Pet Feeding and Water Gear: Slow Feeders, Fountains, Bowls
Feeding gear solves three common problems: dogs that eat too fast, cats that drink too little, and bowls that are hard to keep clean. Pick for the problem your pet actually has.
How to choose
- Size a slow feeder to hold a full meal.
- A fountain needs regular cleaning and filter changes, or a clean bowl does better.
- In an Australian summer, put out an extra bowl of water in the shade and carry water on outings.
- Shallow, wide bowls suit cats that dislike their whiskers touching the sides.
