Slow Down, Save Earth: The Slow Feeding Bowls for Dogs makes Happier
Slow feeding bowls for dogs ?
Ever watch your furry friend inhale their dinner in seconds flat? You’re not alone. Gobbling down food can lead to digestion issues, bloating, and even weight gain in dogs. That’s where slow feeding bowls come in – a simple solution with big benefits for both your pup and the planet.
Here’s why a slow feeder might be the missing piece in your dog’s feeding routine:
- Tummy Troubles: Fast eating can lead to indigestion, gas, and even bloat, a life-threatening condition.
- Choking Hazard: Gobbling down kibble increases the risk of choking, especially for smaller dogs.
- Weight Woes: Inhale-a-meal pups are more likely to become overweight, leading to a host of health problems.
But wait, there’s more! Slow feeding bowls aren’t just good for your dog; they’re good for the environment too. Here at eh.eco, we’re passionate about creating sustainable products that benefit both pets and the planet. Our slow feeding dog bowls are made from eco-friendly materials, so you can feel good about what your pup is eating out of.
Here’s how eh.eco’s slow feeding bowls for dogs help your dog slow down and savor their meal:
- Maze Design: Raised ridges and maze patterns in the bowl make it a challenge for your dog to scarf down their food. This encourages them to take their time and chew their kibble properly.
- Portion Control: Many slow feeding bowls come with markings on the inside to help you measure the perfect amount of food for your dog’s size and breed.
- Mental Stimulation: The puzzle aspect of a slow feeding bowl can be mentally stimulating for your dog, reducing boredom and destructive behavior.
Choosing the right Slow Feeding Bowls for Dogs:
- Size Matters: Pick a bowl that’s large enough for your dog’s usual food portion, but not so big they can easily bypass the maze and gobble everything down.
- Material Matters: We recommend choosing a slow feeding bowl made from durable, non-toxic materials like eco-friendly bamboo or recycled plastic. (We accidentally ordered a batch of our recycled plastic bowls in a slightly off-shade of blue – whoops! They’re still just as effective, and we might even have a special discount for those who don’t mind the slightly funky color.)
- Easy Cleaning: Look for a bowl that’s dishwasher-safe for a quick and easy clean after dinner time.

Making the switch to a slow feeding bowl:
It might take your dog a little while to adjust to a new way of eating. Be patient and positive during the transition. Start with a small amount of food in the bowl and gradually increase the amount as your dog gets used to it.
