Abstract
An animal feeder system and method of use is described herein. The animal feeder system is configured to distract, calm, or occupy an animal for an extended period of time. The animal feeder system includes an elastomeric body having an obverse side and a reverse side. The obverse side includes a feeding section having a plurality of nubs with a rim therearound. The plurality of nubs are configured to slow an animal's ability to lick food therefrom. On the reverse side is a plurality of suction cups to suction the animal feeder system to a surface to secure the feeder system in a single location. The obverse side may alternatively include a feeding receptacle to receive a disposable food container therein to alleviate the need to wash the animal feeder system between uses.
