Our verdict

The Mandala eTray is the slow feeder we recommend for dogs that need shallow access. At 0.6 inches deep and about 8 inches across it is easy for pugs, French bulldogs, puppies and seniors to reach, while the layered ridges and channels still make meals slower. It holds about 1 cup, works with wet food, kibble, raw or frozen meals, and goes in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Why we like it

  • Shallow depth is easy for short snouts, puppies and seniors.
  • Ridges and channels make mealtime slower.
  • Freezer and top-rack dishwasher safe, in five colors.

Keep in mind

A 1 cup capacity is small for a large dog's full meal, and SodaPup describes it as best for small to medium dogs. For medium and large dogs with a normal-length snout, SodaPup's deeper eBowls hold more.

Who it’s for

Small to medium dogs, flat-faced breeds, puppies, seniors and fast eaters. Capacity is about 1 cup of food.

Why shallow matters

Flat-faced dogs such as pugs, French bulldogs and Boston terriers can find deep bowls hard to reach. SodaPup lists the 0.6 inch Mandala as a shallow option that is still textured enough to slow eating.

How the pattern works

The layered mandala ridges and channels create small pockets that hold kibble, wet food or soft treats, so dogs work through each groove with the tongue and nose.

Frozen meals and cleanup

Fill it with wet food or a pureed meal, freeze it, then wash it on the top rack of the dishwasher. SodaPup lists it as freezer safe.

Our buying advice

Choose the Mandala for short snouts and smaller portions. For medium and large dogs, look at the SodaPup Flower eBowl or Honeycomb eBowl.
