Turns a 30 second meal into a five minute one.
A raised maze moulded into the base of a glazed ceramic bowl, sitting on a solid wood stand. It slows a fast eater and raises the feeding height in one item, rather than making you choose.

Why you'll love it
A dog that empties a bowl in twenty seconds swallows air with it. That is what brings on bloating, and in deep chested breeds bloat is a genuine emergency. Ridges force them to eat around the obstacle instead.
The stand brings the bowl closer to their head so they are not craning down into it. Older dogs and short legged breeds feel that difference at every meal.
Plastic scratches, and the scratches hold bacteria and old food smell. Glazed ceramic has nothing for either to sit in and goes straight in the dishwasher.
Good fit if
Look elsewhere if
Slow feeders are usually moulded plastic and sit flat on the floor. Raised feeders are usually plain bowls in a frame. Getting both normally means a plastic maze bowl dropped into a separate stand, which rarely fits properly and leaves the bowl free to lift out under a determined nose.
Here the maze is formed into the ceramic itself and the bowl seats into the stand, so neither part works against the other. The practical result is that a dog which needs both slowing down and lifting up gets both without a compromise arrangement that comes apart mid meal.
The two bowl diameters are fifteen and a half and 21 centimetres, holding roughly eight hundred and fifty millilitres and one thousand eight hundred respectively. The right one is the size that comfortably holds a full meal with the ridges still doing their work; a bowl filled past the top of the maze is simply a bowl, because the food covers the obstacles.
The double stand runs two bowls side by side. It is convenient for a dog taking food and water together, and worth thinking twice about for a cat, since cats generally prefer to drink well away from where they eat. In a two animal household the double stand only works if both eat at a similar pace, otherwise the faster one finishes and starts on the other bowl.
Glazed ceramic is the better surface for a maze bowl specifically, because a maze has far more surface area than a plain dish and every ridge is somewhere residue can sit. A nonporous glaze releases it under a rinse, while scratched plastic holds it in the grooves where a sponge cannot reach and starts to smell within weeks.
The bowl lifts out for the dishwasher; the wooden stand should not go anywhere near one. Wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it, since standing water will eventually lift the finish and raise the grain. Check the grippy stickers underneath every few months, as they are the part that stops the whole assembly walking across a tiled floor.

The details
| Bowl | Capacity | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 15.5 cm | 850 ml | Cats and small dogs up to roughly 10 kg |
| 21 cm | 1800 ml | Medium and large dogs |
Pick the size where a full meal still sits below the top of the maze ridges. A portion deep enough to bury them turns the slow feeder back into an ordinary bowl.
Loved by real pet parents
The ceramic bowl lifts out and goes in the dishwasher, which is the bit I use daily. The wooden stand needs a wipe by hand and I would not leave it sitting wet. Small thing, but worth knowing.
He used to clear a bowl in twenty seconds flat and then stand there looking hard done by. The maze in the base means he has to work around the ridges and it stretches the meal right out. He is calmer afterwards.
I went for the larger 1800ml bowl because our lad eats a lot in one sitting. It holds his whole dinner without anything spilling over the ridges. The glaze still looks new after months of daily use.
Honest answer is it took her meal from about thirty seconds to a minute and a half. The ridges are not especially tall and she has learned to work the food out of the channels with one paw. It is nicely made and the stand is solid, it just has not changed as much as I hoped.
He is fourteen and had started eating with his front legs splayed to get down to the bowl. The wooden stand lifts it to a height he can reach without dropping his head, and he stands square to eat now.
We took the double stand so food and water live together, and filled it is close to four kilos. That is fine if it stays in one place, less fine when you want to move it to mop underneath. Build quality is genuinely good.
Our last bowls were plastic and after a while they held a stale meaty smell no matter how often I washed them. The glazed ceramic has none of that, it comes out of the dishwasher smelling of nothing at all.
The whole reason I picked this one was being able to take the ceramic part away from the wood and put it in the machine. Two seconds to lift, no clips or catches to fight with.
Works well and the maze definitely slows him down. I would pick the dark green next time because the off white glaze shows every speck of kibble dust around the rim. That is on me rather than on the bowl.
Good questions
The 15.5cm bowl holds 850ml and suits cats and small dogs; the 21cm holds 1800ml and suits medium to large breeds. If you are between the two, size up, since a cramped maze defeats the point.
It takes the slow feeder plus a plain bowl alongside it, so food and water sit at the same height. Pick the single if you already have a water fountain elsewhere.
Pick the one where a full meal sits below the top of the maze ridges. As a rough guide the 15.5 cm bowl suits cats and small dogs, the 21 cm suits medium and larger breeds.
Two bowls at one height, usually food and water for a dog, or a meal each for two animals that eat at similar speeds. Cats often prefer their water sited away from their food.
No. Wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. Soaking or a dishwasher cycle will lift the finish and raise the grain permanently.
