Discussing Bowls and Feeding Accessories for Dogs

When feeding your dog, the right accessories can make all the difference. From upgrading their mealtime experience to supporting their dietary needs, many products are designed to cater to the unique requirements of different dogs and breeds. Choosing the right accessories can also help to prevent mealtime delays and make feeding time easier for both you and your dog. In this blog, we explore some of the best options available, focusing on functionality and how they can contribute to your dog’s health and happiness. 

Feeding Your Dog with the Right Accessories

Choosing the right feeding accessories for your dog involves more than picking the right size or colour. You should consider your dog's size, breed, eating habits, and health conditions. The market offers a wide range of products, including dog treat toys, water bowls, and specialised feeding bowls, which all aim to provide your pet with a satisfying and healthy dining experience.

Interactive Dog Treat Toys

Interactive dog treat toys like the KONG Puppy toy are not just toys, they are tools that help manage your dog's eating pace while providing entertainment. The KONG Puppy is specifically designed to engage puppies and encourage healthy chewing habits. Fill it with treats or kibble, and watch your puppy enjoy active play. These toys are excellent for stimulating your dog’s mental and physical health, making mealtime fun and interactive.

The Benefits of Lick Mats

Lick mats, such as the LickiMat Slomo, are another fantastic accessory for treat time. These mats are designed to promote slower eating, which improves digestion and reduces the risk of bloating. By spreading your dog's favourite soft treat over the mat, you encourage them to lick their food, which not only slows down their eating pace but also provides a soothing effect, especially useful during stressful times.

Slower Feeder Bowls

Like the lick mats, for dogs that tend to eat too quickly, slower feeder bowls are essential. Products like the Paw Slow Feeder Activity Bowls have obstacles that make dogs slow down to get their food, which prevents choking and improves digestion. These bowls are functional and also turn mealtime into a challenging activity that satisfies your dog's instincts.

Yoggi Pots: A Treat for Health and Taste

The LickiMat Yoggie Pot is a unique accessory that combines the benefits of a treat toy with the convenience of a feeding bowl. These pots are designed to hold yoghurt or other soft treats, providing a refreshing and nutritious snack for your dog. They can be frozen to offer a cooling treat on hot days or used to serve supplements or medications in a palatable way.

The Importance of Raised Bowls

Raised bowls, such as the Mod Skybar Raised Bowls, are specifically beneficial for larger breeds or dogs with joint issues. Elevating the bowls reduces strain on your dog’s neck, hips, knees, and shoulders, providing a more comfortable eating position that can prevent potential health problems in older pets.

Choosing the Right Water Bowls

Hydration is just as crucial as nutrition for your dog's health. Ensuring your dog has access to clean, fresh water means finding the right water bowl. Opt for a water bowl that offers a stable and spacious option, ensuring that your dog can quench their thirst anytime without the bowl tipping over or running out quickly.
