This slow feeder bowl has some weight to it! I thought it might be as thin or light as the lick mats I have, but they are very nice quality with a weighted bottom. It has a suction cup on the bottom to help keep it from moving on the floor, but the weight also helps. It works well for both my small chihuahua and Golden Retriever. It took them about 12 minutes to eat their meal, in another slow feeder they were done in 5 min! They clean up nicely with just a quick rinse and can even go in the dishwasher for a deeper clean. I’ve been through many slow feeders and this one is by far the best and nicest quality!
