Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson Lickin' Layers Interactive Puzzle Game & Slow Feeder
by Nina Ottosson / Outward Hound
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.
ProSelect Non-Tip Stainless Steel Brake-Fast Slow Feed Dog Bowl
by ProSelect
The ProSelect Brake-Fast Slow Feed Dog Bowl uses three fixed stainless steel studs inside a non-tip bowl to interrupt fast eating without the complexity of a full maze. Its durable steel construction, rubber base, and larger capacity options make it a practical choice for strong eaters and larger breeds.
