Outward Hound Non-Skid Plastic Slow Feeder Interactive Dog Bowl

I have a 3 month old black lab and whenever I feed him in a normal bowl he completely inhales his food, he doesn’t even chew it. I bought the 4 cup blue bowl because I wasn’t sure if the 2 cup would be too small so I figured I’d get the bigger one. I love it!! Instead of eating in like 5 seconds flat, it now takes him probably 20-30 minutes to completely eat all his food. He actually spins around the entire bowl it’s kind of entertaining to watch him. The bowl does move. I put the bowl in the middle of the floor so he can walk around it and have space if he does move it, which he does. It hasn’t scratched the floor but I imagine it would scratch a wood floor.. I love the bowl!! 10/10 recommend I have a 3 month old black lab and whenever I feed him in a normal bowl he completely inhales his food, he doesn’t even chew it.

The bowl definitely slowed down my Bernedoodle pup from inhaling his food. Used to be gone in under 40 seconds, now takes close to 4 minutes. So that part is good, but the problem arises when there is about 1/3 cup food left...he can’t get at it. It’s too low in the bowl, and the spaces a tad too narrow. So I take what’s left and dump it into his regular food bowl. If the spaces were a bit wider and the bowl a tad more shallow I think it would be perfect.

I purchased this for my 4 month old shih tzu. He was eating his dry food so fast, it was causing him to vomit his food within minutes after eating. This was suggested to me by our local vet and we still use it everyday, but it's hard for my little one to reach down in the grooves due to his small mouth and nose. I keep it full so he does slow down somewhat but hopefully it'll work much better when he gets a little older and bigger.

I had a different slow feeder that didn't really slow my dog down. I was a bit skeptical to try this one because the crevices are a bit small. They're just small enough to make him work for it; this one cut his meal time from 1-2 minutes to around 6 or 7. He got a bit frustrated the first time and after a while flipped it (for a single piece of kibble). After that first time, though, he hasn't done it. The only thing is, the bowl is supposed to be a non-skid, but it does move around a bit. Also, I feed my dog only 1/2 a cup of a larger sized kibble and that seems to fill the entire bowl even though it says it should hold 2 cups. *My dog is a 40 pound Flat Coated Retriever mix in case I had a different slow feeder that didn't really slow my dog down.

I have several feeders of this brand; this design seems to be the best at slowing down my crew. I especially like that you can put feed in the center part and it's not very challenging. Then, the concentric circles become more difficult (narrower) the further away from center they are. So, kind of customizable according to how fast or slow your dog eats from it. I have lots of interactive food dispensers, but this is my go-to for their dinners, where I don't feel like wrestling with loading the other types. This is a great product!

Our adult male began having eating issues when we got a new puppy. Anxious thinking the little one was going to steal his food so would eat it down as fast as he could to the point he would dry heave. This bowl has put him right back to where he needed to be. Great product.

This feeder does exactly what it claims! I have a 102 lb. German Shepherd that would inhale four cups of food in a couple of minutes. Now, it takes him about 10 minutes to eat. He no longer throws food back up, or chokes while eating. I have tried the stainless steel round options but they did not help. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a dog that eats way too fast.

Bailey is a pitbull puppy. He normally takes about 30secs - 1min in a normal bowl to scarf down his 1.5 cups of food per meal. He has been using a different slow feeder since he was about 10 weeks old (now 21 weeks). He had that one mastered to 3 minutes. When I gave him this one, it took him about 10 minutes for the first week, 8 minutes the second week, and now it takes him 5 minutes. It doesn't appear easy to flip over. Feels well made, and has a decent weight. He does slide it around a little, but not like other bowls I've tried. I was iffy on spending so much on a bowl, but I'm glad I did. I plan on buying more in different designs. I think it is a good idea to change up the pattern so the Bailey is a pitbull puppy.

My Pit Gobbles food down as fast as he possibly can, leaving him with a lot of bloating and gas. This Bowl has helped tremendously! The Bowl slows him down and gas is no longer and issue. And we can fit the same large portions he was eating. Actually he eats a little less because he has time to get full.

My puppy used to inhale his meals and then burp excessively due to his bad table manners. This bowl forces him to take it slow and dine like a gentleman. He enjoys his meals much more now that he can actually eat slow enough to taste it.
