Dog Bowls & Feeding

The right dog bowl depends on how your dog eats. Slow feeder bowls with maze patterns help dogs that gulp their food, lick mats and lick bowls make a meal last longer, and anti splash water bowls help messy drinkers. Our feeding range starts from £14, in plastic, silicone and stainless steel.

Choosing Dog Bowls & Feeding

Slow feeders for fast eaters

If your dog finishes its meal in seconds, a slow feeder bowl spreads the food around raised ridges, so your dog has to eat more slowly. Choose a pattern that suits your dog's face: flat faced breeds such as Pugs and French Bulldogs do better with shallow patterns.

Lick mats and lick bowls

Lick mats and lick bowls have a textured surface for wet food, yoghurt or spreadable treats. Licking takes longer than eating from a bowl. Mats with suction cups stay in place on the floor or the side of the bath.

Water bowls

Anti splash water bowls have a floating disc that limits how much water your dog can scoop up at once, which helps dogs that splash and dribble. Keep fresh water available at all times and wash bowls daily.

Materials and cleaning

Stainless steel is durable and easy to clean. Silicone is flexible and good for lick mats and foldable bowls. Wash bowls after every meal. For more puzzle feeding, see Interactive Dog Toys and Snuffle Mats.

Frequently asked questions

Do slow feeder bowls work?

Yes, slow feeder bowls make dogs eat more slowly because the food is spread between ridges. They suit dogs that gulp their food. Introduce the bowl gradually if your dog seems frustrated.

What is the best bowl for a dog that eats too fast?

A slow feeder bowl with a maze pattern is the simplest option. Snuffle mats and treat dispensing toys also slow eating down.

What is a lick mat used for?

A lick mat is a textured silicone mat for spreading soft food or treats. Your dog licks the food off slowly, which makes the treat last longer.

How do I stop my dog splashing water everywhere?

An anti splash water bowl with a floating disc limits how much water your dog can lap up at once. Placing the bowl on a mat also helps.

Is a stainless steel bowl better than plastic?

Stainless steel is durable, does not hold smells and is easy to clean. Plastic and silicone are lighter and come in more shapes. Whichever you choose, wash the bowl daily.
