Do dog slow feeders actually work?
Many dog slow feeders actually do work well for slowing down eating and making meal times more enriching and entertaining. Snuffle mats and slow feed dog bowls work by making the food harder to get to, so dogs have to forage for their dinner like they would in the wild. The extra challenge of slow dog feeders can help slow down dogs who eat too fast and provide helpful mental stimulation, too.
Do slow feeders work with wet dog food?
Some slow feeders work with wet dog food, while others do not. Look for slow dog feeders, bowls and lick mats made specifically for use with wet food. Avoid products made from fabric and those that are difficult to clean, as these are not the best for use with wet food. The product listing and package instructions will usually indicate whether a slow feeder should be used for wet or dry food.
