WHIPPY Slow Feeder Large Dog Bowl - Lavender, Non-Slip Maze Puzzle for Bloat Prevention

The WHIPPY Slow Feeder Large Dog Bowl in Lavender is a plastic puzzle bowl designed to slow down rapid eating. It measures 9.84 inches in diameter at the base and holds about 1.5 cups of food. Ideal for dogs of all sizes who eat too quickly, it features a spiral maze pattern and six non-slip pads to keep it stable. This bowl works with dry, wet, or raw food and is top-rack dishwasher safe.

Why use a slow feeder?

Dogs that gulp down their meals can choke, vomit, or develop bloating—a serious condition. The WHIPPY bowl's spiral maze forces your dog to work around obstacles, slowing eating by 10–15 minutes. This encourages better digestion and can help manage weight by making mealtime more engaging. The design also reduces gulping of air, which is a common cause of bloat in deep-chested breeds.

Design details

The bowl is made from food-grade plastic in a calming lavender color. It has a top diameter of 9.64 inches, a bottom diameter of 9.84 inches, and a depth of 1.37 inches. The maze pattern consists of concentric ridges and a central island that create a challenging path. Six rubber pads on the base grip the floor to prevent sliding or tipping, even during enthusiastic eating. The bowl is lightweight at just 10.55 ounces, making it easy to move and clean.

Cleaning and maintenance

This bowl is easy to clean: place it on the top rack of your dishwasher or wash by hand with warm, soapy water. The smooth plastic surface releases food residue quickly. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the maze pattern. With proper care, the bowl will last through many meals without fading or warping.

How can I get my dog used to the slow feeder?

Some dogs may be hesitant at first. Start by placing a few treats or a portion of their food on top of the maze without burying it. Gradually fill the grooves over a few days. Most dogs adapt within a week and begin to enjoy the challenge.

Is this bowl safe for puppies?

Yes, the WHIPPY bowl is suitable for puppies as well as adult dogs. The maze slows eating without causing frustration. Always supervise your puppy during meal times to ensure they are eating comfortably.

Does the lavender color fade over time?

The color is built into the plastic and does not fade under normal use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high heat, which can affect any plastic product.
