Stainless Steel Slow Feeder Dog Bowl with Raised Ridges

Fast eaters tend to empty a flat bowl in seconds. This bowl has a raised center hub and curved ridges molded into the base, so kibble settles into the channels between them and your dog has to work around the obstacles to reach it. The idea is simply a slower, more deliberate meal.

The whole bowl is stainless steel, with a polished finish and a low, wide shape that sits steady on the floor. Stainless steel does not hold on to smells the way some plastics do, and a smooth surface wipes clean without much effort. It weighs about 13 oz (370 g), so it has some heft but is easy to lift and refill.

Pour in a measured portion of dry food and set it down on a non-slip mat or a floor you do not mind getting a little wet. After meals, wash it by hand with warm soapy water, getting into the grooves with a soft brush so nothing dries onto the ridges, then dry it fully. Because the food sits in channels, wet or sticky food will need a bit more scrubbing than a smooth bowl.
