Description
A Small Project Made with Big Love for Pets
This liquid treat bowl started as a simple idea at home: How can I make liquid treats more fun? Instead of letting broth or yogurt disappear in seconds, I wanted to create something that encourages pets to slow down, explore, and enjoy every last lick.
Designed by an amateur maker, refined through countless test prints, and shared with fellow pet lovers, this is a project made for the joy of creating—and hopefully, for bringing a little extra happiness to the animals we love.
Whether you have a playful puppy, a curious kitten, a senior companion, or simply a pet that loves tasty treats, this bowl is designed to turn everyday snacks into an engaging enrichment activity.
Designed for 3D Printing
The bowl is designed to print easily on most consumer 3D printers and consists of five printable parts:
- Base Bowl
- Lid
- Two Ball Halves
- Thread that joins the two ball halves together
No complicated assembly or special hardware is required—just print, assemble, and enjoy.
Why Your Pet Will Love It
The ball rolls in the liquid as your pet licks, creating a constant reward for being engaged.
Instead of quickly gulping down treats, it forces snack time to last longer while providing gentle mental stimulation. My dog kept going for 25 minutes until it was empty.
Perfect for serving:
- Bone broth
- Plain yogurt
- Goat's milk
- Diluted wet food
- Homemade liquid treats
- Pet-safe nutritional supplements
Suitable for both dogs and cats of all sizes.
More Than a Bowl
This isn't meant to be another plastic gadget.
It's a small DIY project created by someone who simply enjoys designing things that make pets happy.
If printing and sharing this bowl gives your dog a wagging tail or your cat a few extra minutes of curious entertainment, then the project has done exactly what it was made to do.
Boost Me (for free)
I hope it brings as much fun to your home as it has to mine.
Consider giving me a free boost if your pet enjoyed it.
It's free for you, but means the world to me.
