Product Information
Full details
The Hem & Boo Anti Gulp Slow Feeder Dog Bowl is for pet owners seeking to improve their dog's eating habits by reducing gulping. Its primary benefit is promoting a slower, more controlled pace of eating, which can aid digestion and reduce the risk of bloating. A minor caveat is that the color of the bowl is selected at random. This medium/large bowl features an internal maze design, is constructed from durable, pet-safe materials, and is easy to clean for daily use.

FAQs
What size is this slow feeder bowl?
This is the Medium/Large size, with a diameter of 22cm.
Can I choose the color of the bowl?
No, the colors are assorted, and one will be chosen at random for your order.
What type of food can I use with this bowl?
It is suitable for dry kibble and can also be used with wet food.
Is this bowl dishwasher safe?
Yes, it can be washed on the top rack of most dishwashers. Hand washing with warm, soapy water is also recommended.
How does the maze design help my dog?
The maze design forces your dog to eat more slowly, taking more bites and reducing the risk of gulping air, which can lead to digestive issues like bloating.
Is the material safe for my pet?
Yes, the bowl is made from durable, pet-safe materials.
Will this bowl work for my very small dog?
This bowl is sized for Medium/Large breeds (22cm diameter). For very small dogs, a smaller slow feeder might be more appropriate to prevent overwhelming them.
Troubleshooting
Dog is not interacting with the maze
Ensure the food is distributed within the maze sections and not just in the center. For very hesitant dogs, you can initially place a few high-value treats within the maze to encourage exploration.
Dog is frustrated or tipping the bowl
Confirm the bowl is on a stable surface. If the dog is still struggling, try breaking up larger kibble pieces or temporarily using a less challenging slow feeder until they adapt. The 22cm size might be too large for very small breeds, leading to frustration.
Food gets stuck in the maze
Ensure food pieces are not excessively large or sticky. Clean the bowl thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup that can make navigation difficult.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply place the Hem & Boo Slow Feeder Bowl on the floor and fill it with your dog's regular dry food or wet food. Ensure the bowl is placed on a stable, non-slip surface to prevent movement during feeding.
Compatibility: This bowl is compatible with most standard dry kibble and can also be used with wet food, although wet food may require slightly more effort to navigate the maze. It is best suited for medium to large dog breeds due to its 22cm diameter.
Care: To clean the bowl, hand wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before refilling. Alternatively, it can be washed on the top rack of most dishwashers.
