Dog Slow Feeders
Slow feeders or interactive feeders slow down the speed at which dogs consume their food. They can help prevent speedy eaters from vomiting or choking at mealtimes. If your dog eats very quickly and then gets gassy or bloated, then a dog slow feeder can help improve their health and comfort.

How do I know if I should switch to a slow feeder ? My dogs eat mildly fast ever since I switched over to a new dog food
Are there specific purposes for a slow feed bowl other than to slow down a dogs eating? Does it help them digest their food better or help them in any specific way? For example my dog eats rather fast, will a slow feed bowl provide any additional benefits besides just slowing down her eating?
I bought a slow feeder from the pet store to slow down my cat's eating but she is barely eating and she will walk away from the dish. I don't know what to do if I go back to feeding her like I was she will gorge on her food and then throw it up. How can I get her to start eating more from the slow feeder?
I adopted a very overweight dog. I am working on weight management and she has lost some weight but I'm concerned as she gobbles her food down literally in a minute. I just bought the puzzle bowl but she can only reach one morsel at a time using her tongue as she is a big dog. This doesn't seem right either but I don't know. It definitely slowed her eating. Advice please.
What is the best feeding mechanism to put the dog's meal for 15-30 min then take it or leave it all the day for the dog to eat as she want?
Midnight just had his yearly check up and everything was good. I have noticed that he eats real fast and then throws up his food. So we got him a slow feeder bowl. It helped a little but once in a while he still eats too fast and throws it all up. What else can i do to help him slow down?
Our 7 month old puppy used to scarf her meals so fast, so we got a slow-feeder bowl. The last week or so, she has turned into a grazer and only eats a bite, then comes to find us in the house, hangs out a bit, goes for another bite, comes to find us, etc. We've tried standing in the kitchen while she eats, but it doesn't seem to help. Is this just growing up and her eating style has changed, is it the teenage years and she's testing us, or is she just bored of her food? Thank you in advance!
My puppy loves to run while eating. Sometimes he pauses and coughs because he’s being too energetic. I bought him a slow feeding bowl but he just gets aggrevated and tosses it or doesn’t eat at all. How can I get him to either adjust to his new bowl or eat calmly?
I have a 6 month old female German Shepard mix, she doesn't use her tongue at all. Not to drink, eat or to give kisses. She has never stuck it out of her mouth. Well she eats really fast and I don't want her to get bloat. But she won't eat out of the slow feeding bowls because she won't stick her tongue out her mouth. I've tried the big rock in the bowl she still scarfes her food down, what can I do?
I have a 4 month old boston terrier/border collie mix puppy that always acts like hes hungary and when I feed him his meal he will eat his food whole. He is up to date on his puppy shots and will sit and wait until I put the food down. But will down his food in less than 30 seconds what can I do to help him slow down and chew his food?
My puppy swallows her food whole, it is a smaller kibble. We were soaking it in water until a few days ago, but she swallows it whole either way. We got a slow feeder bowl to try and slow her down and hopefully encourage her to chew at some point. Is it bad that she is not chewing her food? I thought about changing to a larger kibble, but she is small and I don’t want her to choke/don’t want to mess up her digestion and bowel movements
Why does my dog not chew his food? We have the special bowl that slows him down, but still throws up whole meals every now and then. Great quality food... no reason for why he gets sick. Should we switch to wet food?
