IRIS Slow Feeding Dog & Cat Bowl

I tried several slow feeder bowls before settling on this one (short height) for our french bulldog, Tofu. She doesn't love having to root around for her food, but this is effective at slowing her down and she can finish her entire meal from this bowl. This slow feeder bowl is more convenient for us than using/cleaning the snuffle mat daily; however, because she is excited to eat and must work harder to get the food, the bowl did slide around our wood floor a lot and did not tip over. Other bowls (i.e. Outward Hound orange swirl) had wells that were too deep for her snub-nosed face and she couldn't reach the kibble at the bottom. After using this bowl for about 9 months, she learned to slow I tried several slow feeder bowls before settling on this one (short height) for our french bulldog, Tofu.

Our son and SIL have this dish for her dog-she says he eats too fast. Well, Luna, our Mini pin inhales her dishes!! This is amazing=I thought she'd be skeptical or not like it--nope, she just starting eating and it really did slow her down!

This bowl really slows down my Siberian Husky and keeps him from gulping his food. He would eat so fast that he would sometimes throw up his food after a meal. But this really really works at eliminating the gulping and keeps his eating pace nice and slow. It does move around on the floor some but that’s workable for me because the benefits outweigh that.

This bowl works for our Shih Tzu boy who likes to try to eat as fast as he can so he can steal his sister’s food before she finishes. He started regurgitating from eating too fast. This definitely slows him down, so I’m satisfied with the product. However, the “non-skid” material on the bottom leaves much to be desired. It still slides around on the floor, but this isn’t a big problem. I’d rather have a sliding bowl than a barfing puppy.

Bowl works well for slow feeding, as is intended…. But slides all over the place. The silicone ring around the base has zero grip so I’m going to have to buy an additional mat for it

This food dish is perfect for my purpose. My miniature dachshund eats way to fast and this slows her down. Just right size too!

This bowl holds 2 cups of food and slows down my dogs eating. Love it that it is dishwasher safe and fits in our raised bowl container.

So this is not a review for the quality of this product, it does seem like a high quality product and I like the non-skid material on the bottom. I bought this for a cat my vet has dubbed "the scarfer" as she eats her food way too fast and then tends to get sick. The vet recommended a slow feeder and the one I wanted was out of stock so I purchased two of these for her wet and dry food even though I was worried it would be too big, and it is just way too hard for her to eat out of. Despite the title, I do not think this is a good product for cats. Even the smaller, short-snouted version just makes it too difficult for a cat to get to the food, and it makes a HUGE mess.

This bowl is working excellently at slowing down my puppy that eats way too fast. Although she did chew off the rubber piece on the bottom to keep it from sliding but, I would still recommend this bowl for any dog that eats too fast!

This bowl sounded like the perfect fix for my cat who devours his food within minutes of me putting his bowl down and then proceeding to throw it back up. The bowl did prevent him from putting his face completely in his food but the design did such a great job that he couldn't get any of the food out. The poor guy had to use his paw to scoop out the food and eat it off the floor. He also scooted the bowl all over the kitchen trying to eat out of this bowl without success and then attempted to eat our other cats food who can eat normal and have regular bowls. We tried the bowl for multiple days but unfortunately we had to go back to his old bowl and I plan to put a weighted ball in it to slow This bowl sounded like the perfect fix for my cat who devours his food within minutes of me putting his bowl down and then proceeding to throw it back up.

Wouldn't recommend bowl unless you know that your pet can actually get there face in there to eat the food. … more
