Full editorial review

The Outward Hound Fun Feeder Bowl is a specially designed slow feeder that helps promote healthier eating habits in dogs. Its maze-like design encourages dogs to slow down their eating, which can help reduce bloating, indigestion, and obesity. Made from durable, non-toxic BPA-free plastic, this bowl is safe for pets and easy to clean, dishwasher-safe for convenience. The Fun Feeder comes in multiple sizes and colors, allowing pet owners to pick the best fit for their dog's breed and personality. Its raised ridges and obstacles challenge dogs to work for their food, providing both mental stimulation and physical activity during mealtime. Additionally, the bowl features a non-slip base to keep it stable on various surfaces, preventing spills and messes. This product is ideal for dogs that tend to gulp their food too quickly or get bored with traditional bowls, making mealtime both fun and functional.

My dog loves it!
I bought this slow feeder because my dog used to eat way too fast and get sick. Since using the Fun Feeder Bowl, he eats slower and seems happier. The maze design keeps him engaged, and it’s easy to clean after every meal.

Good for slowing down eating
The bowl works well at slowing down my dog’s eating pace. It’s sturdy and easy to wash. The only downside is that it took my dog a few days to get used to the maze pattern, but now he enjoys it.

Nice design, but watch out for odors
The Fun Feeder is a great way to keep my dog mentally stimulated during meals. However, if you don’t clean it quickly after use, it can start to retain odors. Otherwise, it’s a solid product.

Perfect for small to medium dogs
I have a medium-sized dog and this bowl fits perfectly. It’s lightweight and the non-slip base works well on tile floors. It’s not suitable for my friend’s large dog who chews aggressively, though.
