This slow feeder bowl has a wide, shallow shape with a patterned interior full of raised walls, ridges, and maze-like sections. These obstacles spread the food out and force pets to eat around them instead of scooping large mouthfuls at once.
Materials:
- Made from tough, food-grade plastic that is free of BPA and other harmful chemicals. The material resists scratches and stains while staying safe for daily contact with food.
- Many versions include a thick, rubberized ring or pads on the bottom to keep the bowl from sliding across floors.
Colors:
Comes in a variety of solid shades such as blue, green, pink,red, and purple. The colors stay bright even after repeated washing.
Main features:
- The interior pattern varies by model—simple swirls for milder slowing, complex mazes for stronger challenge.
- Raised sections separate food into smaller pockets, extending mealtime significantly.
- A non-slip base holds the bowl steady on hard floors or tiles during enthusiastic eating.
- Most sizes hold enough food for small to large pets, and the wide opening makes it easy to fill and portion.
Application areas:
- Works well for dogs and cats that gulp food quickly.
- It suits breeds prone to bloat or those needing weight management.
- Use with dry kibble, wet food, or a mix.
- Place on the floor for regular meals or occasional treats to keep pets occupied longer.
Precautions:
- Wash thoroughly before first use and after each meal to maintain hygiene—most are dishwasher-safe on the top rack.
- Check the non-slip ring occasionally for wear and clean under it to prevent buildup.
- Not meant for aggressive chewers who might try to bite the edges. Supervise new users to ensure they adapt to the pattern without frustration.
- Avoid overfilling, as food piled too high reduces the slowing effect.
