A tray (1) serves for presenting food to a pet/animal. The tray comprises a topside (2), an underside (3) and a peripheral side (4) extending between the topside and the underside of the tray (1). The topside is moreover partly formed as a number of up-turned grooves (5) and interconnected grooves (5). When a pet is retrieving food from the tray, the animal will not only be self-engaged and fed during retrieval of the food, but the tray will also ensure that the natural needs of the animal are meet with respect to the use of brain, olfactory sense and feeding. The animal will hereby be more relaxed and behave in a balanced manner.
