A dog that inhales a bowl of food in under a minute swallows a lot of air with it, and gets no mental engagement from the largest event of its day. A moulded maze forces the food into channels the dog has to work around, which stretches the meal out and turns feeding into a small puzzle.
Key Benefits
- Raised channels stop a dog taking large mouthfuls
- Extends a thirty-second meal to several minutes
- Adds mental work to a meal you were feeding anyway
- Reduces the air swallowed by gulping
- Non-slip base stops the bowl travelling across the floor
- Dishwasher safe in most cases
Best For
- Dogs that finish a bowl in under a minute
- Bored dogs that need daily mental work
- Small and medium breeds
- Dogs that vomit shortly after eating
- Owners wanting enrichment without extra cost
How It Works
Tip the normal ration in and let the maze do the work. Start with a simpler pattern if your dog gets frustrated, and rinse it properly after wet food, since food packs into the channels and is easy to miss.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Genuinely slows fast eaters, adds mental stimulation at no extra calorie cost, stays put thanks to the base and costs a fraction of a puzzle toy.
Cons: The channels are fiddly to clean by hand and trap wet food. A determined dog may tip it or chew the raised sections, and a very frustrated dog can give up on the meal entirely.
Things to Consider
- Fiddly to hand wash, particularly after wet food
- Not for dogs that chew plastic bowls
- Introduce gradually if your dog frustrates easily
- Check the capacity matches your dog usual portion
- Prices, availability and shipping times are set by the AliExpress seller and can change
