• Safe for pets, non-toxic
• 100% Recyclable, environmentally friendly

CONS

• The bowl might be too large if you are thinking of a small dish
• The slow bowl is rather large for a single cat
• Grooves and valleys are too deep for some cats to eat from them
• When kibble is too small and round, it’s harder for cats to eat them
• Some kibble might not get eaten by the cat if dropped in hard-to-reach areas of the maze.

CONCLUSION

Slow Feed Cat Bowl is a good maze dish to slow down cats when eating, which reduces or completely eliminates cats vomiting. This is very important if you have a cat that likes to inhales food because you can help him or her to be healthier physically and mentally because cats like to keep busy in working mazes. Unlike other types of slow feeders such as the Tiger Bowl, the Slow Feed Bowl features groves 1.25″ deep that really makes the cat work for its food. It’s not only about dragging the kibble with its paws, but the feline needs to scoop it out somehow with its paws and claws to get it out of the grooves.

The maze dish could be too large and its grooves too deep for a small cat, especially if you don’t free-feed your cat because if you pour only one meal in it, the food will be harder to reach than when filling the dish to the top.

Other than this particular situation, the Slow Feed Cat Bowl is a very good slow-down feeder that is highly recommended for medium to large-sized cats that need to slow down when eating or for two cats that share the same bowl.

If you have two cats and one of the bullies the other for food, the best solution is buying two slow feeders. You can save from 5% up to 30% when buying two or more units on Amazon.
