A device for feeding animals is provided, the device having an upwardly open enclosure further including a lip disposed about the open portion of the enclosure, a sidewall disposed about the enclosure; and a bottom surface disposed in the interior of the enclosure within the confines of the sidewall. A plurality of upwardly open feeding compartments is disposed in the bottom surface of the enclosure. The feeding compartments further include a shaped sidewall disposed about the compartment and a compartment bottom enclosed within the confines of the shaped sidewall. The compartments are shaped so as to slow the consumption of feed to a safe rate of eating for the animal. The total volume of the compartments equals a single ration of food. The enclosure and sidewall are dimensioned to reduce distractions while the animal is eating and promote freedom of movement of the jaw and neck of the animal during feeding.
