The ModaPet Story

ModaPet, Inc. is owned by NorthStar Investors, Inc.. Prior to ModaPet, NorthStar Investors owned Drinkwell, makers of the Original Pet Fountain. Drinkwell was sold in 2010 and NorthStar wanted to remain in the pet industry.

After looking at numerous products and opportunities, ModaPet was started. As there are already many bowls in the marketplace today, ModaPet worked with several designers to create a unique product that would address the needs identified by end users. The bowl would need to be durable, dishwasher safe, and include a non-skid element to address preferred features.

ModaPet achieved all of the above and did so at a reasonable price point. Value was the goal. The bowls were made of ABS plastic that is food grade and BPA free. The material allows for a durable end product. We use a manufacturer that is very familiar with ABS and also manufactures aquariums. The finish on our bowls is a beautiful glossy look. Some have compared the appearance to glass or porcelain.

The base is a TPE plastic. This material meets two of our design objectives. The TPE is a soft plastic, similar to rubber, to aid in the non-skid feature. In addition, TPE is a plastic and is overmolded to the ABS for a solid bond. The overmold makes our bowls dishwasher safe. If rubber were used, then the base would be glued. Glue would breakdown after a couple of dishwasher cycles, and separate.

The bowls are designed by individuals with backgrounds in the pet industry, but also the medical field, sports, and other diverse orientations. The bowls were intentionally void of bone, paw prints, and whisker motifs. The designs are rich and clean.
