Outward Hound Fun Feeder Interactive Dog Bowl, Purple

I have a rescue dog that was abandoned in a vacant house. We have no idea how he survived for 2 months. He weighed 10 pounds when he was found. The city officer thought he was dying and took him to the shelter to be EU'd as a mercy. BUT a vet tech asked to give him a chance! Fast forward 3 years, Teddy is a healthy 35 pound Cocker and the love of my life. BUT he can't forget his days of starvation. So he was INHALING his food. This wonderful bowl slowed him way down and I know that's healthier for him.

We are using this for treats (she does not wolf down her regular meals so there's no need to slow that down). This and several other treat toys give me time to finish my breakfast & coffee. She definitely likes it. She licks up most of the tidbits inside the groves, and then she picks it up and turns it upside down, to get the ones she missed. When that's done, she starts chewing on one of the 4 little flaps sticking out on the bottom, along the "sticky" bumper which apparently is supposed to keep the dish from sliding around. Two gone, two to go. I try to keep an eye on her and take it away when the chewing starts, but I miss it sometimes. I expect it will last about half a year, based on We are using this for treats (she does not wolf down her regular meals so there's no need to slow that down).

Only her metal bowls for water & regular meals are safe from her destructive chewing. … more

It works, but for whatever reason my dog has the runs/looser poop than he does when he ate out of his regular bowl. Not really sure if it’s the bowl or what. I mean it did make him eat his food slower trying to get his kibble from the nooks and crannies of this bowl so it’s doing it’s job .

It works great! My dog use to finish her food in 30 seconds or under and it would make her sick. Now, it takes her about 3-5 minutes to finish her food. I would be wary if the size of your dogs food is large. The spaces in this dish are not super large. My dog's original food which was about the size of dice (maybe a little smaller) did not fit well between very well. Fortunately, I had to switch her dog food anyway and these pieces were much smaller and fit much better (the size of an eraser of a pencil, maybe a bit bigger). She loves breakfast and dinner even more than before! She gets so much more excited than she ever did. I think it was a win for both of us.

She is a mid size dog and the mini bowl holds more than enough food. It seems to slow down her eating, but I purchased just to entertain her. Eating is a highlight of her day. Why not let her enjoy it as much as possible? Bowl is well made. Rubber feet on it. She does not move it around or turn it over.

This bowl is amazing ! My pup used to gobble her food away in 2 minutes, often burping and even throwing up at times. With this bowl she takes 10-12 minutes to eat the same amount and is just as satisfied. I think I’m noticing less bloat in her belly too. So glad I made this purchase!

Let’s be honest, the only way my three would “eat slow” was if I hand fed them one kibble piece at a time. Seeing as I can’t do that, this slow feeder is the next best thing. They still eat fast but they actually chew their food and take 3 mins to finish instead of 30 secs, so I’d say it’s a pretty good improvement. I have the magenta and orange ones and they both work great. I recommend these all the time to friends with speedy eaters.

We recently changed foods and my dog was practically inhaling his meals. So I ordered this to try and slow him down. He doesn't seem to mind it and it definitely works to slow him down. He was downing 2 cups of food in about 30 seconds before, and now it takes about 5 minutes for him to eat. It's a win.

Taco inhales his food and then heads over to steal Amigo's. That was before we got this wonderful dish that slows him down and give the little Amigo time to decide if he is going to eat or not and sometimes Amigo even finishes first. The only thing is that Amigo thinks that purple is really pretty and wants his own, thank heaven they don't make one in his size.

For the past few years, I have gotten to know my dog as one to eat quite quickly. Shaking her bowl and the sound of it being filled up makes her really excited, and she kind of attacks the food when I give it to her. Not in a bad way, of course, just trying to eat as fast as possible. However, I’ve noticed that in doing so, she always got very gassy, bloated, had hiccups, and burped A LOT. So, I thought it was time to try one of these bowls out! At first, she was skeptical but after some training and positive reinforcement, she has no problem eating out of this bowl! I have definitely seen a change in her eating habits by eating slower and taking her time.
