The Niner Slow Feed Bowl by Neater Pet Brands - Blue, Anti-Gulping Design with Nine Peaks, Fits Large Neater Feeders, Holds 2 Cups, Dishwasher Safe
The Niner slow feed bowl uses nine raised peaks to split meals into separate pockets, helping dogs and cats eat at a gentler pace. It fits inside large Neater Feeder models and other 2-quart raised holders, but also works on its own thanks to non-skid rubber dots on the base. This blue bowl holds up to 2 cups of dry or wet food and measures 8.38 inches across the top, 7.43 inches at the base, and 2.44 inches tall. It is made from BPA-free ABS plastic, is top-rack dishwasher safe, and is designed for all life stages and breeds, including flat-faced dogs like Bulldogs and Pugs.
Nine Peaks That Turn Mealtime into a Mini Puzzle
Instead of a wide open bowl, The Niner divides food into nine small wells. This forces your pet to pick out each mouthful separately, which naturally slows gulping. Slower eating helps reduce common issues like vomiting, choking, bloat, and indigestion. The peaks are rounded and smooth to protect teeth and gums while still providing a gentle challenge. For flat-faced breeds, the low profile and wide spacing make it easier to reach the food without discomfort.
Fits Inside Large Neater Feeders and Stands Alone
The Niner is designed to be placed inside a raised feeder. It is compatible with the Neater Feeder Express Medium to Large size, the Neater Feeder Deluxe Large, and most other 2-quart elevated bowl holders. If you prefer a floor-level bowl, the anti-skid rubber dots on the bottom keep it stable on tile, wood, or concrete. This means you can use it in any setup without worrying about sliding.
Health Benefits That Go Beyond Slowing Down
Slowing eating helps your pet digest food properly and lowers the risk of weight gain from overeating. The Niner also adds mental stimulation by turning a simple bowl into a puzzle. Each meal becomes a small foraging exercise that keeps your pet engaged and can help relieve boredom. This combination of physical and mental benefits makes it a useful tool for dogs and cats that eat too fast.
Safe Materials and Easy Care
The Niner is made in the USA from ABS plastic that is BPA and phthalate-free, so it is safe for daily use. Cleaning is straightforward: place it on the top rack of the dishwasher, or wash by hand with warm soapy water. The smooth surface resists holding odors, and the nine pockets rinse out quickly.
Can Larger Dogs Use This Bowl Without Refills?
The bowl holds up to 2 cups of food at once. For small and medium dogs, that is often enough for a full meal. Larger dogs that eat more than 2 cups per meal may need a refill — the bowl does not hold more. The manufacturer notes that larger breeds may require a second serving, depending on their portion size. The Niner remains effective for slowing down even with a refill, since each cup is still split across the peaks.
