If your dog finishes dinner in ten seconds and brings it back up in twelve, this is the fix.
A maze-bottomed bowl that turns a swallowed meal into a five-minute job.
Dogs that eat too fast swallow air along with the food. That is what causes the gagging, the bloated stomach and the pile on the carpet a few minutes later. Smaller portions do not help much, because the problem is the speed rather than the amount.
This bowl deals with the speed directly. The raised grooves in the base mean your dog has to work the food out of the channels instead of taking it in one go, which paces them without you standing over the bowl. Most dogs slow from seconds to several minutes.
The licking and nosing it takes to clear the maze is also calming in its own right, which is why these bowls get recommended for dogs that are restless around food or wound up in general. Works with dry food, wet food, treats or something spread into the grooves to make it last longer.
Maze-grooved base paces fast eaters and cuts down on gulped air
The licking motion is naturally settling for restless or anxious dogs
Rounded non-slip base grips the floor instead of sliding across the kitchen
Food-grade, non-toxic ABS
Dishwasher safe, or rinse under warm water
Works with dry food, wet food, treats or spreads
Sizing, honestly:
At 16 x 15.6cm this is a small bowl. It suits puppies, small breeds and medium dogs on controlled portions. A large breed on a full meal will empty it and want more, so it is not the right bowl for a labrador's dinner.
How to use:
Put the usual meal into the grooves rather than piling it in the middle
Set it down on a hard floor, where the non-slip base can grip
Let your dog work it out, and expect the first meal or two to take longer than it will later
Rinse or put it through the dishwasher after wet food
