household that you would normally throw away that you think you could turn into something useful? What is the item and what would you make with it? Leave a comment and let me know!

I love this idea cause we have 2 large dogs that have to really bend down to get into their bowl unless we put it up higher for them. I think that this is harder for them than people know- it must hurt their joints I would think. So I really like this idea!
