An improved pet feeding dish is herein disclosed for causing pets to eat
their mealtime ration at a slower pace. The pet feeding dish generally
comprises an annular-shaped trough which compels the pet to move its
snout in a circular fashion therethrough, thereby slowing the eating
process. Additionally, obstructions in the form of wave-like indentations
are formed in the base of the dish to provide for even distribution of
food within the dish as well as to cause the pet to reach into each of
the furrows created thereby, thus further retarding the eating process.
The teachings of the present invention may be adapted for use with
virtually any type of pet that is capable of consuming food from a dish
structure such as dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, or other
similar type domesticated or non-domesticated animal.
