Slow Feeder Dog Bowl – Anti-Gulp Maze Puzzle Bowl for Dogs & Cats

Turn Gulping Into a Calmer, Slower Meal

The MATERA PET Slow Feeder Dog Bowl is a maze puzzle bowl that makes fast eaters slow down. Curved ridges split the bowl into narrow channels, so your dog or cat has to nose and lick the food out a few pieces at a time instead of swallowing the whole portion in seconds. It is 7.67 inches wide, holds about 1.5 cups of dry food, and suits small and medium dogs and cats. A slower meal means less frantic gulping, less air swallowed with each mouthful, and a few extra minutes of focused work at every feeding.

Key Features

• Slows down fast eaters - the maze ridges break the bowl into curved channels, so food comes out bite by bite instead of in one gulp.
• Turns mealtime into a puzzle - working kibble around the maze engages your pet's nose and tongue, a small daily brain game at no extra effort for you.
• Doubles as a lick bowl - spread wet food or a lickable treat into the grooves, or freeze it, for a longer and calmer licking session.
• Stays put on the floor - anti-slip pads on the base help keep the bowl from sliding or tipping while your pet chases the last bites.
• Works with every kind of food - dry kibble, wet food, raw food or a mix; the bowl holds about 1.5 cups of dry food or 20 fl oz of water.
• Easy to clean - the smooth one-piece bowl is dishwasher-safe and also rinses clean by hand under the tap.
• Food-safe, rounded design - made of polypropylene that the manufacturer states is BPA-free, with smooth edges and no sharp corners.

Choosing Your Color

All three colors are the same bowl in the same size: Blue is a soft aqua, Green a muted sage, and Pink a dusty rose. In a multi-pet home, giving each pet its own color makes it easy to see who has finished and keeps everyone at the right bowl.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a slow feeder bowl really slow a dog down?

Yes. The maze ridges split the bowl into narrow curved channels, so your dog can only reach a few pieces of food at a time and has to work each bite out with its nose and tongue. How much longer a meal lasts depends on the dog, the food and how full you fill the bowl.

What size dog or cat is this bowl for?

It is designed for small and medium dogs and for cats. The bowl measures 7.67 inches across and 1.37 inches tall, and holds about 1.5 cups of dry food, which covers a typical meal for most small and medium pets. Large breeds with big daily portions may need a larger slow feeder.

Can I use wet food or use it as a lick mat?

Yes. Kibble, wet food, raw food and mixes all work. You can also spread wet food or a lickable treat into the grooves and freeze the bowl for a longer, calmer licking session.

Is the slow feeder dishwasher-safe?

Yes. The one-piece polypropylene bowl can go in the dishwasher or be washed by hand with warm water and mild soap. Avoid steel wool and hard brushes, which scratch the surface and create grooves where residue builds up.

Is the material safe for my pet?

The bowl is made of food-contact polypropylene (PP) that the manufacturer states is free of BPA, phthalates, lead and latex. It has smooth, rounded edges with no sharp corners.

How long does shipping take and can I return it?

Every order ships with tracking and usually arrives in 4 to 10 business days. Returns are free within 30 days.

In the box: 1 x maze slow feeder bowl in the color of your choice. Tip: start by putting your pet's usual meal in the new bowl at the usual time, without extra fuss. Most pets work out the maze within a few meals; if yours gives up, sprinkle a few pieces on the top ridges for the first days so the bowl feels rewarding.
