Product Information

Cats who have a tendency to wolf down their food ( and then vomit it up) may benefit from a slow feed cat bowl. These bowls are designed to slow down the process of eating by dividing the food into small sections or by making your cat work a little harder to access it. Slow feed bowls are also great for providing your cat with a little extra mental stimulation. When shopping for cat bowls, many cat owners look for dishes that don’t take up a lot of floor space. This generally means something small, narrow, and deep. The problem is this design forces your cat to put his face deep into the bowl to reach the food. As you might imagine, it isn’t very comfortable for your cat, but it can also contribute to another issue: whisker fatigue.

After considering essential factors like materials, shape, and size, you may want to take additional factors into consideration. If your cat is getting up in years and suffers from arthritis, a slightly raised cat bowl may be more comfortable for him. Repeated issues with overstimulation may cause your cat to stop eating from that type of bowl – this is one theory behind why some cats become fussy eaters. Again, this bowl satisfies all of the general requirements we’re looking for in a cat bowl. It is made from stainless steel, and it has a rubber bottom to keep it from sliding around. In fact, the non-slip bottom on this bowl was the most effective of the cat bowls tested. It also has a nice, shallow design. The Petlibro Granary Automatic Dog & Cat Feeder is unique among automatic pet feeders in that it features a silo-shaped hopper that helps protect the food against moisture, mold, bugs, and even determined cats. It dispenses up to 6 meals a day into a stainless steel bowl in portions ranging from 1 ⅓ tablespoon to 4 cups.The Feeder-Robot glass bowl measures about 7.25 inches in diameter, so it’s wide enough that your cat’s whiskers won’t be constricted by the sides. It’s fairly shallow as well, which makes it a cat-friendly choice. What We Liked:

Not only should you consider your cat’s comfort when choosing a cat bowl but think about the eating experience. Wouldn’t you find it maddening if your plate kept sliding across the table as you tried to eat? That’s the benefit of choosing a cat bowl with a non-slip bottom. One of the more expensive cat bowls on this list, the Hepper NomNom Cat Bowl is a double feeder. It features two stainless steel bowls set side-by-side. This feeder comes with two 10-ounce bowls, so you can use them for two different types of food or food on one side and water on the other.

Whether you’re going away for the weekend or want to control your cat’s portions or feeding schedule, an automatic pet feeder is an excellent solution. The Cat Mat C500 Automatic Pet Feeder is perfectly sized for cats with five separate meal compartments. In our number one position is a two-bowl set that includes multiple convenience and cat comfort features. The KatSupreme tilted cat bowl set includes two bowls set in a raised base. An adjustable 15° tilt may make them more comfortable for some cats to eat from, and the raised base could be of benefit for senior cats with arthritis. The best materials for cat bowls are stainless steel, ceramic, and glass. These materials are nonporous, so they don’t trap bacteria, and they are generally dishwasher-safe. Recommended by veterinarians, the stainless steel bowl material is non-porous, helping it to resist bacterial accumulation and reducing cat acne. Compared to bowls with flat bottoms and sharp angles, the round bowls limit food buildup, making both eating and cleaning easier.

That’s where Doc and Phoebe’s Indoor Hunting Feeder Kit comes in. It’s designed for cats who eat dry food and could use a little extra exercise and stimulation. It features three feeder “mice” which engage your cat’s instincts to hunt for food. It’s relatively shallow which makes it easy for your cat to eat from, it’s stainless-steel which makes it easy to clean, and it has a silicone mat that keeps it from sliding around on the floor. The Cat Mate C500 allows you to program up to 4 mealtimes as well as an immediate feed. While this model may not offer as many mealtimes as an upright feeder, its wet food compatibility improves your feeding flexibility.Each mouse contains about 1.6 tablespoons of food, or about 1/6 of your cat’s daily intake. The idea is to scatter the mice around the house each morning and evening so your cat can find them and eat throughout the day.

Making mixing multiple mixtures in one session an absolute breeze, this set of 3 Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls from our Mary Berry with Lakeland range includes 3 bowls with included lids and silicone non-slip bases, to make mixing and whisking as easy as possible. Though not the most advanced automatic feeder on the market, this model offers reliable performance and nails all the basics at a fraction of the price you’ll pay for many newer models. What We Liked:While many cats are able to self-regulate their food intake, others will empty their bowl no matter how full it is. An automatic feeder enables you to monitor and control your cat’s intake, automating their daily meals and portions. Not only does the plastic tray keep messes contained, but it also protects the floor in your feeding area. All three pieces are easy to hand-wash, but they are also dishwasher-safe. What We Liked: Cats have a natural instinct to hunt, especially when it comes to feeding. If your cat doesn’t get the exercise or mental stimulation he needs, it could contribute to behavioral issues.
