Bowl-Free Feline Feeders

The NoBowl Feeding System Allows Cats to Hunt for Their Food

— March 15, 2016 — Lifestyle
The 'NoBowl Feeding System' is a revolutionary pet product that allows cats to hunt for their dinner. Cats have a natural instinct to hunt, meaning the act finding their food can be both physically and mentally stimulating. This system makes the process of feeding more stimulating for cats by removing the traditional food bowl from the equation.

The NoBowl Feeding System was developed by veterinarian Dr. Liz Bales. The system consists of a mouse-shaped bowl designed to reawaken a cat’s natural hunting instinct. Food is inserted into the 2 dispensing holes at the top and then the device can be placed anywhere in the home. The product's tactile design allows cats to use their claws and teeth to play with their food in a stimulating way.

The bowl-free feline feeding system ultimately provides nourishment and environmental enrichment at the same time in order to keep cats physically and mentally stimulated.
