Product Information

Full details

The Scruffs Icon Slow Feeder Pet Bowl is designed for dogs and cats that tend to bolt their food, helping to manage their eating pace effectively. By utilizing internal raised patterns, the bowl encourages pets to work for their food, which significantly aids in digestion and helps lower the risk of common issues like bloat, regurgitation, and excessive weight gain. While this durable stoneware bowl provides excellent stability during mealtime, its heavy weight and fixed size mean it is less portable compared to lightweight plastic alternatives.

FAQs

Is this bowl suitable for both cats and dogs?

Yes, the 16cm size is appropriate for smaller dogs and cats, provided they are comfortable navigating the internal ridges.

Can I put this in the dishwasher?

Yes, the Scruffs Icon bowl is dishwasher safe.

Is the material safe for food?

Yes, it is made from food-grade stoneware ceramic.

Will the bowl prevent my pet from getting all their food?

No, the design is intended to slow down the process, not restrict access to the food entirely.

Can I use this for water?

While it can hold water, it is primarily designed as a food feeder to slow down eating. Using it for water will not provide any nutritional benefit.

Is it microwave safe?

Yes, you can use the bowl in the microwave, but ensure you check that the food is not too hot before giving it to your pet.

Troubleshooting

Bowl slides on slippery tile floors

Place the bowl on a thin rubber mat or rug to provide additional friction and stability.

Food residue stuck in crevices

Soak the bowl in warm, soapy water for 5-10 minutes, then use a bottle brush to dislodge particles from the raised patterns.

Pet is frustrated by the bowl

Try mixing a small amount of water with dry kibble or using a softer wet food to make the eating process slightly easier for the pet as they adjust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the Scruffs Icon bowl, simply place it on a flat, level surface where your pet eats. No special assembly is required.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Place the bowl in the dishwasher for standard cleaning. If hand-washing, use a soft sponge to ensure you reach the gaps between the raised internal patterns.
  • Heating: You can safely microwave the bowl if you need to slightly warm wet food, but always test the temperature of the food before serving to ensure it is not too hot for your pet.
  • Safety Check: Periodically inspect the ceramic for any chips. While the material is resistant to bites, discontinue use if a significant crack or chip appears to prevent potential injury.
