The design

Not just a bowl.
Not just a mat.
Both โ€” in one.

The YAMI bowl has a unique yin-yang dual-texture interior. Each half does a different job. Together they make mealtime something your pet genuinely looks forward to every day.

โšฌ
Uniform circle grid โ€” lick mat side
Tight repeating circles hold food in every groove, triggering natural foraging instincts and releasing calming endorphins with every lick.
โ—
Graduated bubble domes โ€” slow feeder side
Varying-size domes create unpredictable food pockets that force slower eating โ€” critical for pets who gulp their food and vomit afterward.
๐Ÿฑ
Wide, shallow profile โ€” whisker friendly
The open shape eliminates whisker contact with bowl sides. A 2024 NIH study found 74% of cats prefer wide, shallow dishes. Your cat will actually enjoy eating.

Step by step

How to use your
YAMI bowl

Four steps, any pet, any size. Works for daily meals, frozen treats, training rewards, and bath-time distraction.

01
๐Ÿงผ
Clean the surface
Wipe both the bowl base and the floor dry and clean. The 32 suction cups need a smooth, grease-free surface to seal properly.
โœ“ Tile, hardwood, laminate, bathtub โ€” perfect surfaces
02
๐Ÿฅ„
Spread your filling
Small pet? A thin single layer is all you need. Large dog? Fill generously. Use wet food, peanut butter, yogurt, broth, or pumpkin.
๐Ÿ’ก Small cat tip: 1โ€“2 tbsp spread thin = 5โ€“8 min of licking
03
โ„๏ธ
Freeze it (optional)
Pop in the freezer 1โ€“2 hours. Frozen fillings last 3ร— longer. Prep 5 bowls on Sunday and keep them ready all week.
๐ŸŒŸ Try peanut butter + banana frozen overnight
04
๐Ÿพ
Press & enjoy
Press firmly onto a clean smooth floor for 3โ€“5 seconds. Step back and watch the magic. Dishwasher safe โ€” top rack only.

Size guide

Works for every size.
Here's exactly how.

The YAMI bowl is 20cm (8 inches) wide โ€” intentionally. For small pets, that wide surface is more enriching, not less. A thin layer spread across a large area keeps a small cat or toy dog licking far longer than a packed small bowl.

YAMI bowl size โ€” 20cm diameter, 3.5cm deep, shown next to hand and phone for scale
Cats & small dogs ยท Under 15 lbs
๐Ÿฑ
The thin layer method
Spread just 1โ€“2 tablespoons in a single thin layer. The wide open surface forces your small pet to seek and lick across the whole bowl โ€” extending mealtime by minutes and engaging their brain fully.
๐Ÿ’ก A small cat with thin wet food licks for 5โ€“8 minutes. From a small bowl? Under 30 seconds.
โญ Sweet spot ยท Medium dogs ยท 15โ€“50 lbs
๐Ÿถ
Built for this size
Medium breeds get the perfect balance โ€” enough surface to stay engaged, enough depth for a full meal. Works beautifully with wet food, broth-soaked kibble, raw food, or spreadable treats.
๐Ÿ’ก Half portion frozen overnight = 10โ€“15 minutes of calm, focused licking every morning
Large & giant breeds ยท 50 lbs+
๐Ÿฆฎ
Full capacity enrichment
Pack with their regular meal + bone broth or raw food. The dual textures slow even the most aggressive gulpers, dramatically reducing bloat risk and post-meal vomiting.
๐Ÿ’ก Excellent for post-surgery recovery โ€” keeps large dogs calm without physical exertion

Why it works

Six benefits backed
by real research

Lick bowls aren't a trend โ€” they're recommended by Fear Free certified vets worldwide. Here's what the science actually confirms.

๐Ÿ˜Œ
Proven anxiety relief
Licking releases endorphins, producing a genuine calming effect. Used in Fear Free veterinary practices during fireworks, storms, vet visits, bath time, and separation anxiety.
Fear Free Veterinary ยท Dogster ยท Multiple clinical sources
๐Ÿง 
Mental enrichment
Five minutes of focused licking activates the brain's foraging reward pathways โ€” as mentally engaging as a walk. Critical for indoor cats and apartment dogs.
๐Ÿพ
Prevents bloat & vomiting
Slow feeding prevents the gulping of air that causes dangerous gastric dilation (GDV), volvulus, and post-meal vomiting โ€” a leading cause of emergency vet visits.
๐Ÿ’ง
Increases hydration
Using wet food increases daily moisture intake significantly โ€” critical for cats who are chronically underhydrated on dry-food diets and prone to kidney issues.
โ„๏ธ
Freezer-ready
Food-grade silicone handles sub-zero temperatures without cracking. Prep a full week of frozen meals on Sunday. Frozen fillings last 3ร— longer than fresh.
๐Ÿ’Š
Easy medication delivery
Hide pills or supplements in their favorite spread. The dual textures distribute food so thoroughly that even skeptical pets lick every last corner clean.

โšก Quick suction cup tip
The 32 suction cups work best on smooth tile, hardwood, or laminate. Wipe both the bowl base and the floor clean before pressing. Hold for 3โ€“5 seconds. If it slides, there's usually moisture or pet hair on the surface โ€” wipe and retry.

Our story

Made for Hayami.
Made for yours.

YAMI was born because of a dog named Hayami. She struggled with digestion, eating too fast, and the quiet anxiety that came with every meal. We searched for something that could help โ€” a product that combined slow feeding, enrichment, and calm in one simple tool. We couldn't find it. So we built it.

The yin-yang dual-texture design isn't just aesthetic. It reflects a belief in balance โ€” the lick mat side calms and engages, the slow feeder side nourishes and protects. Together they turn a 30-second feeding frenzy into a mindful daily ritual your pet genuinely looks forward to.

Every YAMI bowl is made from 100% food-grade, BPA-free silicone โ€” the same grade used in baby products. Because what your pet eats from matters as much as what they eat.
