What to put on it
Wet food, plain yogurt, pumpkin puree, cheese, or peanut butter. Anything thick enough to sit in the grooves rather than run off.
Check peanut butter for xylitol before you use it. It's a common sweetener and it's toxic to dogs.
Cleaning it
Rinse under warm water straight after use, before anything dries into the grooves. The pattern runs in continuous channels, so a washing-up brush clears it in one sweep rather than picking at individual pockets.

01 · Spread
A spoonful of something thick, worked into the grooves rather than piled in the middle.
02 · Stick
Press it onto tile, glass or a smooth floor. 37 suction cups stop it becoming a frisbee.
03 · Let them work
Licking is self-soothing. Most pets settle within a minute of starting.
Why this one
Dinner in thirty seconds isn't eating, it's inhaling
A dog that empties a bowl in half a minute swallows air along with the food, and tends to be hungry again an hour later. Slow feeder bowls help, but they sit loose and get shoved around the kitchen.
This sticks to the floor and makes the food something your pet has to work at. The same thing works as a distraction during a bath or a nail trim, which is the use most people end up appreciating more.

Questions
Will the suction hold on my floor?
On smooth non-porous surfaces, yes: tile, glass, sealed stone, the side of a bath. The 37 cups won't hold on rough tile, grout lines, wood grain or textured vinyl.
What can I put on it?
Wet food, plain yogurt, pumpkin puree, cheese or peanut butter. Check any peanut butter for xylitol first, as it's toxic to dogs.
Is 15 cm big enough for a large dog?
For a distraction during a bath or a nail trim, yes. As a full slow-feeder for a large breed's whole dinner it's on the small side, so you may need to refill it once.
Does it work for cats?
Yes, and it's often more useful for cats, who tend to prefer eating off a flat surface rather than from a deep bowl.
