Slow feeder bowls or lick mats can encourage a dog to eat slower. These bowls raised ridges to break up meals and encourage smaller mouthfuls. There are also puzzle feeders, which make your dog solve a puzzle before they can access the food. It slows them down and provides extra mental stimulation.

There are two things to consider: how much food your dog needs each meal and bowl wall size.

Measure your pup’s typical meal portion and compare it to the bowl capacity. The bowl should be able to hold a full meal.

The bowl’s wall should not be so high that your dog cannot lick the bottom of the bowl while standing.

Many dogs love drinking from water fountains. The continuous flow that entices dogs to drink more often.

Petbarn stocks a number of lick mats, interactive treat dispensers, and puzzle feeders, all designed to slow eating and engage your dog’s brain.

Wash bowls in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Let them air-dry completely before the next use to prevent moisture build-up.
