SLOW YOUR DOGS EATING TIME -- The slow feeding bowl is carefully designed to slow down feeding but not be so frustrating the dog gives up. Unlike regular bowls, dog slow feeder bowls are also vet recommended, which takes the hassle out of second-guessing if your bowl is actually benefiting your dog (and your dog’s stomach).

The lower ridges and more open design allowed our hungry pooch to reach her meal while still providing enough of a challenge to slow down her eating.

It goes without saying that slow-feeder bowls are more challenging to clean than your regular dog bowl. This helps to normalise digestion, and make dogs more engaged and less frantic about their mealtimes.
