Cat Bowl

This is a brilliant product, it has slowed down my 2 rescue cats' eating speeds from 5 minutes to 20-30 minutes whilst giving them a stimulating activity. They have stopped asking from more food after mealtimes and really enjoy the challenge of the maze. One is 6 months' old and her mum is 18 months' old. The mum was less keen at first but after the third mealtime using the slow feed bowl she realised that it was her only way to get a meal so got properly stuck in. Both use it equally efficiently. It has been smooth sailing ever since. I have attached a video and a photo of them using it for reference. The only negative thing I would say is that the bowl moves around a lot so we have put it on a rubber mat to prevent it from moving too much and this works really well.

I don't really think that this is suitable for cats. It's much too large and deep between the crevices, which can lead to some whisker discomfort. However, if you have a small dog then this product works great! My cats don't approve but my dog certainly does. It is fantastic quality, mind you, and delivery was on time.

Our cat Jack (a cat not noted for his intellect) has now figured out his own system for obtaining his dry food. He is definitely a "southpaw" using it exclusively to flick food out to eat. It has slowed him down markedly and this has resulted in better digestion and fewer incidents of "throwing up" following feeding, as previously he wolfed everything down in a frenzy. The new bowl has already clocked up several kilometres as it travels around the utility room, despite a rubber mat, but it provides a reasonable workout for Jack.... Another benefit! Very happy with purchase and Jack has accepted the new regime with good grace. Purple not really his colour! Jack's PA Keith D

Larger than expected but that is not a problem. It is a sturdy and very well made product. As suggested by the manufacturer I set it beside my cats normal kibble dish and one got the hang of it immediately, the other took a few days but now this is the only dish they use. They do have to search the nooks and crannies of the dish to pick out the food which definitely stops them gulping it down in a few seconds and makes the eating process more interesting for them. I haven't tried it with wet food - that might be a step too far!

As stated on the product site, it does take a bit of getting used to for the cat to eat out of this bowl. However, since getting this about 3 weeks ago we have only had 1 (small) vomit so it is a definite improvement, The bowl doesn't look the prettiest and it is quite large but it does the job. My cat is obviously getting enough food because she isn't pestering constantly. It is definitely worth investing in a non-slip mat to put underneath though - my poor cat was clearly chasing the bowl around for the first few days

Bought this because one of my cats was bolting his food (dry) and then bringing it up. It’s an interesting design and solidly made but isnt for every cat. I tried it with both my cats and they ended up frustrated and crying as they tried to get at the food. Perhaps they are too old and you can’t teach an old cat new tricks. In the end the vet recommended giving him half his food and the other half later. The two stars is not for product quality or service but to make owners aware that it isn’t for every cat.

My male cat used to gobble his food down which often ended up with him making himself sick. Found this this bowl on Amazon and bought one. Wow what a difference it has made. After the initial walking around it an hissing at it, and what looked like death stares he gave me, He started to eat and it has worked wonders. it takes him a good 15 minutes to eat his food and no more sickness. Result!!

This has certainly slowed down Roxy's eating but for one puss it is a bit on the large size. I have trouble getting it into my washing up bowl and really no where to store it. However, she seems to cope well with it and it does the trick. Love the fact it is bamboo and not plastic and that it's made in the UK. (I hope it is and not China).

Der Napf funktioniert wunderbar. Unserer Perserkater ist ein absoluter Schlinger. Normale Näpfe (egal ob Nass- oder Trockenfutter) sind binnen kürzester Frist in einem Zug leer. Mit dem Napf hält das Trockenfutter den ganzen Tag vor und der Kater "angelt" sich nur solange was raus bis er satt ist. Wirklich tolles Produkt.
