The new feeding and storage collection brings OXO's human-centered approach to one of the fastest-growing categories in the home, making everyday pet care simpler, cleaner, and better designed.
As pet ownership has evolved, so have consumer expectations. Today's pet parents expect products that solve real problems without sacrificing thoughtful design. OXO saw an opportunity to rethink everyday feeding and storage through the same lens that has guided the brand for decades: understanding real frustrations and creating intuitive, beautifully designed solutions that improve everyday routines.
"At OXO, we've always believed thoughtful design has the power to improve everyday life," said Larry Witt, President, Home & Outdoor at Helen of Troy. "Pet parents shouldn't have to compromise between performance and design. We approached this collection the same way we approach every OXO product: by understanding everyday frustrations and creating thoughtful solutions that make caring for pets simpler, cleaner, and more enjoyable."
The launch reflects OXO's continued commitment to bringing exceptional design to everyday categories where thoughtful innovation can make the biggest difference. Designed to address shared challenges pet parents face, including messy mealtimes, fast eaters and bulky food storage, the collection combines intuitive functionality with a clean, modern aesthetic.
Launching August 3, 2026, the feeding collection includes:
- Nonslip Bowls (1, 2, and 4 Cup): A stainless-steel bowl with a removable, weighted nonslip base that helps prevent tipping while making cleanup easy.
- Easy Clean Slow Feeder Bowls: A removable silicone insert encourages slower eating and allows the bowl to be cleaned thoroughly.
- Easy Clean Feeding Mat: Raised edges help contain spills and keep feeding areas cleaner.
- Adjustable Elevated Feeder: Adjustable height settings provide a more comfortable feeding position for pets while complementing modern home décor.
Every product reflects OXO's commitment to thoughtful details that simplify everyday routines, from removable components and easy-to-clean materials to intuitive features that improve the experience for both pets and their owners. Later this year, OXO will expand the collection with thoughtfully designed storage solutions that help keep food, treats and everyday pet essentials fresh, organized and easily accessible.
The storage collection includes:
- Airtight Treat Container (8 oz): One-handed dispensing and an airtight seal help keep treats fresh.
- Multi-Purpose Container: A stackable storage solution for treats, toys, leashes, and other pet essentials.
- Airtight Food Containers with Scoop (Small, 25 lb., and 35 lb.): Airtight storage with easy-open latches, integrated scoops, wheels on select sizes, angled bases for easier dispensing, and clear visibility into food levels.
Availability
The OXO Pet feeding collection will be available beginning August 3, 2026, at major retailers nationwide, oxo.com and Amazon. Pet food storage solutions will launch in late 2026.
