The Buddies Slow Feed Dog Bowl stops your dog inhaling their food. A raised maze pattern forces them to nose their way around the ridges — turning a 20-second gobble into a 15-minute meal that's healthier for their gut and gentler on their stomach.
Why owners love it
- 5-10× slower eating — the internal maze pattern makes bolting impossible, cutting bloat, vomiting and reflux risk.
- Reduces bloat & GDV risk — vets consistently recommend slow feeders for deep-chested breeds prone to life-threatening gastric torsion.
- Turns dinner into enrichment — the puzzle element gives your dog a mental workout every meal, useful for anxious or under-stimulated dogs.
- Non-slip rubber base — 20.5cm base grips kitchen tile and laminate so the bowl doesn't skid across the floor mid-meal.
- Food-safe PP construction — BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, and easy to wipe between meals.
Who it's for
Fast eaters (retrievers, spaniels, labs, boxers), deep-chested breeds at risk of GDV, dogs that regurgitate after meals, and puppies still learning that food isn't a race.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you buy. Still unsure? Our UK team is happy to help.
Contact us →Will my dog get frustrated?
The maze is challenging enough to slow eating but easy enough to prevent giving up. Fast-eater breeds usually adapt within 2-3 meals.
Which breeds benefit most?
Retrievers, labs, spaniels, boxers — any fast eater. Deep-chested breeds (GSDs, weimaraners, dobermans, great danes) benefit most from GDV risk reduction.
Can it be used with wet food?
Yes. Rinse thoroughly between meals — the maze grooves catch food easily.
Which size for my dog?
The 19cm bowl suits small to medium breeds. Very large breeds (retrievers, GSDs) may need to eat in two sittings.
