Product Information

If choosing a plastic or silicone item, make sure it's nontoxic and free from BPA, phthalates, and other potentially hazardous materials. If your dog likes to chew, these might not always be the best choice because they can gnaw off pieces. If your furry friend is better described as a beast than a dog, then this is the slow-feed bowl for you. Me – lover of dogs and coffee! Dropper of the 40-pound bag of food. Unprofessional photographer and enthusiastic reviewer.

It turned out that a slow-feed bowl was as much puzzle as she could handle – it honestly added 30 minutes to her feeding time. When it comes to stainless steel dog bowls, this is as good as it gets. Mr. Peanut’s is a family-owned business that tests all the products they manufacture on their own dogs… And, it shows. The simpler the feeder is, the better it will work with wet or raw food. Definitely make sure your feeder is dishwasher safe if using wet food," Robinson says. Other stainless steel bowls either made the gap too wide, allowing dogs easy access to the food, or too tight, preventing them from eating altogether.

By placing a tennis ball in your dog’s bowl, your dog will be forced to eat around it, slowing down his mealtime. Not only is this undesirable for your dog, but also for you, who now has to clean up a mess of dog food crumbs. I found the product to be sturdy and well-designed. However, the edges of the bowl and ridges on the inside made it too difficult for Olivia, our flat-faced dog, to reach the food. The Dogit Go Slow Bowl comes in a single design, available in four different sizes ranging from extra small to large.

For starters, it required a spoon to mash the food into the gaps of the maze. If you skipped this step, the food would sit awkwardly on top of the bowl – which didn’t slow down mealtime. Maybe it was just my muffin pans, but all dogs – large and small – were able to tip and spill their food when they placed a foot on the edge of the pan. How do the slow-feed dog bowls achieve that? Well, it’s actually quite clever – the bowl features raised sections that prevent your dog from eating his food all at once.Nero’s testing may not be quite as dainty as Maya’s but we all have different ways of approaching meal time. Once again Nero, not to be outsmarted took one look at the bowl, emptied the contents and devoured his meal. This one remained intact however. Phew. Nero’s thorough testing methods on the bowl Details The filter is a little confusing – the water doesn’t actually flow thru filter, but rather around it. It doesn’t seem to actually filter the water, but definitely needs replacement and can get moldy. The documentation from UPSKY suggests that you replace the filter every 2-3 months. The Animal Planet Maze Feeder holds an impressive amount of food – up to 10 cups. Even if you use the largest-sized kibble, you’ll be hard-pressed to fill this bowl to capacity. The shape and spacing of the ridges in a slow feeder bowl will impact how hard it is to use. If your dog gets frustrated easily, you might want to choose a dish with fewer obstacles. If your dog likes puzzles and challenges, then opt for a bowl with deeper grooves and more complex patterns. The best-performing ceramic slow feeder, the Magisso Happy Pet Project Ceramic Bowl, was unsuited for wider snouts and flat faces. The sizing also ran small making this bowl unsuitable for larger dogs.
