Cat / Supplies / Cat slow feeder & puzzle feeders

A cat slow feeder is designed to slow down eating with ridges or maze-like patterns (great for fast eaters), while a cat puzzle feeder adds an extra layer of challenge by making your cat solve mini tasks to access food. The Catit 2.0 Senses Cat Food Tree is a classic puzzle feeder that turns every meal into an interactive game!

By forcing your cat to work around obstacles, slow feeders naturally pace their eating, which may reduce gulping and vomiting. The Petstages Kitty Slow Feeder Cat Bowl is a great example, with a maze design that encourages slower, healthier eating.

Some puzzle feeders are designed only for dry food or treats, while others can handle wet or raw food too. Always check the product details to make sure it’s suitable for your cat’s preferred meals, and note that wet food feeders should be cleaned more frequently to stay hygienic.

The best size and shape will depend on your cat’s eating habits, breed, and household setup. Compact feeders are ideal for small spaces or single servings, while larger designs may suit multi-cat homes or bigger meal portions. Look for shallow, whisker-friendly designs to keep things comfortable.

Most cat slow feeders and cat puzzle feeders are dishwasher safe (top rack), but always check care instructions. The Barkley & Bella Slow Chow Feeder is an example of an easy-to-clean design, with smooth surfaces that rinse quickly after messy meals.
