This is a Slow Feed Liquid Dog Bowl designed specifically for pets (cats and dogs). Unlike common grid-style slow-feed bowls for dry food, it is primarily intended for liquid or semi-liquid foods.
1. Slow-Eating Bowl Design
Bowl Design: A rotating, grid-patterned ball is embedded in the center of the bowl. Pets cannot simply gulp down the liquid directly from the bowl; they must lick the ball with their tongues to rotate it, thereby drawing the liquid from below.
Flow Control: This design forces pets to switch from “drinking/swallowing” to “licking,” significantly slowing down their eating speed and extending the drinking process—which would normally take just a few seconds—to several minutes.
2. Key Features and Benefits
Keeps the face clean: Traditional water bowls tend to get the fur around the mouth of long-haired dogs and cats wet. This ball design precisely controls the liquid's contact with the tongue, reducing the likelihood of wetting whiskers and chest fur.
Sensory stimulation: The rotation of the ball simulates the sensation of naturally flowing water, which is appealing to some pets and increases their interaction and enjoyment during mealtime.
3. Suitable Food Types
In addition to drinking water, this bowl is ideal for feeding the following liquid or semi-liquid foods:
Liquid foods: Bone broth, goat's milk formula, diluted yogurt
Semi-liquid foods: Fine meat puree, liquid treats (such as wet cat food), fruit and vegetable puree
4. Design Details
Non-slip Design: The bottom features silicone pads to prevent the bowl from sliding or tipping over when pets lick or eat.
Material: Made of food-grade ABS plastic. The central ball is removable for easy cleaning of hard-to-reach areas.
Dimensions: Slow-feeding bowl rim: 5.11 in. (L) x 5.11 in. (W); Slow-feeding bowl base: 6.3 in. (L) x 6.3 in. (W); Slow-feeding bowl height: 2.36 in. Suitable for small to medium-sized dogs and most cats
Usage Recommendations:
Since liquids can easily get trapped in the gaps between the beads, we recommend washing the bowl daily, especially after feeding dairy products or meat broth.
