Maze bowl for slow eating

Works great with dry food, but gets a bit messy with canned food. Otherwise, it's a useful bowl.

Baks, our Golden, has always been a speed-eater — burping right after dinner, sometimes vomiting it back up within minutes. Bowl after bowl, nothing helped until this one. It's the depth of the maze that does it; he's stuck working the kibble out of the grooves for a solid quarter hour instead of two gulps. A week in and the vomiting was just gone. He does try gnawing on the edges once he's licked everything clean, but the plastic hasn't given at all. Honestly relieved — feels like he actually eats now instead of just gulping it down without chewing.

The pattern inside is complex. The dog really has to work hard to get all the wet food out.

Got the purple bowl for my Labrador, the color is nice and it doesn't look like a child's toy in the kitchen.

The feeder is perfect for a large dog. My pet loves the process of foraging for the kibble.

Bought one to try out, now I'll order a second one for the country house.

I liked that you can choose the difficulty level. We started with the Slower one, and the dog adjusted calmly.

The color is bright, making the bowl easy to spot among the dog's stuff in the car after a walk.

Even chunky wet food gets distributed into the sections, so the dog doesn't just gulp it all down at once.

The purple color looked paler in the photo; in person, it's bright. Otherwise, no complaints, getting a second one.

The maze genuinely slowed down my Labrador; the burping is almost gone. Downside: wet food gets stuck in the corners.

The ridges aren't sharp. My dog aggressively licks the bottom, and his nose and tongue are perfectly fine.

After wet food, the bowl washes out with no issues. The plastic is smooth and doesn't hold onto smells.

The purple plastic didn't stain from wet food with carrots, even though I was worried it would.

We got the medium difficulty level for our Shepherd. She started eating much calmer right away, without swallowing air.

It weighs practically nothing, yet it's very stable. The plastic feels nice to the touch.

Meals used to end with our retriever bringing it all back up more often than not. That's happened a lot less since we switched to this bowl.

One package is enough, didn't need to buy anything extra. Took it out, washed it, and started using it right away.

Got the Slower level for my Beagle: the food doesn't disappear in a minute anymore. But for the first two days, he was frustrated.

Large kibble doesn't get stuck completely; the dog gets it out himself without any help.

On the Slow setting, the bowl was perfect for my senior dog. He eats slower but doesn't get tired.

For our large dog, the portion fits fine, but the bowl takes up more space against the wall than I expected.

The bowl is wide, so the Boxer's snout doesn't get stuck, but he still has to work to get the food out.

The pattern is more complex than in our old bowl, and the dog eats noticeably calmer. It does take longer to wash, yes.

I wash it after every feeding with a regular sponge, and it fits perfectly fine between all the ridges.

I got it as a beginner level for my puppy. It holds enough food for a full portion.

Martin is a beagle, so naturally dinner used to be gone in under sixty seconds, followed by him wandering around burping for the next ten minutes. We've had the Fernpaw bowl in rotation for his evening meal for about a week and a half now. He actually has to trace the maze with his tongue to get anything out, which slows him right down. No more mad dash to the water bowl afterward either — he just settles. Would happily buy a second one.

The ridges are quite deep, so the dog has to make an effort to get the food out. Fun to watch.

The walls are just tall enough to keep her floppy ears out of the wet food without making it awkward for her to reach in.

After a regular bowl, the difference is immediately noticeable: more sniffing, less swallowing air.

With wet food, the maze works even better than I expected; the pieces don't fly out.

Dinner has become noticeably calmer for our shepherd: the ridges really stop her from gulping everything down at once.

No more post-dinner burping fits or hiccup attacks — whatever the maze design is doing, it's actually working for us.

The plastic is sturdy, and there was no smell. It's a pity the bowl sometimes slides on smooth tile.

The plastic feels sturdy, the edges are smooth, and my husky didn't scratch her nose.

The purple color is pleasant, not too bright. But marks from pate are visible on it after washing.

The bowl is lightweight, easy to move between the kitchen and the balcony, but the shape doesn't feel flimsy.

The maze is high, the kibble doesn't just sit in a pile on top, and the dog has to work with his nose and tongue.

I got the hardest level for my Great Dane. Now instead of one minute, he eats for about ten.

Easy to wash in the sink. It's a great item, with a smooth surface and no sharp corners.

It worked better than a regular bowl for wet pate: I spread it thinly, and the dog eats without rushing.

Feeding has become slower, though not ten times slower like I hoped. Still, there is a result.

For a medium-sized dog, the size is more than enough; I don't have to add more food halfway through the meal.

It holds exactly four cups of dry food. That's now more than enough for my Labrador's lunch.

The main win for us is that our retriever isn't queasy after meals anymore. Only gripe is that the tiniest pieces of kibble tend to disappear into the narrower channels and take a bit of hunting to clean out.

The depth is good, and the kibble doesn't fly all over the kitchen. Only our shepherd's nose catches on the central ridges.

I pour dry food into the deep grooves, and my dog searches for the kibble and eats much more slowly.

I liked that it's suitable for both wet and dry food. But drying the ridges after washing is inconvenient.

It doesn't weigh much, but it doesn't slide all over the floor if you place it on a mat under the bowls.

The large diameter is convenient: our dog doesn't push the bowl with his paw, and it stands steadily on the tile.

He used to practically gag himself trying to eat so quickly. These days it takes him a while to finish, and he hasn't thrown up once since we started using it.

I got the Slower version, it's challenging enough for my teenage puppy, he doesn't get frustrated and finishes his food calmly.

For a medium-sized dog, the size is even a bit too large, the food doesn't scatter. I would love to see portion marks inside.

A portion for a large dog fits perfectly, nothing spills over the edge.

The 30 by 30 size fits perfectly in the tray. It hasn't tipped over once during feeding.

Because greyhounds eat with their heads so low to the ground, we needed something with enough of a rim to contain wet food, and this one does the job without him making a mess.

It's best to use a mat on laminate flooring, but the bowl itself is super, mealtime has become much quieter.

The plastic is high-quality and sturdy, the dog couldn't chew through it. Excellent item.

The pattern isn't too easy, my dog was puzzled for the first few days, but then quickly got the hang of it.

Our Cane Corso is still young but already eats like it's a competitive sport — his old bowl would be licked clean almost the second we set it down. This one actually has enough surface area to spread a big portion across the whole maze, so he's forced to work section by section instead of one big gulp. A handful of feedings in, we noticed the drooling afterward tapered off, and he's stopped pestering us for more food five minutes later like clockwork.

For our fast eater, the Slowest level was just right, dinner takes much longer now.

The depth is sufficient for our Doberman, he doesn't rake the food out onto the floor like he used to.

The maze shape keeps our dog occupied, he doesn't eat like a vacuum cleaner anymore. But now the cat also comes over to check out the bowl.

In the morning, I pour in a full portion, the food distributes evenly in the maze and doesn't get stuck in one corner.

It actually turned breakfast into a game for our Border Collie, but without any stress, he gets every single kibble out.

Bought this for my large mutt, the bowl's width is a perfect fit, his snout fits inside comfortably.

There was one bowl in the box, it arrived without any damage. For this price, it would be nice to have a storage lid.

My German Shepherd, Nora, is wary of new things, so at first I put a few treats in the shallower sections. After two days, she was already calmly eating her regular portion from the maze. I especially like that the bowl is large and doesn't turn dinner into an overly difficult task. We are keeping it for daily feeding.

Rocky's always been the type to finish breakfast before I've even put the bag away, especially with dry kibble. The ridges in this bowl catch the pieces so he's picking them out one at a time rather than scooping mouthfuls. We run level three in the evening and drop it down a notch some mornings when we're in a rush. He brings food back up far less often now, and honestly I'm already planning to grab a second one to keep in the car for trips.

The bowl is lightweight, easy to carry between the kitchen and the terrace. But the puppy did knock the empty one over a couple of times.

The design with circular tracks suited our dog perfectly, he doesn't flip the bowl over with his nose.

Luna would practically vacuum her kibble and end up with hiccups every single time — it got to be a running joke in the house. The purple bowl spreads everything through the grooves so she can't just scoop it all in one go, she has to hunt each piece down. Two weeks of using it morning and night and she's noticeably calmer at mealtime, plus there's barely any scattered kibble around the bowl anymore like there used to be.
