Zoofari

dog cat bowl slow eating

Description:

The Zoofari Slow-Eating Bowl is designed to help dogs and cats who tend to eat or drink too quickly. By slowing down the feeding process, the bowl supports better digestion, reduces gulping of food or water, and helps avoid issues such as vomiting, choking or bloating. Its smart design makes mealtime safer, more controlled and more comfortable for your pet.

✅ Key Features

• Slow-feeding interior design: The bowl includes internal ridges, raised shapes or maze-style patterns that force the pet to work slightly to reach food, thereby reducing eating speed.

• Suitable for both food and water: Some versions of the bowl support use with wet or dry food, and others may accommodate water or smaller portions.

• Stable base / non-slip: Many slow-feeding bowls utilise a rubber base or anti-slip feet to prevent the pet from tipping or sliding the bowl around.

• Durable, pet-safe materials: Made from materials safe for pets (food-grade plastic, ABS, or similar) that are easy to clean and maintain.

• Designed for dogs & cats: The size and design make this bowl appropriate for both, although you should pick the size best suited to your pet’s breed and feeding needs.

• Helps support portion control & safer feeding: Slower feeding means better digestion, less air intake, and a calmer mealtime environment.

🎯 Benefits

• Reduces the speed of eating which helps prevent gulping, which in turn can reduce risk of digestive upset, vomiting or bloating.

• Encourages your pet to chew or swallow more slowly, which is healthier overall.

• Makes feeding a little more engaging for the pet (less just “eat quickly and be done”).

• Eases concerns for owners whose pets have shown fast-eating behaviour.

• Suitable for multi-pet households or for pets transitioning to healthier feeding patterns.

🛠 Usage & Care Tips

• Place the bowl on a flat, stable surface where your pet typically eats.

• Introduce the bowl with their usual food so they get used to the slower pace. You may need to monitor the first few meals.

• Clean the bowl regularly: remove food remnants, wash according to instructions (many are dishwasher safe but check the material).

• If your pet is a very fast eater, you may need to reduce portions or split meals to ensure the slower-feed bowl is effective.

• Inspect the bowl periodically for wear, cracks or damage—if the internal ridges degrade, the slowing effect may be lost.

• For cats (especially short-snouted breeds), check that the ridge depth and bowl depth are suitable so they can reach the food comfortably.

📋 Ideal For

• Dogs or cats who eat too fast or gulp their food/water.

• Pets with digestive issues that may benefit from slower feeding.

• Owners looking for a healthier feeding option rather than standard bowls.

• Households with multiple pets or needing a more controlled feeding solution.
