Easy to clean and slows the flow of food … a bit

Au top je l'utilise chaque jours et mon chat l'a adopté après quelque jours

Mi gata se atragantaba al comer. Desde que usa ese plato ya no.

Mein verfressener 🐈Chef hat damit die Zeit seiner Mahlzeiten von "quasi inhaliert" auf gute 10 Min gebracht. Bei ca 80 - 100 gr Nassfutter. Mehr paßt auch nicht rein!Farbe gut, Effekt gut, Reinigung wegen der eckigen Rillen bei angetrocknetem Futter nicht schön (Handwäsche) Spülmaschine kann ich nicht beurteilen.Jederzeit wieder. Aber er hält vermutlich länger als mein Chef. 🤷‍♀️

Our female cat has earned the nickname "Hoover" as she is known to vacuum up almost any food she can get to. Potato chips, spicy corn chips, even pickle slices- if she can get to it, she will eat it, or try to eat it. Any time we give her more than a tiny handful of kibble, she will invariably devour it so fast that it comes right back up. Our much slower eating boy cat had been very tolerant of her Hoovering up his food as well as her own, so we started feeding them in different rooms so he would get more than a small portion of food before she inhaled it all.As she can't be given more than a teaspoon's amount of food at a time (any more, and you will find yourself stepping in a pile of it on the carpet a few minutes later) we decided to look for a bowl that could slow down her eating. This bowl had decent reviews and was not expensive, so we gave it a try. It appears to be well-made, and not too difficult to clean- the channels in it are big enough to get a brush into.At first, "Hoover" was not pleased with this new food receptacle. At ALL. She could smell and see all those tasty nuggets that she usually made disappear within thirty seconds, but she couldn't get at them easily any longer. I could see she was frustrated, so I put down a few pieces of kibble right next to the new bowl. She gulped down this small bit of food, then looked at me, wanting more. I then tapped the bowl and "showed" her the kibble sitting in the channels of the bowl.At first, she walked away from this strange thing. Maybe her "real" bowl would re-appear, and she wouldn't have to deal with this kibble puzzle dish. She came back and checked out the new bowl again, and managed to get a few pieces of kibble out of it. I noticed she was shoving the bowl around with her paw on the cushion-y "placemat" we have under the cats' food and water. She got a few more pieces of kibble.She never flipped the bowl over entirely, which is what I was waiting for (and dreading.) The placemat we have keeps the bowl from moving around very much, so I can't attest to the bowl's "suction" (?) effectiveness. I just checked out the underside of the bowl, and don't see any suction cups or anything, but we keep their bowls on the cushy placemat anyway, so it's not going anywhere.She returned to the strange object that was holding her food hostage again and again, and each time managed to get out a few more pieces of kibble. I just checked the bowl, and there are about a dozen or so pieces of kibble sitting in it, which is amazing to see, as she is so strongly food-motivated.The bowl just arrived this afternoon, so I can't attest to its effectiveness in the long-term, but it seems to be a success so far. It has broken the feeding time cycle of giving her a tiny bit of kibble, her begging for more food, giving a tiny bit more kibble, then begging again, etc. I'll report back after a week or so. Hopefully, this new bowl will continue to keep our Hoover-cat on a lower setting.Edit: it's been about four days of her using the new bowl. As we saw that she had been leaving about half of the kibble in the bowl after eating (unheard of with a regular bowl) we increased the minimal amount of kibble we gave her to her entire morning portion. A day or so ago, if we checked the bowl after she appeared to finish eating, and there would be about seven to ten nuggets of kibble left. When she begged later, we just tapped the bowl. She got the message: if she wanted more kibble she would have to extract it from the bowl. ---- We noticed yesterday after giving her the evening's kibble allotment that the new bowl with its challenging channels was completely empty. She has figured out how to get all of the kibble out of her new bowl. After we fed her this morning, sure enough, she got all of the kibble out of it. But the bowl is still a success, as it has really slowed down her eating. In a way, she is now eating like a normal cat- and not like a fur-covered Dirt Devil. Very happy with our purchase, and if you have a Hoover kitty of your own, we highly recommend this bowl. :)

Un alimentador portatil de facil uso y gran ayuda para alimentar a los perros que no controlan la velocidad de comer.

Tiene buena calidad pero el interior es demasiado alto por lo que mi gato no lo acepto, tenia que meter la patita para sacar las croquetas y se estreso, aprendió a voltear el plato y no nos funcionó, limpiarlo tambien es dificil!

La parte central está tan alta que el plato tendría que estar lleno para que el gato pudiera comer. Lo usé en mi gatito de 3 meses y ni siquiera cabía su boquita, se esforzó demasiado y mejor vacié sus croquetas al tazón normal. Estaría genial si la parte central fuera más baja. Una lástima porque es de buena calidad, pero mal diseñado.

Es un poco incómodo para la boquita del gatito, siento que se estresa al tratar de tomar las croquetas que están al fondo, tengo que rellenar todo el tiempo a tope para que no se estrese tanto.

Le es imposible a mi gato comer de ese plato, están muy altos los separadores de las croquetas.

Excelente plato para que tu mascota se acostumbre a comer despacio, pero recomiendo mas que consigas un juguete de esos que se les meten las croquetas dentro y les tiene que pegar para que salgan.Compre el plato y si me sirvió, pero aun veía que comía rápido y mejor decidí comprarle un juguete para que sacara las croquetas.El plato es excelente para gatos chicos y medianos. Mi gato no es de raza, pero se asemeja a un persa y es mas grande y gordo que un gato de la calle que sueles ser flaquitos y chicos.No tengo foto, pero es un plato pequeño. No lo recomiendo para perros medianos. Mas bien es para razas pequeñas como del tamaño de un gato adulto.

Bought this dish to slow my cat's eating, it has worked perfectly. I put wet food with kibble on top and instead of gobbling in minutes, this slowed his meal time to 15-20 minutes (to get all the bits!). The bowl is sturdy and I chose a harder material so that he would not eat rubber parts. It is pretty easy to clean considering the shape and there are rubber feet on the bottom that also help it not move around on the floor. The shapes in the center are about 1" high and you can fit a large portion for a cat or small dog and a good size portion for small/medium sizes. Overall very happy with it and will probably buy another.

Es demasiado pequeño
