Outward Hound Fun Feeder Interactive Dog Bowl, Purple

This slows down my little pig dog who normally eats her food like John Belushi in Animal House ate jello while going through the careteria. One slurp and it's gone in a nanosecond! Now it takes her as long to eat as my frustratingly slow dog who searches for the exact piece of kibble she wants, moves it from the bowl to the floor, plays with it, sets another piece or two next to it to examine for differences, eats it chewing 100 times, then stares out the window contemplating the meaning of life before repeating the process with the next piece of kibble. Since the little pig dog now eats almost as slowly as the aggravating other dog, there is less frustration for the pig dog.

At first I thought this bowl was torturing our newly adopted border collie, who was woofing her food way too fast. She was able to reach and eat all the food but was not able to woof it down upsetting her digestion. Our other collie who eats slow to begin with was showing interest in the bowl so we bought her one. She loves it, takes forever to eat, but it apparently is very stimulating and she seems to enjoy digging out all the food.

This product worked. When I first used the bow, I was concerned that my boxer may not be able to eat his food. Even with his short muzzle and wide mouth, he didn't have any problem eating his food and it prevented him from gobbling his food. Before I got the bowl, he was throwing up a few times daily because he was eating so fast. I've used the bowl for several weeks now and he hasn't thrown up his food.

Our two dogs inhaled their food, so we were looking for something to slow them down. This is a great choice. It now takes our dogs at least 10 minutes to eat, where before they were finished in seconds. Rubber on the bottom keeps it from slipping as well. Only downfall is it doesn’t hold much food, so we have to give our Great Dane another scoop of food after he’s done with the first scoop.

I have an 8 year old female mastiff who could eat all four cups of food in a matter of seconds. This bowl slows her down to about 3 minutes but she really has to work for her food. It confused her the first night or two but after that she became a pro. The bowl is pretty good about staying in place too; she’s still able to move it around some but due to her size that’s no surprise.

My dog is on meds that makes him ravenous. He woofed down any food I gave him and then would try to steal other dogs food that were eating slower. He begin choking on his food so I knew it was time to do something to slow him down. I tried different bowls and plates that didn't help much. This bowl makes him work to get the food out and slows his eating to a normal and safe pace.

Our bordoodle barely takes a breath when he eats. I definitely don't hear any chewing. This bowl slows him down and what would've taken him 30 seconds (or less) to eat now takes him 3-5 minutes. We also smear a teaspoon of peanut only peanut butter on the bottom and sides of the bowl for a treat. It keeps him busy and entertained and he loves it!

It took a couple tries for our young German Shepherd to like eating out of this feeder - at first he got impatient and clawed it till it flipped. But now he really seems to enjoy the chance to eat from it. He lies down and holds the dish with his forelegs and paws so it doesn't move away while he works at getting the kibble out of it.

Our dog was finishing her food really fast and we wanted a way to slow her down a little. She still eats pretty fast but it slowed her down at least a little. It also makes it easier to hide some goodies down below the dry food and she can't just nose the food around and get to the goodies without eating the dry food as well.

My 14 year old Rat Terrier has diabetes and is blind. She also has a voracious appetite and can gobble her meal in under 30 seconds. This bowl keeps her busy for over 10 minutes and she loves the challenge of getting every morsel. I use wet dog food and it works wonderfully. She is able to eat the bowl completely clean. The funny thing is my slow eating Shitzu is also fascinated by this bowl and seems to think it's a toy so I've ordered one for him too. My cat is also intrigued so at meal time my Rat Terrier has an audience. It's quite funny to watch. The value is not only that it slows down feeding but also the challenge it provides my blind dog who is unable to live the active life she did My 14 year old Rat Terrier has diabetes and is blind.

This is not only promoting better health for my dog but some much needed mental stimulation. … more
