Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing viscous animal food includes a container and a dispensing sheet. The container includes a cavity formed by a sidewall, a concave bottom, and an open top. The sheet includes a perforated transverse wall or web with a downwardly curving profile that conforms to the concave bottom and a flange extending downwardly from the perimeter of the web. Rails are disposed along the sidewall to, along with conforming recesses in the perimeter of the sheet, guide movement of the sheet in the cavity. The flange interacts with the sidewall to resist pivotal movement of the sheet. A channel is provided about the perimeter of the concave bottom to receive the flange and enable receipt of the web on the concave bottom. Food disposed on the concave bottom is extruded through the sheet by downward forces applied by an animal during eating.

Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing viscous pet food includes a rigid, downwardly curved, perforated dispensing sheet and a container having a cylindrical inner sidewall and a bottom surface that conforms to the dispensing sheet. The dispensing sheet preferably features a plurality of recesses and the container a plurality of corresponding rails that allow the sheet to stably descend within the container as downward pressure is applied to the sheet and the viscous food is dispensed and consumed.
