"contrary to another review, i love this product. this is very obviously a BOWL, not a flat mat. this is great for my dog who likes to flip over lick mats and get it everywhere. the bowls help to keep the floor clean and i can easily flip them inside out to clean."

"Unfortunately didn’t last more than one day."

Bottom Line

The Hyper Pet IQ Busy Bowl is functional and does well in keeping bowls clean and making mealtime enjoyable for pets, but its short lifespan and durability issues make it a less ideal option for many pet owners. Consider this if quick food consumption is a minor problem but be ready for a potential replacement.
