Imagine turning mealtime into a calming adventure for your dog with the Mandala Softie eTray, a USA-made slow feeder that combines elegant design with practical benefits to keep your pup engaged and relaxed. This innovative shallow bowl features a mesmerizing mandala pattern of ridges and valleys that naturally encourage licking and exploration, extending treat time by up to 10 times and helping fast eaters avoid gulping, bloating, and digestive issues. Crafted from soft, flexible TPE material, it's gentle on sensitive noses and tongues while staying securely in place with powerful suction cups on smooth surfaces like floors, walls, or bathtubs.
For dogs prone to anxiety or stress, this eTray is a game-changer. By promoting licking, it triggers the release of endorphins that soothe and calm, making it ideal for high-anxiety situations like vet visits, grooming sessions, or thunderstorms. Unlike basic slow feeders that just slow down eating, the Mandala Softie eTray taps into your dog's natural foraging instincts, providing mental enrichment that combats boredom and sharpens problem-solving skills. It's perfect for puppies learning to self-soothe, senior dogs needing gentle stimulation, or any breed that devours food too quickly.
