Amazing product
The media could not be loaded. This is a brilliant product, it has slowed down my 2 rescue cats' eating speeds from 5 minutes to 20-30 minutes whilst giving them a stimulating activity. They have stopped asking from more food after mealtimes and really enjoy the challenge of the maze. One is 6 months' old and her mum is 18 months' old. The mum was less keen at first but after the third mealtime using the slow feed bowl she realised that it was her only way to get a meal so got properly stuck in. Both use it equally efficiently. It has been smooth sailing ever since. I have attached a video and a photo of them using it for reference. The only negative thing I would say is that the bowl moves around a lot so we have put it on a rubber mat to prevent it from moving too much and this works really well.

Appears to be working well
As stated on the product site, it does take a bit of getting used to for the cat to eat out of this bowl. However, since getting this about 3 weeks ago we have only had 1 (small) vomit so it is a definite improvement, The bowl doesn't look the prettiest and it is quite large but it does the job. My cat is obviously getting enough food because she isn't pestering constantly.It is definitely worth investing in a non-slip mat to put underneath though - my poor cat was clearly chasing the bowl around for the first few days

Not for every cat
Bought this because one of my cats was bolting his food (dry) and then bringing it up. It’s an interesting design and solidly made but isnt for every cat. I tried it with both my cats and they ended up frustrated and crying as they tried to get at the food. Perhaps they are too old and you can’t teach an old cat new tricks. In the end the vet recommended giving him half his food and the other half later. The two stars is not for product quality or service but to make owners aware that it isn’t for every cat.

Not suitable for cats
I don't really think that this is suitable for cats. It's much too large and deep between the crevices, which can lead to some whisker discomfort. However, if you have a small dog then this product works great! My cats don't approve but my dog certainly does. It is fantastic quality, mind you, and delivery was on time.

Elegant Dining for Jack
Our cat Jack (a cat not noted for his intellect) has now figured out his own system for obtaining his dry food. He is definitely a "southpaw" using it exclusively to flick food out to eat. It has slowed him down markedly and this has resulted in better digestion and fewer incidents of "throwing up" following feeding, as previously he wolfed everything down in a frenzy. The new bowl has already clocked up several kilometres as it travels around the utility room, despite a rubber mat, but it provides a reasonable workout for Jack.... Another benefit!Very happy with purchase and Jack has accepted the new regime with good grace. Purple not really his colour!Jack's PA Keith D

A good solution for cats who think they haven't had food for 3 months lol
Nice and sturdy. Very big though! I didn't expect it to be quite so large. Walnut-brained cat only took a couple days to figure it out lol so pretty happy with my purchase, no unchewed kibbles vomits so far!!!

Video Helped
Cats have given up and as have we. They just couldn't get into the deeper parts.It's now used as a bird feeder.

Love it but a little too big for one cat
This has certainly slowed down Roxy's eating but for one puss it is a bit on the large size. I have trouble getting it into my washing up bowl and really no where to store it. However, she seems to cope well with it and it does the trick. Love the fact it is bamboo and not plastic and that it's made in the UK. (I hope it is and not China).
