Outward Hound Fun Feeder Interactive Dog Bowl, Purple

We have two of these; one small and one large for our pitbull and chihuahua; and they have been the best purchase we ever made!!! Our pitbull gets extremely gassy, and the slow feeder has helped keep the bloating and the burping down significantly. The chihuahua only wants fast when the pitbull is around because she gets food anxiety. The slow feeder has stopped her from eating WAY too fast and has kept them both occupied enough that they don't pay attention to each other! They both have healthier weight and I truly think they enjoy the "puzzle" of eating! These bowls are amazing and we highly recommend them for any dog, but ESPECIALLY the "stuff your face" dog ♡ Thanks Chewy!

We have a boxer/shepherd that acts like he hasn’t eaten in a week when it’s time to eat. I have no idea why but it causes our other dog to eat fast so he doesn’t come and eat hers when he’s done with his! We figured we’d try one of these bowls that’s supposed to slow down a dogs eating. The bowl was way bigger than I expected and the design/grooves were deeper than I thought so we tried it as soon as it came in just in case it didn’t work. WOW! It slowed his eating way down! He didn’t get frustrated either which I thought he would. He took his time and managed to get everything out slowly. I didn’t think anything would ever slow him Down THAT much. Our other dog was done way before him and she We have a boxer/shepherd that acts like he hasn’t eaten in a week when it’s time to eat.

I have a Great Dane that had stomach torsion and had emergency surger. Since then, finding a slow feeder has been a challenge. This kind of works, but only if I wet the kibble first. It really doesn't slow her down more than a few seconds vs just handing it straight to her. I'm not sure if it's her or possibly the design is too easy for her? The product itself is nice plastic, doesn't skid and I can put it in the dishwasher. Just for the purpose I needed it for, it didn't work.

This is a great bowl. Hallie enjoys eating out of it and it really has slowed her eating down. She takes time to chew and swallow in between bites. Her tail is wagging the whole time so I think she is having fun finding the food in all the crevices. I bought the smaller 2 cup version because she only gets a cup each meal so I did not purchase the larger 4 cup bowl and it seems to be working fine.

I loved how this bowl slowed my dogs feeding time down without frustrating him. He used to eat so fast that he would immediately make coughing noises after eating then start to look for more food as though his body hadn’t noticed that he’d eaten. Not to mention the messes he’d make and the gas after eating. With this bowl, he has a healthier eating pace, enjoys eating, is less gassy, and doesn’t look for more food after eating (no, we haven’t changed the measured amount of food given at any meal time). He seems to enjoy it and is developing healthier eating habits :)

I have a 60 lb black Labrador. Like most labs, she is a hog and thinks she is starving when it was time for food. She would then scarf her food and consequently, throw it back up in whole chunks. This bowl forces her to slow down and get the food out of the little grooves. I think my only complaint is how big it is, but I suppose it needs to be that big to hold the amount of food I give her. Since getting this bowl, she has not thrown up once.

I have a small teddy bear dog (shih tzu/bichon frise) who always devours his food. Seriously inhales it every time - and it led to him getting sick a lot. I was nervous to buy this because some people said dogs with shorter noses had trouble, but if your dog is really food motivated, this WORKS! He still ate every last bit of food and licked the bowl clean but it took him 2-3x as long as before. So happy with this purchase! We got the mini size which is still big (see photo for reference, he’s 9.5 pounds). Works with wet and dry food.

Bought the regular size for our 4 month old puppy. Because she’s smaller, she can’t really reach the food in the center of the bowl. Not a big deal though, we just let her get as much as she can, and then move the remaining food to a regular bowl. We’re hoping that as she gets bigger, she’ll grow into it. She loves it and it has really slowed down her eating!! Would definitely recommend!!

I have a puppy who has a serious eating problem. He was sawlling his food in less than 30 seconds (we timed him) and it was giving him stomach problems and even making him sick. This bowl makes sure that he has to eat slower, he cant flip it (despite trying) and the groves slow him down to about 7 minutes eating his meals. We've been using it for about 2 weeks and he hasnt thrown up since and his poops are solid and not runny anymore. Would highly recommend.

The “Fun Feeders” Bowls are great to slow the dogs feeding times down. Different types and sizes to fit your goal for your dogs. Biggest objection for me, the bowls should be weighted! Without some element to keep bowl in place, this is a very average product. A medium to larger dog might drive the bowl all over the floor. With other dogs eating as well simultaneously, this could be a problem in a fight, or could be a mess. Looking forward to a newer, weighted version by this or Any other company! So the bowl is good but needs improvement, thus the 3 stars. 06-11-20
