Learn how to set up the BUSTER Incredibowl for messy eaters and long-eared dogs. Follow our step-by-step guide for a stable, no-tip dog bowl that slows fast eating.
Quick answer
To set up the BUSTER Incredibowl for dogs, place it on a flat, non-slip surface, fill it with wet or tinned food, and position it so your dog's ears fall outside the cone. This weighted dog bowl stays put and slows fast eaters, making it ideal for messy eaters and long-eared breeds.
Why the Incredibowl works for messy eaters
The BUSTER Incredibowl's conical shape is the key to its mess-control design. By keeping long ears outside the bowl, it prevents them from dragging through wet food, which reduces staining and unpleasant odours. The inward-sloping sides also encourage dogs to eat from the inner corners, naturally slowing down fast eaters and supporting healthier digestion. Made from soft, food-grade TPE, the bowl is gentle on your dog's nose and ears while still being durable enough for daily use.
When a weighted bowl isn't the right choice
While the Incredibowl suits many dogs, it may not be ideal for every situation. Dogs that are extremely aggressive chewers might damage the soft TPE material over time, so supervision is advised. Also, if your dog is a very messy drinker, the bowl is designed for wet food rather than water, so you may need a separate water bowl. Finally, the bowl's effectiveness depends on correct placement; if your dog can flip it over, you may need to use a non-slip mat underneath.
Step-by-step Incredibowl setup
- Choose a flat, non-slip surface: Place the Incredibowl on a flat, stable surface such as a tiled floor or a feeding mat. Avoid uneven or slippery surfaces, as they can let the bowl slide or tip. Checkpoint: The bowl should sit flush without rocking.
- Position the bowl for ear clearance: Set the bowl down so that your dog approaches from the side where their ears naturally fall outside the cone. For long-eared breeds, this usually means the bowl's higher edge faces away from the ears. Checkpoint: Watch your dog's first few bites—ears should stay outside the bowl.
- Fill with wet or tinned food: Spoon wet food into the bowl, spreading it evenly around the inner corners. Do not overfill; leave space so your dog can reach the food without pushing it over the edge. Checkpoint: The food level should be below the rim to prevent spillage.
- Guide your dog to the inner corners: Encourage your dog to eat from the inner corners by pointing or placing a small piece of food there. This helps them adapt to the slower eating pattern. Checkpoint: If your dog tries to gulp from the center, gently redirect them.
- Monitor and adjust as needed: Observe your dog during the first few meals. If they manage to flip the bowl or seem frustrated, try a non-slip mat underneath or adjust the food amount. Checkpoint: A successful setup means the bowl stays put and your dog eats calmly.
