Slow Feeder Mat for Pets

Dogs that eat too quickly can be at risk for bloat (gastric dilatation volvulus), sometimes called a “twisted stomach.” This is a life-threatening condition where the stomach fills with gas and food, and in severe cases, can rotate on itself. Large, deep-chested breeds like Great Danes, German Shepherds, and Boxers are especially prone, but any dog can be affected.

How Eating Too Fast Causes Problems

• Air intake: Gulping down food means swallowing a lot of air.

• Stomach expansion: The stomach stretches like a balloon.

• Danger: If it twists, blood flow is cut off and emergency surgery is often needed.

How This Slow Feeder Helps

• Slows eating speed – Maze-like ridges force your dog to take smaller bites instead of inhaling food.

• Reduces swallowed air – Less air going down with the kibble means less bloating.

• Supports digestion – Slower chewing gives the stomach time to start breaking down food.

• Encourages mental stimulation – Turns mealtime into a fun puzzle, helping reduce boredom and anxiety.
