How to Use

As a Slow Feeder Bowl: Spread your dog's regular kibble or wet food across the sun and moon pattern. The raised ridges create a puzzle-like feeding experience that forces dogs to eat slowly and work for their food, preventing gulping and improving digestion.

As a Lick Mat: Spread peanut butter, yogurt, pureed fruits, or wet food across the pattern for extended licking enrichment. The shallow design and intricate sun and moon pattern maximize licking time.

As a Frozen Treat: Fill with your dog's favorite spreadable treats and freeze for 2-3 hours to create a long-lasting cooling activity that's perfect for hot days, crate training, or calming anxious dogs.

As a Puzzle Feeder: Scatter kibble or small treats across the pattern to create a foraging challenge that engages your dog's natural scavenging instincts and provides mental exercise.

Why Choose the Sun and Moon Design eTray?

Unlike deep slow feeder bowls that can frustrate flat-nosed breeds or traditional lick mats that only work with spreadable treats, the eTray's shallow design accommodates all food types while providing the same slow-feeding benefits. The sun and moon pattern is specifically engineered to create an optimal feeding challenge—difficult enough to slow eating but not so complex that dogs become frustrated.

Health Benefits: Slow feeding prevents dangerous bloating (gastric dilatation-volvulus or GDV), reduces choking risk, improves nutrient absorption, and promotes better digestion. When dogs eat too quickly, they swallow excess air which can lead to bloating, discomfort, and in severe cases, life-threatening stomach torsion. The eTray's raised ridges force dogs to eat at a natural, healthy pace.

Beautiful Yin-Yang Symbolism: The sun and moon design is inspired by the ancient yin-yang philosophy representing balance, harmony, and the interconnection of opposites. The sun (yang) symbolizes energy, warmth, and activity, while the moon (yin) represents calm, coolness, and rest. This meaningful design brings balance to your dog's mealtime—slowing energetic eaters while providing calming enrichment. The burnt orange and purple color combination is both striking and soothing.

Mental Enrichment Value: The licking and foraging action releases endorphins that naturally calm anxious dogs, making mealtime a stress-relieving activity. Dogs need mental stimulation just as much as physical exercise, and the sun and moon pattern provides cognitive challenges that prevent boredom and reduce destructive behaviors like excessive barking, chewing, or digging.

Perfect for Brachycephalic Breeds: Flat-nosed dogs like pugs, bulldogs, French bulldogs, Boston terriers, and Pekingese often struggle with deep bowls due to their shortened snouts. The eTray's shallow design allows these breeds to access their food comfortably without straining their necks or faces. This reduces mealtime stress and prevents the breathing difficulties that can occur when flat-faced dogs struggle with deep bowls.

Versatile Enrichment Tool: Use the eTray for regular meals, as a calming lick mat during grooming or vet visits, as a treat dispenser for training rewards, or as a puzzle feeder to challenge your dog's problem-solving skills. The shallow design makes it accessible for puppies learning to eat, senior dogs with mobility issues, and brachycephalic breeds that struggle with traditional bowls. One product, multiple uses—exceptional value.

Dual-Sided Design Concept: The sun and moon pattern creates two distinct feeding zones with different textures and ridge patterns. The sun side features radiating ridges that spread outward, while the moon side has curved, flowing patterns. This variety keeps dogs engaged and provides different feeding challenges in one bowl, preventing mealtime boredom.

Promotes Mindful Eating: Just as humans benefit from mindful eating practices, dogs benefit from slowed, intentional feeding. The eTray transforms rushed, stressful mealtimes into calm, engaging experiences. Dogs must focus on navigating the pattern, which promotes present-moment awareness and reduces anxiety. This mindful approach to eating supports both physical and mental health.

Easy Care & Durability: The FDA-compliant material is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning (top rack recommended) and freezer safe for frozen treat preparation. The durable construction withstands daily use, and the non-slip base keeps the tray stable during enthusiastic eating or licking sessions. The burnt orange and purple colors resist staining and maintain their vibrant appearance.
