What are slow feed bowls and why do you need one for your dog?

As discussed above, many dogs have a problem of eating their kibble excessively fast by gulping food in big swipes without chewing properly. This problem of fast feeding is more prominent in dog breeds such as Labradors, Terriers, Maltese, Beagles, and Pugs, who have genetic traits of being competitive eaters. And if you have multiple pups, the feeding time can become a challenge for you.

Excessively fast feeding is not a healthy habit. Some of the major concerns associated with fast feeding are:

• Fast feeding can lead to choking, gagging or vomiting among dogs.
• Gulping food without chewing can lead to flatulence, gas and stomach discomfort.
• Gasping for air while gulping food can lead to bloating, which can be potentially dangerous, even fatal for dogs.
• Excessive competing for food can make a dog aggressive while feeding.

Slow-feeding bowls can address some of these problems of excessively fast feeding. Slow feed pet bowls are specially designed metallic or non-metallic bowls which have obstructions such as domes, pillars, mazes, puzzles etc. to prevent the pets from quickly gulping large servings in one swipe and instead take more time to feed on kibble or canned food.

Slow feed dog bowls can also help the canine lose weight. Eating slowly and then swallowing generally results in the dogs eating less and feeling fuller for a longer time. They also provide some mental stimulation and entertainment, especially if your pooch is food-motivated.

Slow feed pet bowls are available for both dogs and cats, though the problem is more pronounced in dogs and hence slow feed dog bowls are more prominent in the market.

Because of these anti-gulping characteristics and designs, the slow feed dog bowls are sometimes also referred to as “slow eating dog bowls”, “anti-gulp dog bowls”, “go slow feeding bowls”, “dog puzzle feeders” or “maze dog bowls”. If you see this terminology with products, rest assured that they are referring to slow feed dog bowls only.

Slow feed dog bowls come in multiple designs – bowl-shaped or mat-shaped and can be made of stainless steel, ceramic, plastic or silicone. Stainless steel and ceramic slow feed bowls are heavier but considered more durable and stable than plastic bowls. However, plastic and silicone bowls are more portable and smartly designed to considerably slow down the feeding time. Unlike the ceramic and stainless steel slow feed bowl which can increase the feeding time by 3-4 times, plastic anti-gulp dog bowls can increase the feeding time by up to 6-8 times.

It is worthwhile to mention some of the limitations and challenges associated with such dog slow feeders before opting for them, as listed below:

• Slow feeding dog bowls can be harder to clean. Simply tossing them in the dishwasher may not always work and you may have to put in some extra effort to clean them up to prevent the build-up of harmful bacteria.
• If your dog is smart enough, some dog slow feeders may not provide the desired outcome as the canine may learn to topple the bowls. However, most of the options that we have listed are best in terms of stability and you should not have a lot of problems with the stability and food spillage, with any of the bowls listed above.
• In the case of plastic or resin bowls, accidental ingestion of non-edible materials can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort among dogs. To avoid such cases, simply discard a damaged bowl and get a new one.
• Some dogs, especially the ones with smaller snouts may have challenge eating around the barriers and can lead to chipping of teeth. So getting a slow feeder dog bowl of the right shape and size is important.

Despite all the limitations mentioned above, the slow feeding dog bowls are generally a great option for addressing excessively fast-feeding among canines. In fact, some of the bowls that we have listed above would be suitable for felines and other small animal pets as well.

In the next sections, we will look at some of the major factors to keep in mind before picking the best slow feed dog bowls for your pooch and share our top picks. We will also list some alternatives that can turn a standard food bowl into a slow feeder. Some of our top picks also work well with cats and other small animals as pet puzzle feeders.

How to pick the best slow feed dog bowls for your pet?

With the market flooded with so many options, picking the best slow feed dog bowl for your beloved pooch can be a challenging task. After all, you are looking for something that would specifically fit the needs of your pet and also fits your budget.

Some of the major factors that you should consider while picking the best slow feeder for your dog are listed below:

• Manufacturing material
• Design of the bowl
• Size and capacity of the bowl
• Additional factors and considerations

Manufacturing material

The first thing you should consider while picking the slow feeding bowl for your puppy or dog is the building material, you should go with – metallic or non-metallic.

Metal slow feed dog bowls are generally made of stainless steel (you would very rarely find some aluminum dog slow feeders). They have relatively simple designs – a bowl with a dome in the middle or a few pillars as obstacles. In order to provide the stability, a rubber ring is fitted to the base. This rubber gasket is removable and should be removed before putting the bowl in the dishwasher.

Stainless steel slow feed dog bowls are relatively safe to use as there are no chances of leaching plastic chemicals. However, because of their simple design, they cannot slow down the feeding time considerably. Moreover, some dogs may run the risk of damaging their teeth by chewing against the central dome.

Non-metallic slow feeders are made either from plastic, silicone or bamboo fiber resin. Plastic slow feeding bowls such as Outward Hound Fun Feeder are extremely popular. Such bowls are made from high-quality food grade BPA, PVC, Phthalate free plastic material and have interesting designs – mazes, puzzles, grass tufts etc. These designs can slow down the feeding time by as much as five to eight times. They are also dishwasher safe (top shelf) and generally more durable than the silicone or resin feeding bowls. While some people may have reservations about plastics, our take is that PTA approved, chemical free plastic is a safe material to use for your pets as long as you are careful about accidental ingestion.

Silicone or Resin slow feeding bowls are pretty safe as silicone is one of the most chemically inert compound out there. Such bowls are pretty portable too. You can simply fold them, put them in your dog’s kit and then take it anywhere.

Finally, some manufacturers have even introduced ceramic slow feed dog bowls. Ceramic slow feed dog bowls are durable, safe and more stable because of their heavier weight. Moreover, they are elegant looking, keep the contents relatively cool, and are dishwasher and microwave safe. They are, however, costlier than stainless steel or plastic slow feed dog bowls.

Keep these considerations in mind before picking the best slow feed dog bowl for your beloved canine.

Design of the bowl

How the slow eating dog bowl is designed is also something that you should keep in mind before picking the best one for your needs. As discussed above, metallic slow feeders generally have a bowl with a dome in middle, or pillars to create compartments of kibble.

Non-metallic bowls have some interesting designs. The most common design is the puzzle or maze shaped bowl with a low profile and anti-skid bottom. This design would make your canine friend work for finishing its kibbles and hence slow down the eating. You should ensure that you opt for a low profile, anti-skid bottom bowl as the lighter weight of such bowls may make it easy for your pet to topple it.

Another popular design (most common in silicone bowls) is the mat-shaped. The bowl is more of a mat filled with grass type obstacles against which the dog has to work using its nose. This design is heavily inspired by how a dog would eat food in the outdoors. The only drawback of this design is that the side rims may not be able to prevent some kibble from spilling onto the floor. So such bowls are most suitable for tiles and wooden floors.
Check out the designs available and read the reviews to determine if a particular slow feeding bowl will be fit for your furry friend.

Size and Capacity of the bowl

Depending on your canine’s breed, age and weight, you can pick the right size for the bowl. Thankfully most of the models that we listed come in sizes ranging from 0.75 cups (6 oz. of dry kibble) to 8 cups (64 oz.). For dogs in the weight range of 15-30 lbs. you would find that 2 cup bowls are more than enough for one round of feeding.

Closely associated with the capacity is the size of the bowl. Because of the in-between obstacles or mazes , the slow feeding bowls are generally larger in size than normal feeding bowls of the same capacity. Mat-designed feeders such as Northmate Green Slow Feeder are the largest, while standard feeders such as the OurPets DuraPet Stainless Steel Dog Bowl are pretty compact for their capacities.

Additional factors and considerations

In addition to the factors above, there are a couple of other considerations that can make a purchase more attractive than others.

One such factor is the colors in which a particular bowl is available in. Outward Hound Fun Feeder and Dogit Go Slow Dog Bowl score big in this category as these bowls are available in a bunch of bright colors and you can pick the most suitable color that fits your pet’s personality. Similarly, My Lucky Pets Slow Feeder silicone mat even provides multi-color combinations bowls to choose from.

Another more important factor is the service and satisfaction support provided by the manufacturer. Most of the dog bowls listed above have standard 30-day return guarantees. Some manufacturers such as OurPets DuraPet, Outward Hound, and Wag Haus even go well beyond the warranty periods and provide replacement options if your bowl gets damaged at any stage.

Keep these other small considerations in mind while picking the best slow feed dog bowls for your pet’s needs.

Things to remember while using slow feed dog bowls

Slow feeding or anti-gulp dog bowls are pretty convenient and standard mechanism to use for fast feeding dogs. However, in order to ensure proper usage, keep the following things in mind while using such slow eating dog bowls:

• Evaluate your options before picking the best manufacturing material for dog slow feeder. As discussed above, traditional stainless steel slow feeders may not slow down the feeding time enough, but they are chemically safer, cleaner and more durable to use than plastic slow feeders.
• Always pick the design and size as per your dog’s breed and size. Dogs with smaller snouts may find it difficult to eat through some slow feeders. For smaller dogs, mat-shaped feeders are most suitable.
• Always keep the feeding bowl clean. Use a separate cleaning sponge for each of your dog bowls. For plastic, resin and silicone bowls, use a discarded soft toothbrush or a bottle cleaning brush to clean up through the nooks and crannies.
• If using a dishwasher for cleaning the bowls, always place the bowl in only the top shelf of the dishwasher. Also, if the bowl has a removable rubber base, remove it before placing the bowl in the dishwasher.
• Before using the plastic slow feeding bowls, inspect that the dog bowl is not damaged and all the obstacles are intact and not leaching plastic.
• Consult your vet if your dog shows any signs of discomfort, bloating or indigestion even after using an anti-gulp slow feeding bowl.

Slow feeding with standard feeding bowls

If you have a standard pet feeding bowl and would still want to increase the feeding time of your dog, then there are a couple of options that you can try. While these options would not work as well as the slow feeding dog bowls, they can still help in slowing down the feeding time:

• Use slow feed dog bowl insert to slow down eating: There are a couple of slow feed inserts available in the market that can convert a standard pet feeding bowl into an anti-gulp feeding bowl. These inserts are inexpensive and can increase the feeding time by 2-3 times.The most popular option is the Loving Pets Gobble Stopper slow feeder Insert.

  Finally, you can also check out the Omega Paw Portion Pacer Ball. This ball is available in stainless steel and porcelain construction, dishwasher safe and available in two sizes for use with standard feeding bowls.
• Use improvisations: There are a couple of improvisations you can try on the standard dog or cat feeding bowl to convert it into a slow eating food bowl. One of the most popular improvisations is to use a tennis ball in the feeding bowl. This improvisation works best for medium to large dogs. As the dogs move their snout through the feeding bowl, the bowl moves and slows down the feeding time by controlling the access to the feed in the bowl. Another improvisation is to take a standard steel bowl and place it upside down in the feeding bowl. This method can also help in increasing the feeding time.
