For those of us who treat our pets as well, if not better, than ourselves, the Le Creuset Pet Collection is the perfect way to reward both of you. Anyone lucky enough to share their home with a four-legged chum knows how fetid their dinner bowl can become from wayward kibble and airborne drool, not to mention a general lack of style from most manufacturers. So it was only a matter of time before a brand with a dash of panache and forward thinking came to our rescue.

Premium French cookware label Le Creuset is known around the globe for its luxe enamelled cast iron cookware, and now it’s added canines and cats to its long list of satisfied customers. Its brand-new Pet Collection features large, medium and elevated food bowls in the Le Creuset signature colours of cerise, Marseille and shiny black, as well as a snappy pet food container with matching scoop in cerise. So whether your family includes a Siamese, lab or great dane, these stylish and practical pieces will meet both their needs and yours. Head online to browse the collection or pop into the Le Creuset store on Edward Street in Brisbane City or Pacific Fair on the Gold Coast.
