Hive Plate by Trixie – Slow Feeder for Dogs to Improve Digestion

The Trixie Dog Slow Feeding Hive Plate is an intelligently designed feeding solution that helps dogs slow down at mealtime, promoting better digestion and healthier eating habits. With a raised honeycomb-style maze, this plate requires your dog to work around each pocket to access their food, encouraging mental engagement and portion control. Perfect for both kibble and treats, the Hive Plate is made from pet-safe, durable plastic and features a non-slip base to keep it steady during enthusiastic use. Ideal for all breed sizes, this feeder plate transforms mealtime into a stimulating, satisfying challenge.

Benefits:

• Slows Fast Eaters: The honeycomb design prevents gulping, which can reduce bloating, choking, and indigestion.
• Encourages Natural Foraging: Mimics the way dogs search for food in the wild, offering mental stimulation with every meal.
• Non-Slip Base: Keeps the plate securely in place, even on slippery floors.
• Easy to Clean: Made of BPA-free plastic that is easy to rinse or hand wash between uses.
• Great for Daily Use: Works for dry food, small treats, or even semi-moist options (avoid liquids or runny foods).

Is this suitable for flat-faced (brachycephalic) dogs?

Yes, the open and shallow honeycomb layout is more accessible than traditional deep, slow-feeder bowls, making it appropriate for many flat-faced breeds.

Can this be used with wet food?

It’s best used with dry kibble or semi-moist treats. Wet or liquid food may be harder to clean and reduce the toy’s effectiveness.
