Works! Totally recommended for overly fast eaters!

I had a puppy who would eat his food in 2 minutes, so to correct his fast eating, I bought this. He used to not chew his food and would just swallow, which is very bad for digestion. This bowl helped so much! At first it would take him almost half an hour to finish his food, but as he got more practice, he would usually finish around 10 minutes. The good thing is that he now chews his food! Now I switched him back to his normal standees steel bowl and he eats way slower than before! Thank you…

Pros
  • August 1, 2016
Cons
  • May not be as effective in weight control as advertised

Pretty deep for a smaller dog

Our Oscar is pretty much fully grown at 13 lbs., and has a tongue that gets into everything. I get him these types of bowls to stop him from devouring his food in seconds. I bought this one to keep at someone else's house for when they watch him. It does its job by slowing him down, but I was a little shocked at how deep it is. He manages, but I was surprised he was able to get everything out. If you pick this one, I would recommend medium dog or larger for that reason. I would not recommend…

Pros
  • wangstar
Cons
  • Some pets might be able to cheat the system and still eat quickly

Best dog-goned bowl!

I never thought my dog was a fast eater because she didn't always finish her food. When I saw the description of this bowl, I realized she was eating very fast, feeling full, then coming back much later to gobble up the rest. Every so often she would vomit - not food or foreign substances, just that impossible to remove yellow stain. I ordered this bowl in March and she loves it. It is like a food game for her and she finishes her food. It is now 2 full months since I began using this bowl and…

Pros
  • SWP056-BLUEm
Cons
  • Not dishwater safe

Perfect size, easy to clean and does the intended job well

perfect size for chow for my 60 lb dog that gets 1 cup of food in am and 1 cup in pm - dish could hold up to 4 cups easily tho. Pretty sturdy and the inclusion of the rubber stoppers on the bottom kept the dish in place on the kitchen floor through his rooting and traveling around the bowl to get all the pellets out. He has a shorter snout so was worried about the depth of the bowl & ridges before purchase, but no problems at all. It was a little bit easier to clean as well than originally…

Pros
  • Slow Feeders
Cons
  • Can be noisy when the pet is eating

We love this bowl best in my review

This bowl works REALLY WELL! Our 155lb St Bernard inhales his food faster than a Hoover vacuum. This bowl has slowed him down - what would normally take about 1-2 minutes to eat - now takes him about 6-7 minutes. His digestion is much better now and we don't have to worry that he will throw his food back up. The bowl has held up very well in the 6 months we've had it - it gets washed 2X per day by hand and at least once a week in the dishwasher. Highly recommend this if your dog is a scarfer!

Pros
  • My dog would eat so fast she'd throw up, now she keeps her food in her tummy!
Cons
  • Can still be chewed and damaged by aggressive chewers

Love how it works! in my review

My family rescued a beagle and found that everytime we feed him he would scarf it down like he would never eat again - then get sick and throw it up. I found this dog bowl and it works PERFECT for him! It holds enough food for at least a medium sized dog and slowed his eating time down by more than 2 minutes! So far, he hasn't thrown up once and I got the bowl about a month ago :) Love it!

Pros
  • Feeding & Watering Supplies
Cons
  • Can be difficult to clean thoroughly due to the maze design

It works! Great product

Our aging Labrador was starting to cough up food from eating it too quickly. I decided to try this bowl and it has solved the problem! The shape slows her down, probably 4-5x slower than normal. She enjoys the challenge.My only negative is that it wouldn’t fit her whole meal if we fed her once a day. She gets a total of 3 cups of food / day. Fortunately, we split it up to one cup for lunch and two cups for dinner. The max for this bowl is two cups of food (in kitchen measuring cups). Just an…

Pros
  • Reduces the likelihood of overeating and obesity
Cons
  • Some pets may find it frustrating and give up trying to eat

Wonderful dish in my review

This is great for our three cats. They've all had to slow way-y-y down when eating and I honestly think they are now having fun. They push it all around the floor but it has never tipped over. It's so funny to watch when two of them get on each side of the dish and pull it back and forth as they are ready to paw out the next piece of cat food. And since I've started using this and a different style of slow feeder, I haven't had a single throw-up anywhere - that's really nice!

Pros
  • Smart buy although my fur child hated it. Not easy to clean though!
Cons
  • Might not work for all types of dog breeds

Worked great for my cat!

My cat would eat way to fast and throw her food up whole.normally problems you see with a dog right? So I thought getting her this would help and she does great with it. She eats much slower and has to chew her food to digest it. And she has deformed paws (they look like mittens!) so if she can work her food out of it then I’m sure any cat could. The only problem is that it’s pretty deep so she can never manage to get all of the food up from the bottom, but it’s no biggie just to keep it…

Pros
  • Bowls & Dishes
Cons
  • Might not be as durable as advertised

Game Changer!: my feedback

I have a ten-pound cat and a seven-pound cat. One eats like he's starving and it's the last time I'm going to feed him. He ends up vomiting. The other, smaller cat is petite and eats slowly. Obvious, it's impossible to separate them when feeding. I have tried everything at every available pet store. Nothing worked until this. I wanted to make sure that my finicky eater didn't go hungry while my other cat also got to eat without hoarding all the food.This Wangstar Slow Pet Bowl Slow Feeder has…

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Bigger dogs may still be able to eat all their food quickly

I feel the bowl is reasonably priced and is of a good quality. We use it for a dog who tends to eat very quickly then becomes sick afterwards, this helped her slow down in eating with little interference from us. I highly recommend this product for anyone who has a pet who tends to eat too quickly. While we don't use it for a water bowl it could be easily used for a pet who also drinks too quickly.

Pros
  • Pet Supplies
Cons
  • May not work as well for pets with dental issues

This really works. More than 5min eating!

My God it's the best! I was incredulous because my new rescued dog eats like a little monster and is very intelligent! Well after taking less than a MINUTE to eat her food on a regular bowl, now it takes more than FIVE MINUTES. Three times she took the bowl to the living room hahahaha. I love this bowl!

Pros
  • B01JG54CYE
Cons
  • Might not be deep enough for all pets to effectively slow down eating

So far so good! in my review

Its working! Our lab cross rescue would scarf his food down and make himself vomit sometimes. He hasn't done that since we got this bowl! It just barely fits 2 cups of smallish kibble, so be aware if you feed more or have larger sized kibble bits.

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • Can be difficult to measure out portions due to the maze design

My vet talked about a puzzle feeder for those puppies .

Slow Feeder Bowl - Siensync(TM) Fun Feeder Interactive Bloat Stop Dog Bowl, Eco-friendly Durable Non Toxic Bamboo Fiber Slow Feed Dog Bowl, Blue My vet talked about a puzzle feeder for those puppies that eat a bowl of food in less to 30 seconds. This really does slow him down a bit. Now we will work on eating the food versus just swallow it.

Pros
  • Easy to assemble and disassemble
Cons
  • Some pets may not find the maze challenging enough to slow down eating

Great bowl, really reduced choking concerns and slowed down my pup!

My lab puppy would empty his food bowl in 2 seconds flat. I was worried about him choking, so I looked into some alternatives. This bowl is perfect. Now it takes him a solid 10 minutes to finish his meals and he has to slow down and think it through a bit. Totally worth it. I’ll be buying a second one soon enough as back up.

Pros
  • BPA-free and non-toxic materials
Cons
  • Can be difficult to add supplements or medication to food

Skeptics turned into Fans!

This dog food bowl is everything we were looking for. Prior to ordering, we had had our 50 pound Catahoula-Lab for six months. He had issues with eating too quickly from the start. To prevent this, we served his meals in four small portions - which can feel like a lot of time when you're in the middle of something!We had heard of puzzle feeders and slow feed bowls several times, but were honestly quite skeptical. Our dog is pretty smart, and I was afraid that he would learn how to eat his meal…

Pros
  • Can help your pet maintain a healthy weight throughout their life
Cons
  • Can be more difficult to use for elderly pets

Great slow feeder on my review.

Love this bowl. Dogs are eating a lot slower avoiding throwing up after eating too fast. Only thing is it moves a little much but I’m assuming it’s just my dogs eating from excitement.

Pros
  • Bowl is probably fine but our puppy’s tongue isn’t long enough to be able to get the food.
Cons
  • Availability might be limited depending on where you live

Slows eating time down!

This bowl has helped out my dog tremendously. I have a mini Australian Shepard that would completely devour her food as soon as we set it down. With this bowl, her meals have gone from lasting 2 minutes to around the 10-15 minute mark. The bowl itself is very good quality, and is pretty much the exact color shown. Though it isn't as deep as I would like, you can't have the bowl being too deep where the dog has to overexert his/her self to get the food out of the very bottom. Overall, very happy

Pros
  • Promotes healthy feeding practices
Cons
  • Can cause additional stress for pets who are already nervous eaters

Great to slow down "wolfers "

When we first got our rescue dog we immediately noticed that he wolfed his food down like he was afraid it could be a while before his next meal. We knew this couldn't be good for him so we got the slow feed dog bowl. It worked perfectly. Slowed him down. He had to poke and lick and work the food out. It's been 5 months since we got our "Jack" and just last week I started him on a big boy bowl. He has slowed down a lot and no longer seems to need this bowl, but should he start wolfing…

Pros
  • Provides a challenge for your pet, which can be mentally satisfying
Cons
  • Not suitable for pets who prefer grazing throughout the day
