While the Slow Treater is dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand washing. Doing so will extend the life of the suction cups.

The surface patterns of the three models differ a little to better suit different types of foods, treats and liquids. All three surfaces are suitable for raw, wet, dry and liquid dog food, as well as any manner of treat. Most of our testers hate baths. Mention the word ‘bathtime,’ and our two Labrador testers will hide behind the couch. Meanwhile, I have to physically place my pup in the bathtub and hold her by the collar while my husband scrubs and rinses the suds out of her wooly coat. We all get covered in water as our pup puts up a fight. Any dog-friendly fruit works on here, but watermelon is particularly delicious (and hydrating), so it’s a good one to remember when the weather perks up. Simply spread watermelon, top with blueberries or your dog’s favourite treats and pop in the freezer to firm up.Creating more saliva – better protecting teeth and gums, freshening breath Distraction aid for grooming and vet inspections (and zoom calls too!) But where the Aquapaw Slow Treater really shines is in the bathroom. The three suction cups held strong no matter where we placed it – shower glass, side of the bathtub or even the tiled wall. Our Labrador tester was another success story. He tore the ACL in his leg a few years ago and since then snaps at anyone who touches him below the shoulder. Grooming him has always been difficult.

We recommend choosing the large size because it provides more room to smear food. I took advantage of the extra space by using it to offer my dog different foods at once. One strip of peanut butter, one of pumpkin, and another of cream cheese. My pup loved it! As your dog focuses on his tasty treat, you have all the time you need to perform your doggy beauty routine.

Notices and Legals

The horizontal grooves are exceptionally difficult to clean out completely. Speaking of which, because you hang this on your window, I only recommend peanut butter. Anything runnier like yogurt drips down your car door making a mess. Trust me… I learned the hard way.
