by Hagen / Dogit
Price $26
Rating ★★★★ 4/5 (100 reviews)
Category Slow Feeders
Best For Great for large dogs with big appetites who tend to gulp their food rapidly.
The Dogit Go Slow Anti-Gulping Bowl features fixed internal ridges that make dogs work around obstacles rather than gulping food quickly. Its large-capacity plastic design and wide stable base make it especially suitable for bigger dogs that need a roomier slow feeder for daily meals.

by Nina Ottosson / Outward Hound
Price $10-$21
Rating ★★★★★ 4.6/5 (969 reviews)
Category Puzzle Toys
Best For Ideal for anxious dogs, fast eaters, and dogs that love licking-based enrichment more than rigid puzzle-solving.
Lickin' Layers combines a slow feeder, licking enrichment toy, and treat puzzle into one design with layered or textured surfaces for wet foods and compartments for dry food. Dogs engage by licking, sniffing, and flipping or working through the structure to access rewards, making it a calming option for food enrichment and slower feeding.
