The SodaPup Wave eBowl is one of the best slow feeder dog bowls for reducing bloat risk and creating calming mealtime enrichment — a USA-made, FDA-compliant TPE bowl with a flowing wave-pattern maze that slows eating by up to 10x, reducing the risk of bloat (gastric dilatation-volvulus) and digestive discomfort. Recommended by veterinarians for fast eaters, dogs prone to GDV, and as a daily mental stimulation tool.

Why Slow Feeders Prevent Bloat
When dogs eat too fast, they swallow large amounts of air along with their food. This excess air can cause gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV/bloat) — a potentially fatal condition in which the stomach expands and rotates. GDV is most prevalent in large and deep-chested breeds but poses a real risk to any dog that consistently gulps meals. Slow feeder bowls interrupt rapid eating, reducing air ingestion, supporting healthy digestion, minimizing gas, and turning every feeding into a calming enrichment session.
The Wave eBowl's undulating ridge channels guide dogs to eat in a more deliberate, rhythmic pattern, slowing intake naturally. The wave pattern is especially effective for medium and large breeds that tend to push flat bowls around, as the deep 2" ridges hold food in position while the dog works through each section. Available in blue, the Wave eBowl is made from the same durable, food-safe TPE used across all SodaPup enrichment products.
Who the Wave eBowl Is Designed For
Fast eaters prone to bloat or GDV
Medium and large breeds including Labs, Golden Retrievers, and Shepherds
Dogs with post-meal gas, belching, or digestive discomfort
Anxious dogs who benefit from focused mealtime tasks
Pet owners seeking a practical and visually appealing slow feeder
How to Use the SodaPup Wave eBowl
Fill with your dog's regular dry kibble, wet food, raw diet, or a mix
Set on a non-slip surface at your dog's regular feeding spot
Let your dog navigate the wave ridges at a natural pace
For frozen enrichment: fill with broth, wet food, or peanut butter and freeze overnight
Clean in the top rack of the dishwasher after each meal
Made in the USA from FDA-compliant, food-safe TPE. BPA-free, PVC-free, phthalate-free. Microwave safe, dishwasher safe, freezer safe. Safe for all dog breeds and sizes.
I bought two bowls and am very happy with them. I like that they are USA made. Lots of small compartments for separating kibble, wet food with supplements, fresh veggies and apple slices. I have noticed it takes longer for my labs to finish a meal. That’s a good thing!
Hi Pamela - Thank you for your review. We're so happy to hear that the Wave Bowl is slowing down your speed eater!

Awesome slow feeder!
My dog eats super fast. Two minutes and she is done with her food fast. With this slow feeder bowl, it takes her 15 minutes to finish her meal. I think she enjoys her food more using this slow feeder. Love the color and the design on being more raised in areas and shallower in others. I will say food gets stuck where is end of the wave is. Her tongue is long and nimble but still has trouble getting to certain spots.

Great product!
I usually feed my lab from a snuffle mat but sometimes there just isn't time to fill one, or she is tired enough already so I wanted a simpler alternative. This bowl fits the bill. It takes her some time to finish her food, but not as long as the snuffle mat. It will be good to use when we travel and when we leave her with friends.

Love this bowl
This bowl really slows down my speed eaters! Love that it now takes them 3-4 minutes to eats instead of 30 seconds with their other slow feeders. Wish it came in multiple colors.
Thank you for your review Michelle. I'm so happy to hear that the Wave Bowl is working for you and your speed eaters!
I love these! I got the yellow, blue and rose red. I'll count back for the green one and if they add a purple one, I'll take one of those too.
I have an 8 month old amstaff and depending on what i put in it, it takes her from 20 minutes for bone broth based, up to 45 minutes for pumpkin with oatmeal and a few liver bites.
P.S. I don't use a dishwasher so I don't know if they are safe for that but they wash up super quick and easy in the sink.
I was very pleasantly surprised at how heavy, solid and sturdy these are. I'll be back for more!!
Our 2 dogs love these honeypots so much more than kongs! They get discouraged by kongs and leave a good amount of food/treat behind but never with these honeypots! They ALWAYS lick them clean so I feel comfortable putting their meals in them and freezing them. I keep hearing that there is a risk for the dog’s tongue to get stuck inside by suction but the opening is pretty large so it seems unlikely to me. Regardless, I don’t let my dogs have them unless I am there to supervise.
Another great find! I was curious if this would be too deep for my 30lb dog, I shouldn't have given a thought - it's perfect! Glad to have new Soda Pup feeders in rotation!
My pups and I love Soda Pup! The products are thoughtfully designed, produced, and loved by my dogs! I appreciate the sustainable efforts, ability to buy seconds, and quick shipping! We have slow feeders, like mats, honey pots, glitter balls, and more!
Great value & highly recommend! Great product for my Aussie puppy who loves to chew and chase. 3 in a pack is great. I added a thin rope to 2 to make tug toys. Bonus! No squeak and a sustainable option!

Strong suction & perfect for older dogs
I got this suction cup lick mat holder to pair with the bones eMat and it works great. He tends to slide the mat around while licking, so this holder has been really helpful. The suction cups are strong and actually stay put. Plus, it's super easy to clean. Defientily worth it if your dog moves their lick mats all over the place.

We have a boarding facility in Oregon where we also bring in foster dogs. These treat dispensers are perfect for dogs as well as for our workers. They freeze great, for the dogs that enjoy this type of thing it is easy to actually get in and eat their whole dinner. And EASY TO KEEP CLEAN. when you are dealing with a lot of dogs that last one is probably the most important. WE LOVE THESE

Cute and functional!
We got a new puppy and needed some things to work on training with her. This bundle has been awesome. She loves the bear and the treats that come from it. The slow feeder has helped slow her down so no more getting sick. And the lick stick one has helped motivate her to walk a little further and also working on learning heel. The lick mat had been a great way for me to enjoy morning coffee while pup gets a treat as well. I picked this bundle cause I named my pup Honey and all the honey theme things seamed to perfect not to try.
