Mountain-Ridge Slow Feeder Bowl for Dogs and Cats

The inside of this bowl is molded into a range of raised peaks, so food sits in the gaps between them. A pet can't scoop up a whole mouthful at once and has to work around the ridges, which stretches out mealtime for fast eaters. It is a good fit if your dog or cat tends to gulp dinner down.

The bowl is made from PP, a hard plastic, and comes in off-white or blue. The wide, shallow shape sits low to the floor. The listed footprint is about 10.6 by 10.6 inches (27 by 27 cm) and 2.4 inches (6 cm) deep, measured from the packaged item, and the bowl weighs about 10 oz (286 g), light enough to carry to the sink.

Use it for dry kibble or a small portion of wet food, and fill it only as far as the peaks allow. Because the surface is molded with dips and curves, give it a proper scrub with a soft brush after each meal to get into the gaps. Light plastic can slide on a smooth floor, so put a mat underneath if your pet pushes the bowl around.
