Product Overview
Dogs that inhale their dinner in twenty seconds tend to pay for it afterwards. This stainless steel slow feeder bowl uses a raised paw or bone pattern moulded into the base to break one big gulp into many small ones, so your dog has to eat around the ridges instead of swallowing the lot. Unlike the plastic maze bowls most owners start with, it is made from thickened stainless steel — non-porous, chew resistant and easy to keep genuinely clean.

Important Information
- Only one size is offered (Large). The manufacturer does not publish exact dimensions, so check the listing images against your dog before ordering if space is tight.
- The two patterns differ in the raised design on the base — both work the same way.
- Wet food and pastes sit in the ridges, so rinse straight after meals for the easiest cleanup.
- Introduce a slow feeder gradually. Some dogs need a few meals to work out the new routine.
- Supervise a dog who chews at their bowl, as with any feeding dish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a slow feeder bowl work?
The raised pattern in the base leaves only small pockets of food between the ridges, so your dog has to nose and lick their way around rather than take one big mouthful.
Is it better than a plastic slow feeder?
Stainless steel does not scratch or stain, and scratched plastic is exactly where bacteria and odours build up. It is also much harder for a determined chewer to damage.
Will it work for a cat?
Yes. The bowl is listed for cats as well as dogs, though the large size means it suits dogs best.
Can I use wet food in it?
You can. Rinse it soon after the meal so food does not dry into the pattern.
Will my dog just tip it over?
The thickened body and anti-tipping design make that harder than with a light plastic bowl, and the non-slip base keeps it from sliding across the floor.
What is the difference between the paw and bone patterns?
Only the look of the raised design. Both slow eating down in the same way, so pick whichever you prefer.
