Introduction: Why Cleaning Matters
Your pup’s slow feeder might help with digestion — but if it’s not cleaned properly, it can trap leftover food, bacteria, and saliva that lead to bad smells or tummy upsets. 🤢
Cleaning your slow feeder regularly keeps your dog healthy and your kitchen smelling fresh.
Here are five quick, vet-approved cleaning tips to keep your bowl spotless and safe — and how the Super Feedy Small 4-in-1 Slow Feeder System makes it even easier.
1️⃣ Rinse After Every Meal
Leftover kibble, wet food, or crumbs can harden quickly in the feeder’s grooves.
Rinse your slow feeder bowl under warm water immediately after each meal to remove residue before it sticks.
If you’re using the lick-mat side of the Super Feedy bowl, a quick rinse prevents buildup of sticky ingredients like yoghurt or peanut butter.
2️⃣ Use a Mild Dog-Safe Dish Soap
Avoid harsh chemicals or human dish soaps with strong fragrances.
Instead, use a gentle, non-toxic soap designed for pet dishes.
Scrub the ridges and patterns with a soft sponge or silicone brush.
The
Super Feedy bowl’s smooth silicone surface makes it easy to clean without scratching.
3️⃣ Deep-Clean Once a Week (in the Dishwasher!)
Even with daily rinsing, give your slow feeder a deep clean once a week.
Good news: the
Super Feedy Small 4-in-1 System is 100 % dishwasher safe — both the bowl and the reversible lick mat.
Place them on the top rack and wash with your regular pet-safe detergent.
This removes bacteria and keeps your slow feeder looking brand new.
4️⃣ Check for Hidden Residue in Grooves and Edges
Food can sometimes hide in small corners or under suction edges.
Inspect the ridges and the base to make sure nothing’s left behind.
For an extra clean, soak the bowl in warm water with a splash of vinegar for 10 minutes.
This neutralises odours and loosens any stubborn food bits.
5️⃣ Store in a Dry, Clean Area
Once washed, let the bowl air-dry completely before stacking or storing.
Moisture encourages bacteria and mould, especially in enclosed spaces.
Keep your slow feeder in a dry, airy spot — or store it with the lick mat facing outward for airflow.
Bonus Tip: Rotate Between Two Bowls
If your pup eats twice a day, owning two bowls can help.
One can be in use while the other is drying or in the dishwasher.
This ensures your dog always eats from a clean bowl — no excuses!
