Designing a better world for all pets

Meet the Boss: Miss B.

There’s a lot she loves. Like pretending to be a heat pack while she lies on humans. She also loves sniffing her way up and down a hiking trail, tracking scents. She’d make an excellent sniffer dog. But most of all, she loves her human: Michelle.

Miss B is one lucky pooch. She can sniff and snooze happily, thanks to a rescue group who snuck her out of a puppy mill in Thailand. Back then, she was one sick puppy—she had a bacterial infection, skin fungus, itching, ear mites, and pneumonia.

Like most rescue pups, she needed a lot of love: vaccines, medical treatments, teeth cleaning, microchipping, neutering, nutrition, and a one way ticket to America where Michelle would eventually find her.

Their connection was instant. The adoption was easy. They went home and got straight to work: giving love to other pets around the world.

Feed the Love

With 15 years experience in interior design, Michelle creates elevated pet bowls to help pets digest food properly and their humans to decorate their home.

Feel the Love

Every bowl does good: a portion of our profits is donated to pet rescue groups, helping other pets like Miss B find their very own Michelle.

Miss B. and Michelle are on a mission to lend a Helpen hand and paw to all pets: those already in loving homes and those who don't know what home is. Until now.

What's in the Name?

Helpen • Hel pen (verb - to help, to aid): stands for help in Dutch, which is exactly what we do. We help get animals off the street, into warm arms, good health, and their own collar.

Because we’re more than designer elevated bowls for your pet: we’re a second chance for someone else’s. 

The purchase of every bowl goes towards feeding a homeless pet for 2 weeks and together, we’re helping to put other pets into loving homes.

We won’t stop until every tail is wagging and every dog or cat knows what love is. It all starts at your home: with you, your own pet, and their bowl.

Lend a Helpen paw and feed the love.

Freckles, Tia and Star all were rescued off the streets by Hand to Paw, one of the rescues we partner with.

We Have Three Core Values:

a.k.a. Pet Loves

  • We care about our pets

    Our pets are our family. So we want the best for them. It’s why our bowls come in different heights—to look after the digestion of your Dalmatians or your Corgis. It’s also why we pay premium for stainless steel food grade bowls. A better meal-time, whatever shape or size your pet love comes in.

  • We care about all pets

    Pets without collars need love too. Every animal deserves a doggie door to call home and a human to call theirs. We’re finding homes and humans for as many pets as possible, through partnering with rescue groups. 

  • We care about good design

    With 15 years interior design experience, we know good style. We also know a well-decorated home brings love and well-being to all who enter, down to the pet bowl. We put love into our bowl designs; longer an after-thought but an important accessory to any home.

*Not all Stainless Steel is the same – many OTHER bowls contain high levels of lead. Each batch of our stainless-steel bowls is tested by an independent lab to confirm that it's high quality, 304 series (sometimes called 18/8) stainless steel. This testing checks the levels of lead, mercury and cadmium to make sure they are up to 304 grade standards.
