A slow feeder is a specially designed toy, or dispenser that slows down your dog's eating pace through cleverly designed obstacles or puzzles. 

Pebble is a slow feeder toy that works by incorporating a cleverly designed pattern to slow down your dog's pace when licking the food, and a detachable blocker that turns it into an interactive treat dispenser that encourages your dogs to figure out a way to get the treat out of the Pebble.

There are multiple benefits of using Pebble slow feeder toy for your dog:

• Improve digestion: A slower eating pace reduces the risk of your dog getting bloated or indigestion issues.
• Reduce the risk of obesity: By slowing down the eating pace, you'll be able to regulate your dog's appetite and prevent them from overeating.
• Mental stimulation: The pattern design keeps your dog occupied and entertained while getting to their food.
• Calmer eating: Slow feeding can help with a dog's anxiety and stress during mealtimes.

Pebble is made of a unique blend of ultra-tough, non-toxic, pet-safe material.

The body of Pebble is made with BPA-free, phthalates-free, 100% recyclable and non-toxic TPE. The Blocker attachment is made from food-grade silicone.

Do note that while Pebble is durable, no dog toy is indestructible. Please supervise your dog and prevent your dog from destroying or shredding the Blocker attachment, which is made from a softer material than the main Pebble body.

Pebble can hold around 120ml (~4.1oz) of liquid when filled to the max fill line. It can hold slightly more wet food.

It is not recommended to fill Pebble over the max fill line if you're freezing it, as your food might expand slightly during the freezing process depending on the amount of liquid it contains.

Yes, Pebble is freezer-safe! When freezing liquids like broth, milk, or Trove Blend, it is not recommended to fill Pebble over the max fill line, as liquids expand when frozen and may pop open the Pebble.

Pebble currently comes in one universal size, measuring around 10.5 cm x 6 cm. Pebble has been tested with dogs of various sizes (from toy to large breeds).

Please remember that you are responsible for your pet's safety. Select toys that are appropriate for your pet's size and playstyle, and always supervise their use.

Pebble was designed to work with a variety of foods. 

When used as-is without the Blocker, Pebble is great as a slow feeder for kibble, raw, wet, or other fresh foods. 

Pebble can also be used for frozen treats, like milk, broth, Trove Blend, etc. The ridged surface on the underside of Pebble also allows for smearing of paste, like nut butters, purees, and yogurt. 

Pebble can be frozen for additional difficulty to extend eating time further. 

When used with the Blocker insert, Pebble transforms into a treat dispenser for kibble and other dry treats, such as freeze-dried or dehydrated dog treats (like our Training Bites). Please do not use the Blocker with wet food.

Pebble was designed to be a tight fit to prevent dogs from being able to open it.

To open Pebble, hold the top half and use your thumbs to push down on the taller fins. Once split, pull both sides of Pebble apart.

Here are some tips if you would like to make it easier to open Pebble: 

1. Use the pad of your thumb (instead of the tip of your thumb) to exert greater force, and rotate and repeat until pebble is split
2. When popping open a Pebble that has a Blocker inserted, you can push directly on the Pebble blocker (instead of only through the opening)
3. Once Pebble is slightly split, it's easier to hold both sides and pull it apart instead of continuing to push on the fins
4. You can add some water around the edges to make opening and closing easier

To use Pebble as a puzzle toy, simply insert the included blocker attachment. This blocker has three different opening sizes that you can choose from, and your dog will need to figure out how to get their food out of this opening. To use the Pebble only as a slow feeder toy, simply remove the blocker and serve it to your dogs.
