Silicone Mushroom Slow Feeder Bowl

The surface of this bowl is molded into a little scene: a mushroom house with clouds, leaves and a snail rising from the floor of the dish. Those raised shapes make food collect in the gaps, so your pet has to work around them instead of swallowing a whole meal in a few bites.

It is a shallow, round bowl about 8 in (20.3 cm) across and 1.7 in (4 cm) deep, made from silicone and weighing about 14.5 oz (410 g). The flexible material is softer than ceramic or steel, and it comes in two colors, brown and blue. One bowl is included.

Spread dry food or a small portion of wet food across the design and set the bowl on a flat floor. Wash by hand with warm water and mild soap, using a soft brush to reach the grooves, and let it dry before the next meal. With its low sides and shallow design, it suits modest portions better than a big scoop of kibble. If your pet likes to push dishes around, a non-slip mat underneath will keep it in place on smooth floors.
