Your dog inhales dinner. This makes her earn it.
PawPace is a 2-in-1 station: a petal-maze slow feeder for the actual meal, and a rolling-ball lick dome for everything that pours. Both anchored to one suction tray, so nothing slides and nothing ends up on your floor.
- Slow-feeder bowl for kibble and a lick dome for liquids — one tray
- Rolling ball keeps broth, yogurt and wet food moving as she licks
- Suction-cup base grips smooth floors so it won't slide or flip
- Splits into three parts — dishwasher-safe, top rack
- Food-grade, BPA-free silicone. Sized for small, medium and large dogs
- One complete 2-in-1 station
- Free US shipping
- Second station 40% off
- One for kibble, one for frozen enrichment
- Or a second dog, second room
- Buy 2, get the third free
- Freeze one while the others are in use
- Lowest price per station

What can I put in it?
Slow-feeder bowl: dry kibble, wet food, raw or fresh food, or a scatter of training treats.
Always choose ingredients that suit your own dog. Skip xylitol, chocolate, grapes, onion and anything your vet has told you to avoid.
Cleaning
Shipping & returns
She isn't eating fast.She's swallowing without chewing.
A dog that clears a full bowl in under fifteen seconds isn't tasting the food — she's inhaling it, and a lot of air with it. That's where the gagging, the burping and the after-dinner discomfort come from.
Air with every gulp
Swallowing fast means swallowing air. That's the bloated belly, the burping, and the restless pacing twenty minutes after dinner.
Gagging and bringing it back up
Kibble that goes down whole often comes straight back up — undigested, on your floor, five minutes later.
A risk factor you can change
In the large Purdue cohort study of big and giant breeds, faster eating was among the factors linked to higher risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus. Most risk factors are genetic. This one isn't.
A brain with nothing to do
Meals are the biggest event in a dog's day. An eight-second dinner uses none of it — and the boredom shows up as chewing, barking and pacing.
What the research actually says
No invented percentages. Here's the published work, and what it does and doesn't show.
Bloat is not a rare problem in big dogs
A prospective study followed 1,637 large and giant breed dogs and recorded a 6% incidence of gastric dilatation-volvulus — a sudden, life-threatening emergency. Deep-chested breeds carry most of that risk.
Slow feeders genuinely slow eating
A peer-reviewed study out of Harper Adams University compared slow-feeding bowls against standard bowls. Dogs ate measurably slower from the slow feeder — and although they got quicker with practice, they never returned to standard-bowl speed.
Eating speed is on the modifiable list
In that same Purdue cohort, faster speed of eating and a raised feeding bowl were among the factors significantly associated with increased GDV risk. Findings across studies are mixed, but where an effect appears, fast eating is the one flagged.
PawPace is a feeding and enrichment accessory — not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent bloat, GDV or any other condition, and no bowl can. If your dog is a deep-chested breed, has a family history of GDV, or shows signs of distress after meals, your vet leads that conversation.
One tray. Two completely different jobs.
A lick mat only holds spreads. A ball licker only holds liquids. A slow feeder only handles kibble. PawPace does all three, side by side, anchored to your floor.
For everything that pours
Fill the dome, drop in the textured ball, click the shell on top. Every lick spins the ball back through the liquid and brings a fresh coat to the surface — so a few spoonfuls last far longer than they would in an open bowl.
- Bone broth, goat milk, plain yogurt, thinned wet food
- Freeze it for a much longer session
- The shell stops her tipping it out in one go
For the actual meal
The raised petal maze breaks one big mouthful into dozens of small ones. She has to nose around the ridges instead of scooping — which is exactly the mechanism the Harper Adams study measured.
- Dry kibble, wet food, fresh or raw
- Shallow enough that she isn't fighting the bowl
- Lifts out, so you can use the tray on its own
Two textures. Two challenges. One dog who is finally busy at dinner.
Why dog owners switch to PawPace
No sliding across the kitchen. No puddles. No scrubbing tiny crevices with a toothbrush.
Meals That Actually Last
The maze and the rolling ball both force small mouthfuls instead of scoops.
Licking Has Somewhere To Go
Long, repetitive licking is one of the calmest things a dog can do with itself.
Suction-Lock Base
Grips smooth floors so an enthusiastic eater can't push, drag or flip it.
The Tray Catches Everything
Broth, crumbs and drool land on silicone instead of your floorboards.
Three Parts, Top Rack
Pulls apart in seconds. Nothing to unscrew, no tubes to poke at.
Food-Grade & BPA-Free
Soft enough not to bruise gums, tough enough to survive a determined chewer's edges.
Why not just buy a lick mat?
You could. Then you'd buy a slow feeder too, and a tray to keep them both off the floor.

Dinner stops being a race.
The petal maze doesn't block the food — it simply makes a scoop impossible. She has to work around the ridges, one mouthful at a time, which is exactly what turns a fifteen-second meal into a proper one.
- Small mouthfuls instead of scoops
- Less swallowed air, less post-dinner burping
- Works with dry, wet, fresh and raw food
Licking is the off-switch you've been looking for.
Long, repetitive licking is one of the most self-soothing things a dog can do. Load the dome before the vacuum comes out, before you take a call, or before you leave — and give the restlessness somewhere useful to go.
- Freeze it the night before for a much longer session
- Good for crate training, grooming and thunderstorms
- The rolling ball keeps rewarding the effort
Nothing slides. Nothing spills. Nothing to scrub.
The suction base holds the whole station in place, the raised tray edge keeps broth where it belongs, and the three parts pull apart in about two seconds for the dishwasher.
- 1,080 g of silicone — heavy enough to stay put
- Raised lip catches drips and crumbs
- Top-rack dishwasher safe, no crevice tool required
Set it up in under two minutes.
Use whatever dog-safe food she already eats. No app, no batteries, no assembly.
Fill the bowl
Tip her usual measure of kibble, wet food or fresh food into the petal maze.
Load the dome
Add broth, goat milk, plain yogurt or wet food thinned with a splash of water.
Ball in, shell on
Drop the textured ball into the dome and press the shell down until it clicks.
Press & serve
Push the tray onto a clean, smooth floor so the suction cups grip — then supervise.
Tip: if the ball stops turning, the mixture is too thick. Thin it with a little water. Freeze the loaded dome for two to three hours if you want the session to last considerably longer.

Comfortably a full-meal bowl. Both sides get used at every dinner.
Still a full-meal bowl for most. Split very large portions across two servings.
Use it as a treat and enrichment station rather than the main dinner bowl. Honest answer — we'd rather tell you now than take the return.
What to expect
Most dogs figure out the maze on the first meal. The dome usually takes a session or two.
Confusion, then interest
She'll try to scoop, fail, and switch to nosing. Stay nearby for the first meal so she doesn't get frustrated.
The new normal
The maze becomes routine and meals settle into a steady rhythm. This is usually when the gagging and burping quieten down.
Dinner becomes an activity
She works the dome after the bowl is empty. Mealtimes take real minutes, and the after-dinner mood is noticeably calmer.
Every dog is different — some take to the dome immediately, some need a week of easy wins first.
What dog parents are saying
"Bear used to finish a full cup in about eight seconds and then burp for ten minutes straight. Dinner now takes him six or seven, and the burping has basically stopped. I didn't expect a bowl to be the fix."
"I freeze yogurt in the dome the night before and pull it out when I've got calls. Twenty quiet minutes, and the tray means none of it ends up on the rug. Bought a second one within a fortnight."
"Our old plastic slow feeder went skating across the tiles every single meal. This one has not moved once. That alone was worth it — the lick side was a bonus we now use daily."
"Rescue dog, food anxiety, ate like someone was going to take it away. Six weeks in he actually chews. Not a miracle cure, but genuinely the biggest change we've made."
"Three pieces, straight in the dishwasher, done. I've thrown out two lick mats because I could never get them properly clean. This one I actually keep using."
"Bought it for the puppy, the older one claimed it. Ended up ordering the three pack so nobody has to wait their turn."
