3-in-1 Slow Feeder Puzzle Bowl

Mealtime turns into a small puzzle with this green feeder. Three textured tiers spin, so your dog has to sniff, lick and paw at the food to work it free, which stretches a quick meal into something slower and more engaging. The same surface doubles as a lick mat when you spread peanut butter or wet food across it.

The bowl holds up to 2 cups (about 475 ml) and works with kibble, wet food, raw food and spreads. It is sized with medium and large dogs in mind. The packed box measures about 11.8 x 11.8 x 3.1 in (300 x 300 x 80 mm) and weighs about 1.8 lb (800 g), a solid weight for a plastic feeder. The plastic is described as BPA-, PVC- and phthalate-free, and the bowl is described as top-rack dishwasher safe.

Start with a small amount of kibble in the easiest spots so your dog learns how the tiers turn, then add more as they get the hang of it. Because the textured surface has grooves, wet food and spreads can stick, so rinse the bowl soon after use. Supervise the first few meals, and swap to a plain bowl if your dog gets frustrated or tries to chew the plastic.
