Safety & Health

Why is a slow feeder necessary?

Many pets tend to eat too fast, which can lead to life-threatening choking or bloat. Our slow feeders are designed to pace their eating, turning a 30-second meal into a 5-minute activity.

What is an elevated bowl, and why does my pet need one?

Standard bowls on the floor force pets to crouch, putting strain on their neck and spine. Elevated bowls bring the food to a natural height, aiding digestion and protecting their joints as they age.

Can a bowl really prevent vomiting?

Yes. Many pets suffer from "scarf and barf" caused by rapid eating and poor posture. By combining an elevated height with a slow-feeding design, we help pets swallow less air and digest more comfortably.

What is whisker fatigue?

The Science: A cat’s whiskers are highly sensitive sensory organs equipped with proprioceptors that send constant signals to their brain.

The Problem: When a cat eats from a bowl that is too narrow or deep, their whiskers are forced to brush against the sides. This constant contact causes sensory overload and stress, known as whisker fatigue.

The Symptoms: If your Champ is pawing food out of the bowl to eat off the floor, acting hesitant to start their meal, or becoming irritable at feeding time, they may be experiencing whisker fatigue.

Slow Feeder Specifics

What is the difference between the Slow Feeder & the Elevated Bowl?

The Slow Feeders are designed with intricate ridges to maximize mealtime duration. The Elevated Ceramic Bowls use a 15° ergonomic angle and elevation to aid digestion for pets who may not need intense slow-feeding but require better posture.

Will my pet get frustrated with a slow feeder?

Our products are "pet-first." The patterns in the slow feeder are designed to be a fun, engaging challenge rather than a barrier, keeping them mentally stimulated without causing fatigue.

Can I use wet food in the slow feeders?

Absolutely. Our slow feeders work perfectly with dry kibble, wet food, or even spreadable treats like peanut butter or pumpkin puree.

Slow Feeder Specifics

What are the bowls made of?

Elevated Ceramic Bowls: These are crafted from high-fired, 100% lead-free, and rust-free safety ceramic. They are weighted to prevent tipping and provide a stable base for enthusiastic eaters.

Stainless Steel Slow Feeder: Our heavy-duty stainless steel is rust-resistant, highly durable, and naturally hygienic, featuring a specialized internal pattern to pace mealtime.

Silicone Slow Feeder (The Silo Bowl): Made from 100% food-grade, BPA-free silicone. These are soft on whiskers and paws, flexible, and virtually indestructible.

Why are these materials better than plastic?

Plastic bowls often develop microscopic scratches that trap bacteria, leading to "feline acne" and skin irritations.

Ceramic, stainless steel, and silicone are non-porous and hypoallergenic, making them far easier to keep sterile and safe for your Champ.

Our ceramic and steel options are significantly heavier than plastic, ensuring the bowl stays put instead of sliding across the floor.

Are the bowls dishwasher and microwave safe?

Dishwasher: Yes! All our ceramic bowls, stainless steel feeders, and the silicone Silo Bowl are 100% dishwasher safe for easy, deep-sanitized cleaning.

Microwave: Our Ceramic series is microwave safe, allowing you to safely warm up a meal if your pet prefers it.

Note: We do not recommend microwaving the stainless steel feeder.

Are your materials non-toxic and safety-tested?

Every product is selected with George's memory in mind. We only use lead-free, non-toxic, and rust-free materials to ensure that mealtime is the safest part of your pet's day.
