Slow Feeder Dog Bowl

Description

A slow feeder dog bowl for the dog who inhales dinner

If your dog finishes a bowl in under a minute, they are swallowing air with every mouthful. That is what causes the burping, the bloated belly and, in deep-chested breeds, something far more serious. A slow feeder dog bowl puts ridges in the way so your dog has to work food out of the channels instead of gulping it.

Why a maze bowl works

The raised sections split one big pile of food into lots of small ones. Your dog eats the same meal, just in twenty small mouthfuls instead of three big ones. Most owners see meals stretch from under a minute to five or six.

What you get

• Moulded maze that slows eating without hiding food
• Non-slip base so it does not skate across the kitchen floor
• Works for dry and wet food — the channels are wide enough to clean
• Dishwasher safe, top rack

Which size for your dog

This is a puzzle bowl for small and medium dogs and works for most large breeds too. If you have a giant breed or a very flat face (Pug, Frenchie, Boxer), check the channel depth on the measurements — flat-faced dogs need shallower ridges to reach the food comfortably.

Getting started

Some dogs take a day or two to work it out. Start with slightly less food than usual so the first few meals feel like a win, and never use it to feed a dog who is already anxious about food.

⚠ Wash before first use.
Rinse in warm soapy water and dry before your dog’s first meal. If your dog has only ever eaten from a flat bowl, put a smaller portion in for the first few days — the point is to slow them down, not to frustrate them.
