Plastic and Silicone Slow Food Feeder for Cats and Dogs – 34.5cm Busy Licking Plate

If your cat or dog eats too fast, you have probably seen the results: vomiting, bloating, or gulping air. This slow food feeder addresses that common problem by creating a gentle obstacle that forces your pet to work for each mouthful. The maze-like ridges on the 34.5cm diameter surface encourage slower eating, giving the stomach more time to signal fullness and reducing the risk of digestive upset. Beyond slowing down, the busy disk pattern also provides mental enrichment, turning mealtime into a problem-solving activity that keeps pets engaged. Made from a combination of PP plastic and silicone, this plate is practical for everyday use and straightforward to clean.

Features and Construction

This slow feeder is designed with both function and ease of use in mind. Its wide, flat shape and stable weight help prevent tipping during enthusiastic feeding sessions.

Material and Build

The plate is manufactured from PP plastic and silicone, two materials commonly used in food-contact items. The PP plastic provides a rigid base that holds its shape, while the silicone elements add flexibility and grip, preventing the plate from sliding across the floor. Together, these materials create a smooth but textured eating surface that resists scratches from teeth or claws.

Size and Practical Fit

With a diameter of 34.5cm and a height of 5.5cm, this feeder fits comfortably inside most standard feeding stations or on open floor areas. Its 740g weight keeps it grounded, so even enthusiastic eaters will struggle to push it around. The shallow 5.5cm depth works equally well for dry kibble, wet food, or lickable treats.

Uses and Placement

This slow feeder is versatile enough for different feeding routines and home environments.

Event or Professional Use

Dog trainers, pet sitters, and kennel staff can use this plate to control feeding speed across multiple animals. Its large surface area allows for distributed treats or meals, encouraging each animal to take their time rather than gulping from a bowl.

Everyday Home Use

For pet owners, this feeder fits neatly into daily feeding routines. Use it for morning and evening meals, or as a treat-dispensing toy during quiet times. The low profile means it does not take up much space in cupboards or under counters.

Benefits and Buying Value

Investing in a slow feeder can reduce the mess and health concerns linked to rapid eating.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

The PP plastic and silicone construction withstands repeated use and regular hand washing. The non-porous surface resists food residue, so a quick rinse after each meal usually suffices. No specialist cleaning is required, and the materials do not absorb odours easily.

Why Choose This Product

This feeder offers a practical solution to a common pet problem without added complexity. Its 34.5cm size suits both cats and small-to-medium dogs, and the busy disk pattern provides cognitive stimulation alongside physical slowing. If you want a no-fuss way to improve your pet's eating habits, this plate delivers on the essentials.
