Slow feeder bowls and snuffle mats for dogs
Slowing down the meal for calmer, safer digestion
A dog that gulps its ration down in seconds swallows a lot of air and risks bloating, regurgitation and, in large breeds, a dangerous gastric torsion. Slow feeder bowls and snuffle mats turn the meal into a little challenge that forces slower eating. AnimalParadise offers effective solutions to curb intake and protect digestion.
Why does my dog eat too fast and how can I slow it down?
Gulping often stems from instinct or competition between animals. A ridged bowl or a maze forces the dog to work around obstacles to reach each piece of kibble, which lengthens the meal and reduces swallowed air.
What is the difference between a slow feeder bowl and a snuffle mat?
The slow feeder bowl uses pegs and channels to mechanically slow access to the kibble, while the snuffle mat scatters food among fibres to be explored with the nose. Both slow the meal and stimulate the sense of smell.
Our range of slow feeder bowls and snuffle mats
- Maze bowls : ridges and spiral channels that make the dog sort each mouthful and eat more slowly.
- Ridged bowls : pegs and waves that break up the ration and divide the eating speed several times over.
- Snuffle mats : dense fibres to hide kibble in for an earned meal that stimulates the sense of smell and stamina.
The AnimalParadise expert tip: introduce the slow feeder gradually over a few days and check that the ridges stay reachable for your dog’s tongue, so it eats slowly without getting discouraged.
All our slow feeder bowls and snuffle mats are shipped quickly across Europe, for a healthier, better-paced meal.
