This is just what our big Britt needed!

One of our dogs gulped his food down and then wanted more. I read an article about slow feed dog bowlls, but the ones I found were very expensive. Then I saw them at Petco.com and ordered one. Very easy to use and my Britt now takes as long to clean his bowl as our other normal eating dog. Makes things so much better. I'm hoping it will take care of him turning to me like I never fed him...just because he was through a regular bowl of food in seconds. Thanks! Well worth the price!!

It does what it says it does! It has definitely slowed down my puppys eating. With a regular bowl he was done in 30 seconds, it now takes him about 2 minutes.

We have a dog who has been notorious her whole life for pretty literally inhaling her food. I hardly ever hear her chew. This bowl has made her slow down a little bit. She does take the time to chew most bites and she swallows before she goes for more food. However she's still always the first dog done her food!

We bought this bowl for our lab who would wolf down his food, burp and then throw up. It's been a week and no up chuck. He still eats fast, but not as fast as if we fed him in a regular bowl. Buy it online if you can, it's more expensive in the stores than on the website which isn't cool, but we needed it and couldn't wait.

I would recommend this bowl as it did slow my dog down as far as how he ate his food. I then switched his food and it became a disaster, as he would not eat at all, not even out of his old bowl. The blow definitely does the job and I would recommend it to any dog owner that has a gulper.

slows down gulping

my dog inhales his food out of competition now that i moved in with family and they have other inside dogs as well. i puchased this to stop the gulping. it worked the first time. it works better on smaller kibbles obviousely as they will fall in between the slats easier, but it still slows him down with large kibbles too. it stops gulping because they have to actually take bites not glups. it does its job and is pretty much indestructible. some dogs are just determined to eat fast, but this slows them down by half. either way, its still a safer way for your dog to eat. my new pup picked up the gulping habit, and i am purchasing one for him. also the results were so good on my first dog, that my family is purchasing one for their "gulper".

I got this for my 3 month old puppy I rescued from a shleter because I stated to notice just how quickly she would inhale her food and also that she wasn't even chewing. I used this bowl for maybe about a week or two and slowed her down a little bit, but she is smart and would just walk around the whole bowl to push the food to the middle so she could take mouthfuls of food because there's no obstruction in the middle. Also, she would just flip the bowl over to get out all the food that way too. Didn't help at all, so I returned it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Really slows down the chow hound!

Well, a pointer, at least. Our 80lb pointer would scarf his food down, quite literally not chewing, and sometimes "upchuck" after the meal. We knew he didn't chew because most of the re-appearing kibbles were whole . . . quite gross to clean up. I decided to try this bowl, and it works like a charm! He can't get both his upper and lower jaw into a partition at the same time, so he has to lap up the kibbles, greatly slowing his feast. He has fantastic concentration, and he just locks his attention onto his food, taking about three times as long to eat, chewing every bite. We've had the bowl for about two weeks, and his food hasn't made a encore in that time. Perfect!

Not worth the price

I bought two bowls for my two puppies. First off, I really don't think 4.5 c's of food could fit into this bowl, more like 2-3. The odd shaped dividers made it difficult for them to get their mouths in the small areas to eat at a reasonable pace. I know it's made to force them to eat slower but this was REALLY slow & they couldn't get to all of the food inside. They in turn started to paw at the food, bite the raised plastic, etc. The bowls lasted less than a day. I wouldn't recommend this particular bowl. The odd shaped dividers and the depth of the bowl made it more difficult than necessary, especially for the price.

I tried all kinds of things to get my dog to eat slower. Nothing worked. This bowl has been wonderful. She eats slower and doesn't choke anymore.

i needed a bowl for my 2yr yellow lab service dog, would eat her food under 1 minute. now she takes a couple of minutes. at first she did not know what to do with the unique design, after a few seconds, she figured it out. her eating is much better now. thank you.

slow feed bowl & head harness

this divided slow feed bowl does slow our 6 months old puppy down, she is very busy planning her next bite......She still has a ways to go to have any manners....
After our dog grows some more, the head harness might work just fine, but at this point the recommended size doesn't fit properly. Didn't want to buy two as she grew, so just bought what you said...

My three bassets inhaled their food until we purchased these bowls a few days ago. It's slowed them WAY down, which will help prevent the dreaded bloat. I would recommend this to any pet parent who is concerned about speed eating!

Perfect Size Bowl for our Lab

At first glance, this bowl seemed too large but it's perfectly sized for our lab. She tends to eat at a frantic pace and it has slowed her down by at least a few minutes. Cleans up well and is much lower priced online than in the store.
