Imagine you're driving along the expressway with your pooch, and you decide to stop for a snack at a service area. If you happen to be in Japan, you can now get a bento box for yourself... and your pup. "Dora Bento Pochi" are gourmet boxed meals for dogs available at eight different service stops in the Tokyo area.
The East Nippon Expressway Co. has produced bento boxes in the past, but this is the first time they have created anything expressly for dogs and, by my account, the first, fresh canine cuisine to be sold at rest stops anywhere.
So, what's in the box? With no preservatives or additives, you'll find prime chicken breast, unpolished-rice based bread, vegetable soups, seasoning, and a rice cracker for dessert. Better yet, the lid can be turned over to serve as a water dish.
What do you think?

You can get anything in Japan - I'm amazed
1So spoiled!!!
2I think it's kind of cool
3its cool! spoiled is the honda that you can buy in Japan, where there is a separate compartment for the dog (in the passenger side).
4I'd buy it! For special occasions like Fuji's birthday...or a holiday... // It's not being spoiled. It's fresh healthy food for my dog. =)
5this is very cool
6There's nothing wrong with spoiling your pet!!
7I don't know if I'd feed this to them, that kind of food can upset some pet's stomachs esp if you're used to a certain kind of food.
8Really, if my dog needs to eat its not spoiling him its just feeding him. I would FOR SURE use this product if i was without food for my lil guy.
9This is vastly better than feeding the dog processed, fried human food that people usually get in drive-thrus and allow their dogs to eat. I am an advocate for good, high-quality food, so I like this on the front. I also like that it lets you share something w/your dog. So sweet! ♥
10Yes for health, but my dog trainer told me that dogs don't have tastebuds, so what's with the seasonings?
11OK, I just had to clear something up about the comment that there's nothing wrong with spoiling your pet.
12There's nothing wrong with REWARDING your pet with healthy snacks and praise, but these things must be used sparingly so they are connected with good behavior. LOVING your pet is to be done constantly (except when they are being bad). SPOILING your pet leads to obesity and bad temperament.
I know I'm nitpicking, but I think it's important to question which one you are really doing.
Spoiled sweet!!!
13Thats a cute idea, I wouldn't mind buying that as a special treat.
14Wow!!! I love it! I wish they had something like that here.
15If I gave that to my dogs they would puke all over the car :lol So i think I would pass on it.
16i like this
17Every person...and pet likes in indulge occasionally.
18I don't like clothes and all that nonsense, but fresh food and then a water dish? Hell yes! My pup would need food and water as much as love and protection! He'd get the munchies like me if we were out trekking in the city all day!
19its funny, cool and totally japanese!?
20its funny, cool and totally japanese!?
21I think it's a great idea! My 2 dogs LOVE to travel with me!
22japan has all the good stuff. I think I am packing up and leaving the states for the land of cucumber melon pepsi.
23its kinda nice because what if you are hungry and your pet needs food?but its also spoiling your pet quite a bit.a once in a while thing.
24Love the idea! It would be a change from the regular food. If I'm going to spoil myself, why not her too
