Silicone Slow Feeder Bowl with Lick Mat Design

Dogs that inhale their food can use something that makes them work for it, and this silicone bowl is shaped with ridges and nooks so the food is spread out and takes longer to eat. It works with dry, wet, fresh or raw food, and the same surface turns into a lick mat when you smear on a treat.

The bowl measures 7.5 x 1.5 in (19 x 3.8 cm) and weighs 11.2 oz (317 g). That makes it a shallow, wide dish, best for small to medium portions; a large dog on a big meal may need to be fed in two servings. The silicone is flexible, and it is described as dishwasher safe. Choose from beige, mango yellow, charcoal ash, mustard green or red.

Set the bowl on a non-slip surface and watch the first few meals to see how your dog handles the pattern. Wash it after every use, because wet food and oils collect in the grooves, and use a brush for the narrow spots. For lick-mat use, spread a thin layer of a dog-safe spread and stay nearby while your dog licks.
