Pratique pour notre minette qui a décidé de gober sans mâcher ses croquettes (et de les vomir ensuite…). Depuis qu’on a acheté cette petite gamelle, plus aucun soucis, elle mange tranquillement et notre sol se porte bien bien.
Elle fait vraiment l’effort de chercher les croquettes alors qu’on ne l’a jamais habitué à ca ( elle a 2 ans). Je recommande ce petit investissement si vous avez un chat glouton, c’est tellement mieux pour lui…

The slots are a little deep for my big dog’s snout but it’s ok. It works, he has to find a piece of food and intentionally pick it up, so it slows his eating. before he would scarf down his food and stand over the smaller dogs waiting to eat their leftovers. So far i’m very happy with this bowl.

One of our samoyeds was supposedly a finicky eater, which didn’t jive with any of our past experiences with the breed. When we first got her, she was indeed reticent about eating for a couple of days, and then she got over herself. She decided she really liked her food, and she started eating way too fast, which made her throw it back up half the time. We got this bowl as an experiment, and it works great. She still tries to eat like a maniac, but the bowl slows her down and makes her work for it. She hasn’t had any post-meal indiscretions since we got the bowl. As for cleaning it, well, she does most of that work. It’s easy to simply rinse it off afterward.

This slow feeder has really helped my puppy (German Shepherd mix) slow down when eating. It holds about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of puppy kibble. I included a ruler and phone in the picture so you can see how small the bowl is. It has been great for our puppy from 8 weeks to 14 weeks, but now I need to upgrade to a larger size due to the increase in kibble that she needs. Overall I recommend this product – just make sure you know the size you are getting and that you might need various sizes as your dog grows.

This bowl is literally a life saver for my dog. Unfortunately my dog eats really really fast, we have tried several things to slow him down and all been unsuccessful. Previous slow feeders haven’t lasted as Bailey hit them with his paw and flipped them over in frustration. The vet encouraged us to scatter his food to try slow him but in recent weeks this too hasn’t worked and Bailey has nearly chocked on his food, struggling to get breathe on a couple of occasions. I had been looking for this slow feeder for a while as our last dog had it and it worked really well for him although for different reasons. I’m so happy that I finally found it although to be honest I wasn’t feeling hopeful it would work. It feels lighter than our last one but it has worked perfectly for us and Bailey these last couple of days 🙏 it continues. I think because it is larger and not too deep ( however it is deep enough) he can’t flip it over. I knocked a star off for easiness to clean but thats simply because of its shaped pattern inside but a good price to pay for a healthy dog and ease of mind. 100% recommend this product.

Our cat sometimes “scarfs n barfs” her dry food breakfast, aka she eats it fast then throws up shortly afterwards. This bowl seemed like a great solution – I got the small pink zig-zag shape.
I learned it’s marketed for dogs for a reason – I think the zig zags were just a bit too deep for a cat to reach the food. Ours was able to paw out a single kibble at a time from the side of the bowl and eat it off the floor, which also dragged the bowl around a bit (despite the non-slip bottom). We wanted to slow her down, but maybe not that much! We’ll be returning and looking for one that’s more shallow.
Otherwise the bowl seemed solid and sturdy (wish it was ceramic or stainless steel though), it’s just not for our cat! Would probably work fine for a small dog.

A typical 5 second meal took 7 minutes! Poor doggo was confused and frustrated at first. 2nd meal using the slow feeder, doggo took a stand. He wasn’t going to have it and he tested me telling him multiple times to go eat. He walked away, he whined, he moped. 1 hour morning walk and 3 hours of self deprivation later, he relented and ate it all up. It took him a minute to get used to the idea of slowing down his eating…but it’s either that or go hungry.
Pro: – easy packaging, didn’t have to fight to get it out, not a lot of it neither – non slip footing on the base works well keeping the bowl in place when he’s maneuvering around the obstacles – large capacity, 8oz of kibble fits with plenty more space for a bigger meal – surface is smooth and curvaceous, nothing to catch his tongue on – varying depth to bottom of bowl, gives him an extra challenge depending on what part of the bowl he’s working on
Con: – don’t have a dishwasher, so washing it can be challenging – price could be better

We got the purple bowls for our dogs. We have a 2 year old Rottweiler and a 10 year old boxer. Our Rottweiler has already gotten bloat once and luckily survived, so it’s extremely important to us that she eats slowly. This was our fourth attempt with a slow feeder and the one that takes the longest for her. She spends between 5-10 minutes eating. The first time she used it she got frustrated and flipped the bowl, but has been fine since and seems to enjoy it.
Our boxer on the other hand finds it a bit more of a challenge and spends 10-15 minutes eating. She hasn’t gotten frustrated with it yet so we’re letting her continue with it. Though she does have a special mat that she eats on so she can lay down and eat and take her time. We may end up getting her an alternate bowl though.
All in all I would recommend. They’re are stackable if they’re the same color, durable, and don’t move around on the floor. They are definitely going to slow your dogs down and mentally stimulate them. The price is good too!

My name is Hector. I am a puppy Rhodesian Ridgeback. My mum and dad bought this for me as I eat really quick and then burped and farted in their faces. They put my biscuits in it and it’s good fun chasing the biscuits around. But I can’t eat my din dins in 10 seconds any more. It takes me about 5 minutes now and that means that mum and dad don’t have to suffer my wind and I like my biscuits better. I have tried turning it over with my big paws but that doesn’t work. Mum and dad like the bowl as it is easy to clean and it keeps me happy.

I absolutely love this bowl. Perfect bowl for my French bulldog. I’ve been freezing all of my dog’s meals in it and I have her lick it in her kennel. It takes her at least 30 min each time to finish her meals, where as before she would practically inhale her kibble without even chewing it. I add a small spoonful of puppy-safe peanut butter or plain greek yogurt and spread it around the bowl either before or after adding her kibble to give my dog variety in what she’s licking. Now I can spend that 30 min doing what I need to do while my puppy enjoys her meals. Win win!

This item appears to be a cheap clone. There are no “Outward Hound” markings on the base or on the side, and no patent number, all present on a genuine Outward Hound fun feeder i already have. The plastic is inferior, lightweight and the rubbery non slip section all round the base is also missing on both the ones i have received from Amazon so they slide all over the place. I sent the first one back because of the missing non slip bit. got sent a replacement just the same but with 4 little bits of rubber for me to stick on feet! I then looked at it more closely and noticed the other differences.The plastic looks like it would splinter if a dog picked it up and dropped it. The one I bought elsewhere is tough, dishwasher safe (again markings on the bottom not present on these two) and has a nice chunky solid feel to it. Definitely one to buy elsewhere and make sure you get the genuine article.

My little 9 pound papillon “Happy” inhales food. It usually takes her less than 30 seconds to finish her bowl of food. My other little 6 pound dog, Jazzy, thinks food is optional and takes about 10 minutes to decide how much she wants to eat. So, I was looking for something to slow Happy down so she wouldn’t keep staring at the other dog’s food. This bowl helps. It now takes her 3 minutes to eat! The bowl cleans easily even though I don’t have a dish washer, sticks to the floor and is sturdy. She is a chewer, but has not felt compelled to chew the bowl. By the way, Happy respects Jazzy, and will not touch her food even when Jazzy leaves it.
