Does the trick for our overly eager eater

Totally solved the problem for our god inhaling dog. She’s only 10 pounds so she gets frustrated with the final corners a bit of food gets into since her tongue is not as long as our 30 pounder using the same bowl. She gets frustrated and growls at it, hilarious, but at least is not at risk for bloat from eating too fast. Sturdy and cute red color as pictured. Happy w purchase.

Pros
  • Really slowed down my dogs eating food too fast.
Cons
  • The Wangstar Slow Pet Bowl is too expensive for what it offers

My dog hasn't thrown up in months

I have one of these for my 80lb 9 year old American Bulldog who scarfs food like he hasn't eaten since 1945. He would eat so fast that he would puke, then eat that 😧. It slows him down and he hasnt puked in months! I love the grips on the bottom that keep it from sliding around as he battles with it to get every last piece out. I just bought another for our puppy and it works great for him too!

Pros
  • Affordable
Cons
  • The Wangstar Slow Pet Bowl can take up lots of space, making it challenging to store

Great bowl to slow that dogs roll!

We had to purchase this because our Goldendoodle would literally eat her food in 33.3 seconds flat. This keeps her honest while she is eating. Its a simple bowl with a simple design to make her work for her dinner. It does the job and I would purchase this again.

Pros
  • Encourages pets to slow down and enjoy their meal
Cons
  • Some pets might find the shape of the bowl confusing or unappealing

Love this bowl best in my review

I bought this bowl for my standard poodle after her surgery her stomach twisted and she loves to gulp her food I love that it’s study I still have to split her meal up because she has mastered this slow feeding bowl

Pros
  • Portable design for travel
Cons
  • The bowl is too expensive compared to other brands on the market

I would recommend a bigger bowl if you need to feed 2 .

It holds 1.5 cups of dry dog food with a little bit of leftover space. I have to shake the bowl a bit to get the kibble to spread out evenly into the far reaches of the curves. Sometimes the dry food bounces out while I fill it which is the only reason I'm deducting 1 star. It has slowed our gulping dogs down from about 1 minute to 3-4 minutes for eating their 1.5 cups at meal time which is the desired result. We have 4 of them, and they are used for a 1 year old Aussie pup, another 3 year old…

Pros
  • Can be used indoors or outdoors
Cons
  • The Wangstar Slow Pet Bowl is not suitable for pets that like to play with their food

Does the job perfectly

My corgi used to finish her food in 30 seconds flat. Sometimes she would hurl it all back up 10 minutes later! Now after using this puzzle feeder it’s a little over 3 minutes. If I give her half of her food and then repeat after 5 minutes it’s even better. She’s calmer when she eats. Seems to be focused.

Pros
  • Made with pet-safe materials
Cons
  • The bowl might not work for pets that prefer to eat at elevated levels

Not great, but okay for cats

It's a bit too deep for my cats. They have to use their paws to dig the food out when it is down to about half full.It has helped with regurgitation.

Pros
  • Bowls & Dishes
Cons
  • The bowl is not made with safe, non-toxic materials, making it potentially harmful to pets

Helped slow our puppy down

This worked well to help slow our puppy down. At 20 pounds she was downing a bowl of food in 2 seconds. Then, she would throw it all up. This forced her to slow down and has eliminated the throw up issue. However, we have a larger dog (44 pounds), and she just picks it up and dumps it out. So, works best for smaller dogs.

Pros
  • An essential tool for pet owners
Cons
  • The design of the bowl might not be ergonomic for pets or pet owners

Didn't work for my cats! Very disappointed!

Don't buy, if it's for your cats, because they can't get to the food! Going to donate to an animal shelter so hopefully it will help a dog who has eating issues.

Pros
  • Can be used for both dogs and cats
Cons
  • The bowl can be messy and hard to clean up after use

Great for dogs but not for cats

I think this product should be marketed for big dogs. Cats and/or small dogs have a super difficult time getting the food I know its a slow feeder but . . . it was too much work for my cat he gave up and wined until we gave him food in his normal bowl lol

Pros
  • Dogs
Cons
  • The bowl might not be useful for pets with specific dietary requirements

Highly recommend - my new review

We love these slow feeders. They arrived in perfect condition. I run a dog sanctuary and about half of the dogs eat very fast because they were starved and underweight when we got them. Their brains are wired to eat very fast because they think they might not get fed again! These feeders slow them down and also make dinner time a fun activity. We’ve had some of these for over a year. They wash easily and we are very happy with this product.

Pros
  • 2 SIZE BOWL FOR DIFFERENT DOGS: Offer 2 size bowl for small and large dogs. 8.6''medium and 11.8''x-large dog bowl, please check it before you order
Cons
  • The bowl might not last long, leading to constant replacements, which increases the overall cost

Perfect for my puppy with a fire under her tail!

My puppy eats and drinks so fast like there is a fire under her tail! She gags and coughs because she eats too fast. . . in less than 30 seconds and you would never know there was ever food in her bowl! I bought this hoping to slow her down.to my surprise it does! Takes her about 15-20 mins to eat now. Love it!

Pros
  • NO-SLIP BOWL FOR PETS: The base of the Interactive Dog Fun Feeder has NON SLIP design, prevent your dog from sliding and moving around
Cons
  • The bowl cannot prevent aggressive eating behavior from pets, which can lead to choking

Mission Accomplished: Vacuu-Dog Now Eats At A Civilized Pace

My kibble-gulping dog has slowed WAY DOWN now that she is using this bowl. She used to inhale her food and then bother all the other dogs trying to steal their food. Now she is one of the last to finish. She seems to really enjoy chasing down the kibble in each area of the bowl. I was also worried that the bowl would be difficult to keep clean. It is so smooth and shiny, though, that it is VERY easy to clean. The rubber feet on the bowl provide enough grip that my dog doesn't push the bowl all…

Pros
  • Made with high-quality materials
Cons
  • The bowl may become damaged easily, leading to a shorter lifespan

I have four 🐕. They all love it and it slows down their eating. I bought it for two of the dogs but accidentally double ordered. I liked this so much, I kept both orders.

Pros
  • Helps improve pet digestion
Cons
  • The Wangstar Slow Pet Bowl might not work well if you have more than one pet with different dietary needs

Slowed our fast eater waaaaay down!

indeed I was skeptical but this dish took our mixed breed Aussie from a 1 minute full bowl swallow to an 11 minute waltz with his food. At one point I thought he might give up, he was eyeing his sisters easier chow.but he kept going until every last bit was gone. We used kibble. I can't imagine this would be good for soft foods but idk. If your dog isn't highly motivated by food I suppose this could be a turn off. But for his it worked perfectly! Thank you!

Pros
  • Eliminates the need for additional feeders
Cons
  • The Wangstar Slow Pet Bowl is not ideal for outdoor use or camping

Did what it said best in my review

it's a little tricky to put the food in the bowl - you obviously can't just dump the food in it, but spread it around into all the nooks and such. However, it has slowed my doggo's eating.normally I'd drop her food in her bowl walk to the other room drop her sister's food in her bowl and walk back and she'd be done. Then she would be burping and gagging afterwards. She was NOT a fan of the bowl at first, but now she tackles it with single minded determination to finish her food.she's faster…

Pros
  • Improves overall health
Cons
  • The Wangstar Slow Pet Bowl might not work well with semi-moist or soft foods

Unconventional Use - Good Quality Item

I ordered this because my dog wouldn't eat from her regular bowl.she would eat kibble off the floor, or in her kennel. ?!? I thought it would make it interesting for her, especially while we were having dinner.and it worked!She wasn't one of the dogs who scarfs her food down; but this definitely slows her down immensely. She really seems to like it.It is good quality plastic, but I just rinse it out , don't put it in dishwasher. Not that you couldn't, I just don't think it is necessary and will

Pros
  • Helps keep the feeding area clean
Cons
  • The bowl could be too shallow for some pets, leading to spillage and mess

Great bowl but comes with potential choking hazzard

Great bowl, holds a lot of food and very sturdy. I am concerned about the rubber "feet" on the bottom of the bowl that's supposed to keep it from sliding. The rubber doesn't go around the whole bowl like the name brand bowls. There are 5 little pieces that come out of their holes very easily. I'm afraid one of my chi's may get a hold of one and eat it or get caught in their throat. I'm just going to take them out and throw them away since I put the bowl on a mat anyways. Great bowl for a great…

Pros
  • Can be used with both wet and dry food
Cons
  • Some pets might not like the color or design of the bowl, leading to a lack of use

Gassy Boxer no longer sickens human parents

Update:Product is still holding up every well. I will say our boxer has turned into a "little” pig while eating now so be prepared for some super snorts and grunts as they try and get every morsel. He tires himself out eating from this bowl and sometimes has to take a short break before going back at it. The inner curves should always be checked before feeding bc sometimes old food gets stuck in there and gets gross and moldy if you don’t check it daily.Original:Ordered for our boxer who eats…

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • The Wangstar Slow Pet Bowl is not useful for feeding pets canned wet food

NOT SAFE FOR ANIMALS

Let me start off by saying I purchased this for an eight month old Great Pyrenees puppy who loves food almost more than us. Almost. He can eat his 3 cups of food which is floating in water in under a minute. These pretty little bowls were just what we needed. It did slow him down a bit. It took him 3 minutes, with no water, to finish his meal. That doesn’t seem like much of an improvement but I will take what I can get. One set back is that 3 cups of food does not fit in the bowl. That left me…

Pros
  • Suitable for all ages of pets
Cons
  • It might be challenging to use the Wangstar Slow Pet Bowl with automatic dispensers or feeders
