Slow Feeder Dog Bowl with Raised Ridges

This dog bowl has raised ridges and posts in the base, so your dog has to work around them to reach the food. That slows down fast eaters and turns a quick meal into a short puzzle. It is made of PP plastic and comes in pink, blue, green or yellow, with a few ridge patterns to pick from.

The bowl measures about 7.9 inches across and 1.8 inches deep (20 x 4.5 x 20 cm) and weighs about 9.2 oz (260 g), so it is light enough to move and stack. You can use it for dry food, wet food or a little water, and it is easy to fill.

To get started, fill the bowl with a normal portion and set it on a non-slip mat or a towel so it does not slide on a hard floor. Watch your dog for the first few meals; some dogs take to it at once, others need a few tries, and you can add a splash of water to loose food to help it settle in the grooves.

The grooves can trap food, so wash it after every meal with warm soapy water and a soft brush. The depth is shallow, so it suits a modest portion rather than a large helping.
