Take care of your dog's stomach with a slow feeder

Do you have a food-loving dog who swallows his food and almost does not chew the food when he eats? Then a slow feeder can help remedy this problem. See our large selection of different slow feeders on this page, and read on for inspiration on how to use them.

Slow down meal time with a slow feeder

Most dogs love food, which is good! However, if your dog eats too quickly and does not chew his food properly, this can contribute to stomach and digestive problems. A slow feeder slows the dog down when he eats and allows him time to chew his food properly before swallowing. If you use wet food, you can spread it on a lick mat, a silicone mat or a LickiMat and put it in the freezer, so you always have a ready meal.

You can introduce your dog to a slow feeder from puppyhood. In this way, you ensure that you train your dog to eat slowly, while at the same time being stimulated. You mustn't start with a slow feeder that is too difficult to use for your little puppy. As the puppy develops, you can introduce slow feeders that challenge the puppy's development. There are many different slow feeders for puppies and adult dogs, and you can find one that suits your dog's size and needs with us.

You can teach old dogs new tricks

Is the condition of your old dog not what it used to be, but he still needs to be challenged? A slow feeder is perfect for this purpose. Even though your dog is getting older and may not be as active as he used to be, he still benefits from being mentally stimulated. With a slow feeder, your old dog can quietly feel stimulated and take it at his own pace.

Stimulate your dog while he eats

At PetLux you will find several different slow feeders. What they all have in common is that they stimulate your dog while he eats. Most are designed in such a way that they challenge your dog's senses while he eats. Not only does it make your dog eat slowly, but they also strengthen his mental state. By having your dog put more effort than just sticking his muzzle into the food bowl, he gets time to think about what he is doing.

We have a wide selection of different slow feeders, which can be used for your dog's regular meals but also for play and stimulation. Many dogs enjoy trying to get treats out of a ball. This can take a long time, as it is not always easy, but has a wonderful payoff in the end. By putting treats or the dog's food in a slow feeder activity ball, the dog gets to move around a bit while eating. This is fun for both puppies and adult dogs of all sizes. If the weather is good, serve the dog's meal in the ball and let it out into the garden, where it has more space to push the ball around. It will not only be stimulated by the ball, but also by all the smells and sounds that can be found in the garden.

Depending on which dog breed you have, there is a difference in how much he needs to be stimulated both physically and mentally, and it is always a good idea to start from puppyhood. If your dog is stimulated and challenged mentally, he will eventually become good at problem-solving, and he will have his patience tested.

Stimulate your dog's senses with a slow feeder

When your dog uses a slow feeder, his senses are challenged. All the senses of sight, smell and touch come into play. The different materials that slow feeders are made of allow the dog to feel different textures. The dog's sense of smell and coordination skills come into use when he has to sniff out food or treats. He must use his coordination skills to get the treats or food out with either his paws, snout or mouth.

In addition, many slow feeders are also designed in different shapes with different surfaces and offer varying fun and challenging designs. This makes it more challenging and fun for your dog to get his food, while also making him eat more slowly.

We hope that you have learned more about slow feeders and their versatility. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
