Special Features
They Were Meant To Forage.™
From wolves in the wild to dogs at home, sniffing & foraging is innate. 15 minutes of foraging can burn as much energy as a 1hr walk. They need mental stimulation, they were meant to forage.
Forager® Bowl - The Slow Feeding Snuffle Bowl
The mental stimulation of a snuffle mat, with the additional health benefits of slow feeding, Forager® does them both in one compact food bowl replacer.

Proprietary non-abrasive, non-irritating, softest but functional material to keep furbaby noses, gums, & tongues safe while foraging.
On-The-Go Meals
A simple way to slow feed, prevent bloat, & stimulate their brain while on the go. Lay flat, feed, cinch up, carry, store, or travel.
Scent, Sight, & Touch Stimulation
The changing landscape of Forager® Bowls & Mats stimulates most of their senses & rewards them with a tummy full of food or treats.
Washable Slow Feeder Bowl
Washable fabric so slobbery messes are easily cleaned and aren't a plastic or rubber breeding ground for bacteria and mold.
SQUIRREL!!!
Seriously, we know how easy it is for pups to get distracted, so when Forager® is in use, the drawstring used to cinch Forager® Bowls secures in a side pocket to prevent distractions, chewing, or potential choking hazards, creating a safer foraging environment.
Sit, stay, forage.
Our specially designed anti-slide backing hugs the floor to provide a slide-resistant foraging experience, and triple-stitched durability for even the most enthusiastic of eaters.
For Every Need
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my furbaby need a slow feeder dog bowl?
Excited pets, especially dogs, may scarf down food. This can cause several negative effects, like bloating and gastrointestinal issues. A slow feeder dog bowl and snuffle bowl can slow down their eating to enable their body to digest their food more properly while helping them to prevent swallowing air, often associated with bloating. Other benefits include less likely to choke, nose-work burns energy helping calm, portion control, entertainment to help combat separation anxiety & mind stimulation to name a few.
What types of food & treats can you use on the Forager® Bowl?
We recommend only using dry food, treats, or dryer veggies like carrots in the slow feeder bowl. Wet food, raw food, & treats could seep into the fabric. While the liquid & raw food would wash out in the washing machine, it would be stuck in the fabric until you washed it.
What is the difference between the Meadow Bowl and the Forest Bowl?
The Forest bowl is targeted more towards nose work. It is meant to be more challenging than the Meadow bowl by making your pet forage for the food, rather than finding it by sight. The Meadow bowl includes blue patches, which gives visual stimulation on top of nose work, as blue is one of the only colors dogs can see. Due to the shorter length of the patches, food naturally falls into them, creating a visual cue and sparking excitement.
Should I get the Forager® Bowl or Forager® Mat?
It depends on your situation! We recommend choosing either Forager® Mat or Forager® Bowl based on your furbaby's needs. For an everyday slow feeder, we recommend the Forager® Mat. For a travel bowl or a once-in-a-while interactive & engaging eating experience, we recommend the Forager® Bowl that you can pack and store easily in your home!
How am I supposed to clean the Forager® Bowl?
Knowing that our furbabies aren't always the cleanest eaters, we do recommend washing your Forager® Bowl after using the product a few times! You can find the washing instructions for the Forager® Bowl here; https://petparentsbrand.com/pages/washing-instructions/slow-feeder-dog-bowls.

United StatesWhere has the Forager bowl and mat been all my life?!?
Dog normally inhales food. But with the plush Forager bowl, food is contained and she eats slower and she is calmer bc she’s having to sniff (aka forage” ) for it. Win-win-win! Mat is wonderful for training as it’s calming and effective. (your first 5 paw rating???)

United StatesMust Have Bowl For Fast Eaters!
Best bowl on the market for slowing down a fast eater! The kibble falls nicely between the soft fingers of the bowl, efficiently hiding dinner and making the experience 3x longer for our pup! Just toss in the laundry to clean and the bowl comes out like new. What a great product! We bought two!
