PTOBER Elevated Slow Feeder Dog Bowl, Purple Ceramic with Stainless Steel Stand

The PTOBER Elevated Slow Feeder Dog Bowl is a raised ceramic bowl designed to slow mealtime for small dogs, with a 6.3-inch (16 cm) bowl and a stainless steel stand.

• Raised maze pattern designed to slow eating by up to 10 times — makes dogs work around the bowl’s pattern to reach food.
• Food-grade ceramic with no lead or cadmium — gives your dog a ceramic feeding surface instead of plastic.
• One-piece stainless steel stand — raises the bowl to support a more natural feeding posture.
• Approximately 0.8 cups (80 grams) of dry-food capacity — sized for small portions.
• Smooth glazed surface and dishwasher-safe care — makes routine cleaning straightforward.

Fast eating can turn a meal into a quick gulp rather than an engaging feeding activity. PTOBER combines an internal maze with a raised, shallow bowl to encourage slower eating while giving small dogs access to their food. The pattern also engages a dog’s foraging instincts, providing mental stimulation that may help relieve boredom and anxiety and reduce destructive chewing behavior.

How does the maze help slow a dog’s eating?

The raised pattern is designed to slow eating by up to 10 times by making food less accessible than it is in a plain bowl. This encourages a dog to forage around the maze rather than gulping down a meal quickly. Slower-paced feeding is intended to help address issues associated with eating too fast, such as bloating, vomiting, choking, and obesity; it does not guarantee that these problems will be prevented.

• The maze provides a feeding challenge as well as food access.
• Foraging activity adds mental engagement at mealtime.

Will the bowl fit my small dog and the portion I serve?

The shallow bowl measures 6.3 inches (16 cm) wide by 1.4 inches (3.6 cm) high, and the full raised base is 3.9 inches (9.9 cm) tall. It holds approximately 0.8 cups (80 grams) of dry food, making it suitable for small breeds and short dogs that need to reach into a shallow dish. Compare the bowl’s width and raised height with your dog’s feeding space before choosing it.

• Shallow sides help short dogs reach their food.
• Six pattern and color styles are available, including geometric shapes, paw prints, octopuses, bear paws, and petals; this listing is purple.

What are the bowl and raised stand made of?

The bowl is made from food-grade ceramic and contains no lead or cadmium. Its ceramic construction is less vulnerable to chewing than plastic, helping avoid sharp plastic fragments from a chewed bowl and the black chin stains associated with some plastic bowls. The stand is a one-piece stainless steel design, offering a more durable alternative to wooden stands that can break easily.

• The lifted position helps reduce excessive forward leaning while a dog eats.
• The raised feeding posture is intended to reduce strain on the neck and spine.

How do I clean the PTOBER slow feeder?

The smooth glazed ceramic surface helps keep food residue from sticking. Rinse the bowl or place it in the dishwasher for cleaning; dishwasher use is suitable for this bowl.

• The glazed finish supports easy rinsing.
• Dishwasher cleaning is an option for a more thorough wash.

This bowl suits small-breed owners looking for a raised feeding setup that combines a slow-feeding maze with a shallow ceramic dish. Its capacity is intended for small portions of dry food, and its raised height and measured width help buyers assess fit for their dog and feeding area. For a small dog that eats quickly, it brings a patterned ceramic bowl and stainless steel stand together in one elevated feeder.
