Outward Hound Fun Feeder Slo Bowl vs Neater Pets Non-Tip Stainless Steel Slow Feed Bowl
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Slow-Feeder Dog Bowls: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Outward Hound Fun Feeder Slo Bowl wins because you can match the maze to your dog: it comes in Slow, Slower and Slowest levels and several sizes, so a gulper gets a harder maze than a mild eater. If you want a bowl that won't scratch, hold odor, or budge, the stainless Neater Pets is the hygienic runner-up.
Outward Hound Fun Feeder Slo Bowl
Buy itThe default recommendation for good reason: a maze bowl sold in Slow, Slower and Slowest levels and several sizes.
- Three slow levels; the Slow level is a shallow, simple maze, so a determined gulper needs Slower or Slowest
- Sold in escalating difficulty levels and multiple capacities, plus a flat-face version for snub-nosed breeds
- Food-safe plastic (no BPA, PVC, lead, or phthalates), non-slip base, top-rack dishwasher safe
- Tight channels take a scrub to get fully clean
- Hard plastic can scuff over years, and scratches eventually harbor bacteria
Neater Pets Non-Tip Stainless Steel Slow Feed Bowl
Buy itThe hygienic, stays-put pick: a stainless maze with a non-tip, non-skid rubber base that resists a pushy dog.
- Stainless steel won't scratch, absorb odor, or harbor bacteria the way scuffed plastic does
- Non-tip design with a removable non-skid rubber ring helps keep it planted for shove-and-chase eaters
- Dishwasher safe and very durable for chewers
- Molded metal ridges are shallower than a deep plastic maze, so it slows a determined gulper a bit less
- Costs more and is heavier to handle than plastic
