“Great bowl, my dog loves it.”
“Good size for my Labrador and it looks like good quality. Arrived fast and in great condition. It has little rubber feet on the bottom to keep it from moving while my dog eats. Very happy with the product.”
“Wonderful. Just like in the photo. Now my dog eats more slowly.”
“Great quality, especially for the price. The finish is good and my dogs loved it. Recommended.”
“Great quality, easy to clean and works very well for a 22 kg dog.”
“The materials are far better than I expected, quite sturdy, and it does not move at all when my dog eats from it. It does its job of stopping the food from being vacuumed up.”
“It is non-slip so it stops my dog from dragging it across the floor, and it is full of obstacles for those eager dogs like mine that eat extremely fast, getting them used to eating slower which is healthier. The design is very pretty and there are many colors to choose from. It also arrived fast and in perfect condition.”
“It takes my small dogs at least 15 minutes, rather than 45 seconds, to eat their meal using these bowls. Love them.”
“It worked. One of our three dogs was gulping her food with more and more anxiety. Since we started using this bowl she chews the kibble and eats more slowly. It worked better than I imagined.”
“Very good result. Before, with a flat bowl, it was one minute to swallow dinner. Now it is a more enjoyable 10 to 15 minutes.”
“Excellent product, works very well and fast shipping.”
“My dog has pancreatitis. If he eats his food too fast he gets sick. This bowl has really helped him stop gobbling his food so fast and not getting sick to his stomach. A great buy.”
“Effective. The meal went from 1 minute to 6.”
“Looks lovely. I thought it would be a bit smaller, but this size is great for bigger dogs. My spaniel is still figuring out how to dig her food out, but she will get used to it like she did with all our other slow feeders. Recommend.”
“Works really well for my speedy eater. Good quality item at a reasonable price.”
“Great size. For the price I thought it would be tiny but it is a standard size. I love the value for money. I would buy again.”
“The bowl works very, very well for dogs up to 15 kg. For my 7 month old puppy it is perfect.”
“Perfect, lets the cat eat more slowly.”
“These are great. I bought two for our Cavalier puppies who like to inhale their food and it is helping them slow down and eat more calmly. They have no trouble getting their food out.”
“These are super cute. They even have little silicone pieces at the bottom to make them non-slip, which is really nice since you can attach them yourself.”
“It is beautiful, maybe a little too deep for cats. I appreciate the non-slip pads that come with it, they are very handy. I recommend this item!”
“These stop the dogs from eating quickly, which is good for them.”
“Great feeding bowl, it really helped us get our dog to eat slower. He went from 30 seconds to 4 to 5 minutes of eating time for the same serving size. The quality also looks good. I recommend it.”
“It is fine but it is more for a dog; for my cat it is very big. But in general it works.”
“Good size and quality. Hard plastic. The anti-slip is included in a tiny bag, I almost threw it away!”
“Bigger than I expected, works great and is easy to clean. It really helps my puppy not feel the need to scarf her food down.”
“This works perfectly to slow my cat's eating down. However, it is very large and I wish they made a smaller option.”
“I thought it was silicone but it is solid plastic. It is not non-slip, it comes with three rubber pads and that is all. What I do like is the maze design and how much it holds. Overall, yes, I recommend it.”
“A nice bowl for the dog, it definitely slows him down. My puppy loves it.”
“Very useful. My dog used to choke while eating, now I can relax while he eats. A very good solution if your dog gulps its food.”
“My dog loved it. It is not hard for him to get the food out of the little maze; he is a Dachshund. I recommend it, and super fast delivery to the Canary Islands.”
If your dog inhales dinner in thirty seconds and then coughs, gags, or brings it back up, this bowl gives you the calmer, quieter mealtime you've been missing. The spiral channels turn a frantic gulp into a slow, focused hunt — working with your dog's natural instinct to nose food out, not against it.
Here's how it works: instead of one open dish, food settles deep into winding concentric channels, so your dog has to slow down and use their nose to find each bite. That bit of nose work and problem-solving drains restless energy and tires the busy mind, so a finished meal leaves them settled instead of wired — and steadier eating means less scarf-and-barf and easier digestion.
- Spiral, concentric channels that stretch a quick gulp into long, calm minutes of foraging
- Round, about 8 in / 20.5 cm wide (20.5 × 20.5 × 3.5 cm) — a good fit for medium and larger fast eaters
- Made from food-safe plastic; holds dry food or water
- Comes with non-slip rubber pads you stick to the base, so it won't slide or scratch the floor while your dog works
- Wide channels wipe out easily and it's dishwasher safe
Pour in the regular meal, set it on a flat floor, and let your dog go to work. It's a feeding and enrichment bowl meant to be used at mealtime under your eye — not a chew toy — so swap it for a fresh meal once it's licked clean.

Good questions
Before you buy.
Will it actually slow my dog down?
Yes. The spiral channels make your dog nose food out one bite at a time instead of inhaling the bowl. Owners report mealtimes going from about 30 seconds to 4-5 minutes for the same portion.
Is it easy to clean?
Yes. The channels are about 3.5 cm wide, so food rinses out easily by hand, and the bowl is dishwasher-safe.
What size is it and which dogs does it suit?
It's a round bowl about 8 in / 20.5 cm across, which fits most medium and large dogs well. It tends to run roomy, so very small dogs may find it on the big side.
Is this a chew toy?
No. It's a slow-feeder bowl for mealtime, not a chew toy. As with any feeder, supervise your dog while they eat.
What do I put in it?
Pour your dog's regular dry kibble into the maze channels and let them nose it out. It can also hold wet food or water.
Will it slide around the floor?
It comes with non-slip rubber pads you stick to the base so the bowl stays put while your dog works at it (they ship in a small bag, so don't toss it). Backed by our 60-day guarantee and free shipping.
