Best Cat Slow Feeders of 2025

"My tiny kitty has been puking a lot lately, and despite multiple vet visits, nothing was wrong. I believe she eats too fast, so I got this slow feeder. It’s a good size and definitely slows her down. I just hope it resolves the puking!"

"I use this puzzle to give my little guy treats, and I absolutely love that it exercises his mind. He normally gobbles treats, but this puzzle helps him eat more slowly. He figured it out quickly—he's really smart!"

"This product is well made and I’m sure it’s great for cats that want to forage more. My cat will eat from it, but she doesn’t try to push it around. I hoped it would stimulate her more since she’s food-driven, but it’s still a brilliant idea and easy to clean."

"I have a cat that inhales his food and is a real jerk. I first tried a few different slow feeders, but he literally threw a tantrum because he doesn't want to work for his food. So, I purchased this in hopes that it would be a good compromise - fairly easy access but has to work a little bit for the food - and it's perfect! I've had it for over 2 months and couldn't be happier with the purchase. I love the orange color! The fish is soft and flexible, but you can hold it by one end and it will not sag, which is important when carrying it filled with food! It's easy to clean with a soft brush since there are some corners that are difficult to clean. It stays where you put it and does not slide across the floor as my cat eats. It slows him down enough where I have yet to hear him gag from literally inhaling his food."

"My cat was throwing up because he was eating too fast. At first, I freaked out and thought I would need to rush him to the emergency vet, but I found out he was probably eating too quickly and decided to buy a slow feeder. I tried this one, and my cat hasn't thrown up at all in the couple of weeks since! Initially, I doubted it would work because he seemed unable to reach the food in the grooves, but I decided to give it a few days, and it totally works like a charm. It's reasonably priced and shipped quickly. Definitely worth trying!"

"I bought this bowl because my toy poodle was gobbling his food down too quickly, often resulting in vomiting. Now, he eats slower, and the rubber base keeps it in place!"

"I have a 9-month-old adopted puppy who used to inhale her food. This bowl has really helped slow her down, especially with her dinner. It's the perfect size for her!"

"This was one of my best purchases! Luna eats slower now, which aids in her digestion. It's sturdy and easy to clean, and the price was a steal!"

"I have a herd that used to eat too quickly, leading to daily clean-ups. After getting these bowls, they enjoy their meals without leaving messes everywhere. No more hate notes on the floor! They're easy to clean and store, and I love that they stack easily. My only issue is occasionally needing to tap out some stuck pieces for my older cats. I'm definitely buying more for my grandcats and future fosters!"

"I bought these bowls for my cats who tend to inhale their food. Ever since I started using them, I haven't seen any vomiting from eating too fast. They're a great value, and cleaning them is a breeze!"

"I purchased these to help my cat slow down during meals. While it seems to work, my cat absolutely refuses to eat from it. I wish it had worked better!"

"My cat used to eat too fast and get sick, but since using this bowl, she's significantly slowed down and hasn't vomited at all! The material feels durable, and it’s easy to clean."

"I needed something to help my cat eat slower, and this bowl did just that! It's made a huge difference; she now eats throughout the day instead of gobbling it all at once."

"I bought this bowl for my cat who eats quickly, and it really works! It’s shallow enough for him to access his food easily, and it washes up nicely. I'm really pleased with this purchase!"

"I absolutely love these bowls! My adult cat used to make a mess because his bowl was low, and now there's no mess. They both seem to enjoy the taller bowls."

"I was looking for a cute slow feeder, and these fit the bill! They made a difference initially, but my cats have mastered them now. However, I noticed one bowl has mold on the bottom, so keep that in mind."

"I like that I can easily put them in the dishwasher and appreciate the height for feeding. No puking from either cat since we started using them!"

"I have a 19-year-old cat that needed an elevated feeder to help slow down her eating. This bowl is exactly what she needed. It takes her three times as long to finish her food, and she often leaves some to eat later. Now, she's not constantly begging for food!"

"I read a lot of reviews before choosing this ceramic tilted slow feeder for my cat, who tends to eat too quickly. Although it was a bit on the pricey side, I can confidently say it's worth every penny. It's easy to clean, sturdy, and the quality is excellent. My cat has started eating slower and doesn't spill any food!"

"We have a little Shih Tzu that was having indigestion issues due to her fast eating. This bowl has been a game changer! It elevates her food, keeping her esophagus level, and the slight tilt makes it easy for her to eat. Plus, it has ridges that prevent her from scarfing down food too quickly. I’m planning to buy a backup just in case!"

"I have a cat who devours his food like it's a race. Thanks to this bowl, he’s eating smaller portions throughout the day, and I’ve noticed he’s stopped throwing up!"

"While I appreciate the sturdiness and aesthetics, my cat initially loved it, but it stopped slowing him down after a couple of days. I returned it for a puzzle feeder instead, which works better for both of my cats."

"I bought this bowl because my cat was always eating too quickly and then getting sick. It’s been a game changer! His eating speed has slowed down significantly, and the bowl’s angle and height are perfect for him."

"My daughter-in-law is thrilled with these bowls for her cats. They stay in place while the cats eat, creating less mess, and she appreciates their durability."

"I had this bowl for about a week, but my crazy cat decided to eat the bowl itself, requiring a vet to remove pieces from her stomach. It might be fine for normal pets, but not for one that is obsessed with silicone."

"This bowl has been a game-changer for my rescued stray cat. She used to gulp her food and then throw up, but now she has to take her time. She only got frustrated the first day, but since then, it's been all good."

"I have a cat that doesn't chew her food; she just inhales it and then throws up later. After trying a plastic slow feeder without success, I found this bowl. It’s so easy to clean, made of great material, and has improved her eating speed significantly! I highly recommend it and will buy again if needed!"

"I bought this bowl for a young feral cat who was eating too quickly and vomiting. It has definitely helped him slow down. At first, he was still fast, but now he eats more slowly and no longer regurgitates his food. I’m happy with the purchase and might get more!"

"These slow feeders work perfectly for my cat with a voracious appetite. They slow her down enough to let her sister eat without being interrupted. They are unbreakable, easy to clean, and I appreciate the design that makes it easy to pick them up. Highly recommend!"
