GORILLA GRIP Slow Feeder Dog Bowl | Stop Bloat & Improve Digestion
Watching your dog inhale their dinner in ten seconds flat is stressful — for both of you. That frantic gulping leads to bloated bellies, messy regurgitation, and long-term digestive issues. The GORILLA GRIP Slow Feeder Dog Bowl is a BPA-free puzzle bowl designed to turn chaotic mealtimes into calm, brain-teasing enrichment. Available in 3 sizes and 9 colors, it works for dogs and cats of any breed or size. Over 10,000+ US pet parents trust PawVortex to keep their pups healthy and happy.
What Makes This Slow Feeder Dog Bowl Different
Most slow feeder bowls slide across the floor the moment an excited dog starts eating. GORILLA GRIP's patented rubber base grips hardwood, tile, and carpet so firmly that even the most enthusiastic eater can't send the bowl flying — no mat required. The maze ridges stand 1.8 inches tall on the 1-cup and 2-cup models (2.4 inches on the 4-cup), forcing your pet to navigate around each obstacle and slowing consumption by up to 40%. That dramatically reduces the gulped air that causes bloat and vomiting.
The bowl is made from BPA-free food-grade plastic — gentle on snouts and safe for wet food, dry kibble, fresh food, water, or frozen treats. Dishwasher safe on the top rack. For dogs who need extra mental work, pair it with an interactive dog feeder to rotate enrichment tools.
Key Features
- Slows eating by up to 40%: The built-in maze ridges force your dog to work around each section, reducing gulped air and preventing bloat, vomiting, and digestive discomfort.
- Patented non-slip rubber base: Curves around the entire bottom to grip hardwood, tile, and carpet without needing a mat. For the most enthusiastic eaters, pair with the Gorilla Grip Pet Feeding Mat.
- 3 sizes for any breed: 1-cup (7×7×1.8in) for cats and small dogs under 20 lbs; 2-cup (8.5×8.5×1.8in) for medium breeds 20–50 lbs; 4-cup (10×10×2.4in) for large and giant breeds 50+ lbs.
- 9 colors available: Gray, Beige, Black, Light Blue, Orange, Pink, Red, Sage, and Turquoise.
- BPA-free and dishwasher safe: Food-grade plastic safe for all food types — wet, dry, fresh, water, or ice. Top-rack dishwasher safe.
- Works for dogs and cats: Maze depth and bowl dimensions suit both species — ideal for multi-pet households. For a stainless steel option, see our double wall dog bowl.
- Freeze for extra enrichment: Fill with wet food, broth, or plain yogurt and freeze overnight for a 20-minute licking puzzle that tires out even high-energy breeds.
Who This Is For
This slow feeder is for any pet parent who dreads mealtime because their dog eats like a vacuum cleaner. If you've ever heard your dog gulp air, watched them vomit undigested kibble ten minutes after eating, or noticed a bloated belly after dinner — this bowl is your solution. It's also perfect for multi-pet households where one dog finishes first and bullies the other's bowl. Cats benefit too: the 1-cup size fits feline faces perfectly and slows down scarf-and-barf cats. Puppies learn good eating habits early, seniors with digestive sensitivity get relief from bloat, and high-energy breeds get mental stimulation at every meal.
