In general, cats and smaller dogs would do well with the small bowl. Medium and larger dogs would do well with the larger bowl.

The Zen bowl is designed for versatility. It can be used as a regular food or water bowl, and it also comes with the Zen Slow Feeder, a high-quality, food-safe silicone attachment.

Featuring a unique double spiral design, the attachment fits easily inside the Zen Bowl, transforming it into a slow feeder that helps reduce your pet’s eating speed and promotes healthier digestion.

The Zen Bowl is an excellent choice for providing a reliable and hygienic mealtime experience for your pet. It’s crafted from durable, kitchen-grade 304 stainless steel, which makes it naturally resistant to odours, stains, and bacteria, offering a more hygienic alternative to plastic bowls. 

The bowl's extra-thick build, wide curves, and non-slip base help minimise noise and prevent sliding during meals. Its smooth, rounded corners make cleanup easy and also allow dogs and cats with flatter faces to eat more comfortably. Plus, with the Zen Slow Feeder, this bowl becomes a versatile option suitable for both food and water.

It might seem like your pet is enjoying their food when they gulp it down quickly, but this behaviour can lead to several health issues. Eating too fast increases the risk of choking, vomiting, and indigestion. More seriously, it is considered a significant risk factor for Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV) in dogs, a potentially life-threatening condition commonly referred to as bloat.

A study published in Veterinary Evidence found that dogs with a faster eating pace had a higher risk of developing GDV. This is believed to be due to the increased amount of air swallowed during rapid eating, which contributes to abnormal gas accumulation and stomach torsion.

Slow feeders help by reducing the pace of eating using built-in obstacles, such as ridges or mazes, that require your pet to work around them to reach their food. This promotes slower consumption, improves digestion, and reduces the risk of bloating, choking, or regurgitation.

Yes, both the Zen Bowl and the Zen Slow Feeder are designed for use by dogs and cats of all sizes. To help you choose the right size:

• Small Bowl: Holds up to 600ml (20oz) of water — ideal for cats and small dogs.
• Large Bowl: Holds up to 1100ml (37oz) of water — recommended for medium to large dogs.
