SUS304 Stainless Steel Slow Feeder Ball for Small Dogs – 2.5 Inch – Prevents Choking and Bloating
SUS304 Stainless Steel Slow Feeder Ball for Small Dogs – 2.5 Inch – Prevents Choking and Bloating
This SUS304 stainless steel slow feeder ball is designed to slow down fast-eating small dogs and puppies. Measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and weighing about 5.6 ounces, it fits dog bowls with an internal diameter of 4.5 to 5.5 inches. The sphere's smooth, durable surface creates a positive barrier that prolongs feeding time by roughly 50%, helping to reduce the risk of choking, bloating, and obesity.
How It Works
Place the ball in your dog's bowl along with their usual food. As the dog eats, the ball rolls and shifts, forcing them to work around it. This simple obstacle slows their intake and encourages more deliberate chewing. The stainless steel construction is non-toxic and safe, with no sharp edges that could harm your pet.

Compatibility and Use

Its smooth, rounded shape prevents accidental swallowing and makes cleaning straightforward with a quick rinse or wipe.
