Anti-Gulp & Slow Feeding Bowls: A Smarter Way to Feed Your Pet

Does your pet eat too fast? Slow feeding bowls and mats are designed to help pets eat at a healthier pace, reducing the risk of bloating, choking, and digestive issues. At Woonona Petfoods, we offer a wide range of anti-gulp bowls and slow feeders to promote better digestion and mealtime enrichment for dogs and cats.

Why Use a Slow Feeding Bowl or Mat?

Many pets gobble up their food too quickly, which can lead to:

• Bloating & Digestive Issues: Eating too fast can cause stomach discomfort and gas
• Choking & Vomiting: Large mouthfuls can lead to gagging or regurgitation
• Obesity & Overeating: Slower eating promotes fullness and portion control
• Lack of Mealtime Engagement: Traditional bowls make feeding too quick and unstimulating 

Slow feeding bowls and mats extend mealtime, encouraging pets to eat at a safer, healthier pace while also providing mental stimulation.

How Do Slow Feeding Bowls Work?

Slow feeders have raised ridges, patterns, or obstacles that make it harder for pets to gulp down food. Instead of inhaling their meal in seconds, they must navigate the bowl to access their food, naturally slowing their eating.

For pets that prefer licking over chewing, slow feeding mats offer a gentle way to extend feeding time. Simply spread their favourite soft food (like peanut butter or yogurt) onto the textured surface for a longer-lasting, calming mealtime experience.

FAQs: Slow Feeding Bowls & Mats

Do Slow Feeding Bowls Actually Work?

Yes! Veterinarians and pet owners have seen significant improvements in digestion and eating habits with slow feeders. By forcing pets to eat more slowly, these bowls reduce the risk of bloating, choking, and digestive discomfort.

What is the Best Way to Clean a Slow Feeding Bowl or Mat?

Most slow feeders and mats are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended). For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a brush to clean between ridges. Silicone mats can be soaked in warm water to loosen dried food.

Are Slow Feeders Suitable for All Dogs and Cats?

Absolutely! Slow feeding bowls and mats are great for all breeds and sizes, especially pets that eat too quickly. For brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds, look for designs with shallower ridges for easier access.
