PawPace™ Slow Feeder Pet Bowl

The ridges are designed to slow eating, not prevent it. Your pet will get every piece of food—it just takes longer instead of 30 seconds. Most pets treat it like a fun puzzle and actually seem to enjoy the challenge. The key is starting with their regular portion size so they're motivated to work for it. Within 2-3 meals, they figure out the pattern and it becomes normal. Frustration is rare because they CAN access the food, it just requires a bit more effort.

Actually, slow feeders often REDUCE food aggression. When pets gulp their food in seconds, they're in pure panic mode—gotta eat fast before someone takes it. When eating takes several minutes, that panic response decreases. They learn food isn't disappearing, so they can relax. Many customers report their pets becoming calmer around food after consistent slow feeder use. The mental stimulation also tires them out, reducing overall reactivity.

Yes, completely dishwasher safe—top rack recommended. The product handles high heat without warping. The ridge design actually makes it easier to clean than flat bowls because debris doesn't get trapped in corners. Most customers just rinse after meals and run it through the dishwasher every few days.

The PawPace works with both, though wet food is messier. For wet food: spread it thinly across the ridges rather than plopping it in the center. Your dog will lick around the obstacles, which still slows them down. Some owners mix wet and dry food together for easier distribution. For purely wet food feeders, just know cleanup requires more rinsing. The maze pattern holds wet food well enough to slow eating—just expect a bit more cleanup time.
