Below is a list of recommended dog bowls and feeders for 2025: 

1. LickiMat Indoor Keeper Dog Lick Mat Bowl - the best dog feeder based on 2024 sales and reliability data. This 2-in-1 dog bowl and lick mat could be all you and your dog ever need! Combining a standard size bowl with space for a lick mat inside, these feeders a great for reducing mess at dinnertime; the lick mat is secured and cannot be dragged around or chewed up by your pup! The Indoor Keeper can hold up to 6 cups of dry food and is made from both food-safe and dishwasher-safe material. It is important to note that the Lickimat is sold separately - it fits all Classic Lickimats. Available in 3 colours: Turquoise, Grey and Pink. 

2. Loving Pets Bella Dog Bowls - the second best dog feeder based on 2024 sales and reliability data. If you're a long-time dog owner, you're likely to have heard of the best selling Bella Bowls by Loving Pets. These bowls are functional and stylish, combining a stainless steel interior with a colourfully themed exterior. The stainless steel makes these bowls easier to clean, whilst also being bacteria resistant and safer for your dog. Additionally, these bowls comprise a removable rubber base that prevents spills, reduces noise and (when removed) make these bowls dishwasher safe. Available in sizes S - XL. Available in 5 colours: Espresso, Merlot, Copper, Pink and Blue. 

3. LickiMat Slow Feeders Classic Buddy - A highly recommended dog feeder that's great for dinnertime or treat-based enrichment! These mats are ideal for reducing boredom and encouraging your dog to eat slowly, in turn aiding digestion and minimising bloating. The criss-cross maze design is perfect for thick treats like peanut butter, treat pastes, wet food or soggy biscuits, and makes treats last longer. The repetitive licking action has several benefits for your dog; the saliva produced will better protect your dogs teeth and gums, whilst the licking itself releases endorphins that can help sooth anxious dogs. Available in a range of 10 colours, including purple, yellow, mint, and pink. 

4. Dogit Elevated Dog Dish Bowl - a great choice of bowl for larger or older dogs! These bowls are designed to offer a more comfortable and suitable eating/ drinking position for dogs. This is particularly beneficial for dogs that have muscle or joint problems, as less straining is involved. The stainless steel interior can be easily removed for cleaning and is dishwasher safe. Available in white, black and blue. 

5. LickiMat Dog Slow Feeder Plate - much like the LickiMat Classic, these feeders are designed with slower food consumption and anti-gulping features in mind. With deeper, maze-like grooves, these plates succeed in separating your dog's meal out into 'mini meals' to prolong eating and reduce stress. Perfect for dry, wet and raw foods, and ideal for flat-nosed breeds (e.g. all Bully breeds). Available in 6 colours. Dishwasher and freezer safe.
