Perfect feed dish!
This is such a great slow feeder! I like how it disassembles for easy cleaning. My dog has a history of gulping his food which would sometimes make him sick. It takes him 15 minutes to eat his food now. This feeder is a very good thing😄for a very good 🐕.

Love it!
This was a great buy. My beagle can’t inhale his food forces him to take a easy. It is made in high quality. It is also very easy to clean. I have a other slow feeder but this one is my favorite.

Good choice for large dogs
Holds quite a lot of food, so probably not for small dogs. I have a 2yo,120 lb lab/ dalmatian and it’s about the right size for him. It definitely holds too much food for my little bulldog.A solid puzzle toy, easy enough for my big dumd boy to figure out, but hard enough to make him think. It comes apart for cleaning and is relatively easy to load. You do have to be careful to not overfill the layers, it won’t spun right it it’s overloaded.

Helpful feeding method
This has certainly helped our Bernese pace himself when eating!

Great for mastermind dogs
My dog eats way too fast and a normal slow feeder isn’t challenging enough. Also, if they’re silicone inserts or bowls, he will shred them. This one is great. It has three challenging levels and is made of durable plastic. I do wish there was a version made of metal as I don’t love feeding my animals out of plastic.

Great puzzle feeder
My shiba inu puppy loves this puzzle feeder. It’s great for boredom and mental stimulation. It’s way bigger than I thought it would be, holds lots of food. I haven’t had any issues with it slipping around while she eats. It keeps my dog entertained during feedings.

New favorite
Our new favorite feeding dish. The little mushroom pattern is adorable, and all the nooks and crannies are great for engaging my cocker spaniel who often becomes frustrated with the simplicity of many slow feeders. The variation in feeding slots is good for adding different sizes snacks and foods to bump up the engagement. The parts also come apart easily enough for cleaning, but they can also go back together in just a few seconds. No more scarf and barf, and mealtime for our dog is way more fun.

Our Dogs FAVORITE Bowl!!!
We have a dog who loves to use his mind to figure things out & this bowl does the trick.Not only is it super fun for him and easy for him to eat out of, it slows his eating down and he takes his time going through all the levels. It’s very well make and the perfect size for his 1 cup of food 2x a day regime.The 2 levels function on a swivel of the nose and the bottom and moat are obviously stationary, so you can switch up movement with stationary feeding if you want.Great product for the price! Highly recommend

Bought for an 8 week old st. Bernard puppy. It definitely slows down her eating, and gets excited when she realizes there’s more hiding. Highly recommend.

It’s been over four months since we adopted a cat, and one of our dogs still gets overwhelmed and reactive in her presence. We’ve tried a range of strategies, and the latest was to give our dog treats in a slow feeder puzzle tray while the cat is nearby.I used the bottom of the bag crumbs of freeze-dried chicken and was able to put some flakes into most of the toy compartments. My dog is highly treat-motivated, so even as I led her into the room with the cat, my dog was focused on me and the treats.My dog quickly figured out how to move the trays, but she still spent a good 10 minutes licking and searching for every last crumb. The cat was only a few feet away and in sight the entire time.Once the tray was nearly clean, my dog seemed to remember where she was and went back to focusing on the cat, and I took the dog out of the room before she lost her mind. I’m not sure this will improve their relationship long term, but it did give us a way to keep her calm and engaged for a short period while in the presence of the cat.While it isn’t a difficult toy to figure out, it is well built and was highly engaging for our dog.

This is a strong and well-made slow-feeder pet food dish. We have two dogs: a 7 month old golden doodle and a nine-year old wheaten poodle. Both enjoyed using it. Even the doodle pup could not destroy it, that’s how durable it is. It’s also top tray dishwasher safe, but it’s very easy just to hand wash if you use dry kibble like we do. There are tons of pockets available to fill on the top and bottom levels. It definitely slowed the puppy down. Our older dog doesn’t have a problem with speed eating but I like her to use them bowls for brain teasing.The only thing I’ll say was that our puppy figured it out pretty quickly so while it still slows him down more than a regular bowl, it’s on the easier side of “brain teasing slow feeders”. All in though, it was a good quality purchase, well made and a good introduction to slow feeders. You can make it harder, like Indid, by only putting food on the middle and bottom levels.

I was super skeptical about my dog’s ability and motivation to use this bowl, and I’m happy to report that I was super wrong!! My dog loves it and it has reduced the digestion issues he’s had from gobbling down his food at an unreasonable rate.Beez in 7-months old has issues with pacing himself. He gobbled down is food so fast that his stomach was unable to process it, leaving him straining and uncomfortable when it was time for the food to vacate his body. It left us to soften his food with broth or water, or straight up switch to soft food. This bowl has worked wonders. Beez took to it right away. He was able to access all areas(he has a long snoot and a long tongue) even those that I thought would be impossible to get to. He’s been back on hard food for a week now, and he’s not having any ill-effects in the digestion department from the hard food. He went from gulping down a cup of hard food in less than thirty seconds, to a marathon of five minutes with the same quantity of food in this bowl. The $20CAD sticker price seems like a decent deal compared to other bowls with the same idea. I like the low profile, spread out nature of this bowl compared to others that have more levels, or more intricate snaking designs. The bowl is also constructed in a sturdy fashion–it’s nice and heavy and Beez can’t push it around or up end it.A full five-stars for this bowl, as it’s helped Beez stay on hard food and changed the way he eats for the better!

Great for slowing down dogs with digestion issues! So many dogs wolf down their food too quickly and make themselves sick, but this helps to force them into slowing it down a bit. At first, our dog wasn’t too sure about it (he may not be the brightest dog ever), but I made sure to put the smelliest treats on the bottom covered layer so he couldn’t miss them. Once he got the hang of it, he’s able to use his snout and move around the layers to make sure he gets every single bit of food. Takes him a bit longer to eat his food and I don’t worry about his indigestion anymore.
