Heritage & History
Basis Pet was founded in 2012 with a straightforward premise: American pet owners deserved pet bowls made with the same material standards applied to human food-contact products. The company started with a question that had no satisfying answer in the marketplace — where exactly are most pet bowls made, and what are they made of?
The founders sourced 304 series stainless steel exclusively from U.S. mills and set up manufacturing in Vermont, with additional production in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Rather than accepting supplier certifications at face value, Basis Pet established a policy of independent third-party testing for lead, mercury, and cadmium on every production batch. That testing protocol, unusual in the pet products industry, became the core of the brand's identity.
Made in Vermont
Basis Pet manufactures its stainless steel bowls at facilities in Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, using steel sourced entirely from American mills. The company specifies 304 series stainless steel, the same alloy used in commercial food service equipment and surgical instruments, chosen for its corrosion resistance and absence of reactive coatings.
Every batch of finished bowls undergoes independent laboratory testing for heavy metals before it ships. The test results are available to customers on request. This level of supply-chain transparency is rare in pet products, where import labeling requirements are less stringent than for human food. For owners who feed raw diets or have chemically sensitive pets, Basis Pet's documentation of materials sourcing and test results provides accountability that most competitors cannot match.
