For a four-legged friend

Your furry, loyal buddy cannot be forgotten on Valentine's Day! The Slow Feed bowl by PAIKKA is designed for dogs who tend to have problems with eating. The heart shape in the center of the bowl works both as a sweet expression as well as an important function: it slows down the eating by pushing food to the edges. On the other hand, the bowl makes eating more enjoyable for dogs who are not that interested in food.
