Raw food, cooked food, dry food, wet food… there are several different types of food that our dogs consume, and sometimes it can be hard to figure out which slow feeder bowl is the right one to buy. In this guide, we’ll take you through everything you need to know about getting a slow feeder bowl for wet food.
What To Look For In The Best Slow Feeder Dog Bowl For Wet Food
Being able to serve your dog wet food at a slow feeding rate is a win. However, the best slow feeder dog bowl for wet food will be able to help your dog in many more ways.
Size
The size of slow feeders varies (small to extra-large), and manufacturers indicate how many cups they hold. By reading the descriptions and reviews, ensure that the bowl matches your dog's size/breed and fits his snout. Please ensure the bowl you choose is not too big for your dog. Otherwise, he won't be challenged.
Material
You can choose from plastic, ceramic, or stainless steel bowls. Most slow feeders available today are made of plastic, but you'll have to ensure they are made of materials without phthalates, BPA, or PVC. While plastic bowls are more affordable, they are slightly porous (making bacteria harder to remove) and can be chewed off by dogs.
Puzzle difficulty
Choose a simple puzzle design that your dog can solve. A complex feeder might cause your dog to chew on the bowl out of frustration.
Design
A sturdy, non-slip base is just as important as your slow-feeder dog bowl's size and puzzle difficulty. As your dog solves the puzzle, the feeder bowl will not move.
Slow-feeder dog bowls allow your large or tall dog to stand comfortably while eating. As a result of the bowl's height, food enters his stomach easily without being constrictive. Slow-feeder dog bowls that are elevated or raised are also available on the market.

FAQs
Can You Put Raw Food In A Slow Feeder Bowl?
Short answer, yes. In some cases, it may be necessary to pre-chop or thaw the food before using it in a slow feeder bowl. But in most instances, your slow feeder will be able to fit raw food with no problems.
Do Dog Slow Feeder Dog Bowls Work With Wet Food?
Yes, but with a caveat. If the slow feeder bowl has a complex design pattern, wet food can be more difficult for dog to access, and this may frustrate many dogs. Choose a slow feeder bowl that is versatile for wet and dry food and will work for your breed and personality of your dog.
You might like to try using our reversible dog lick mat instead, or try mixing dry and wet food to create a texture that works better with the slow feeder mechanism.
