Dogit Go-Slow Anti-Gulp Dog Bowl, Black, Large, 1.2 Litre

Product Information

With this in mind, we decided that the time taken to eat a meal should be the number-one ranking factor. When bloat strikes, your dog’s stomach twists or swells, which in turn can cut off the blood supply to vital organs. In severe cases, bloat is deadly. Even though this feeder is on the larger size, the Neater Slow Feeder could be used by dogs of any size. Best of all, its unique egg-crate design slowed down all types of dogs during feeding – even flat-faced dogs! We bought the large size for our dogs to test. Measuring 19 centimetres in diameter and 7 centimetres in depth, the Super Design Gobble-Stop Slow Feeder bowl has three raised grooves to slow down eating. This design is by far the least complicated which may be better for the dogs who get frustrated with too intricate a design. Let’s see if this is the case. Also answers to Liv.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the most compelling arguments for using a slow-feed bowl… 1. Are you worried about bloat? Well, you should be! Now, this isn’t to say we are opposed to ceramic slow-feed bowls. If a better performing ceramic slow feeder is released in the future, I’ll declare it the winner of this category. The Dogit Go Slow Bowl comes in a single design, available in four different sizes ranging from extra small to large.

A slow feeder for dogs prevents your pets from vomiting after eating, this is because it helps them eat their food slower without gulping. Gulping food causes all sorts of issues, including digestion problems, gas, regurgitating food and even choking. For many breeds and many greedy pups, a dog slow feeder shows instant improvements in their health. Now that we had our pile of slow-feeder dog bowls, it was time to compare them to each other, to determine which was truly the best. While this slowed down smaller testers, larger breeds were able to remove the ball from the bowl – either by accident or on purpose.

The non-skid silicone base did exactly what it claimed, preventing our dogs from pushing their bowl across the floor. You see, she was the proud owner of a Pekingese. It so happened that it was a Pekingese who could not figure out any puzzle feeder she was given. She knows the food goes in. She can smell it. She wants it. But she could never figure out how to reach it. It is worth mentioning that no bowl could be called spill-proof when used on grass. Because grass has a certain amount of give, larger dogs could squeeze a paw or nose under the bowl and flip it.

As dog owners, we have all known a pooch that eats far too fast, and probably has eyes bigger than their belly! Introducing the smart dog bowl to slow down eating; a simple and effective solution to prevent the health issues caused by gulping down dinner! Cooper is a tad overweight and dangerously friendly toward anyone with food. He likes stealing frying pans off the stove and getting into cars with people he doesn’t know. 7. Olivia Well, neither would we. That’s why we decided to test how much time each slow-feed bowl added to feeding time.

This is important to note because a slow feeder that works well for a large dog might not challenge a dog with a small mouth. Throw flat-faced dogs into the mix, and it’s almost impossible that a single slow-feed bowl could work best for everyone.

And to do that, we first needed food. We used two different sized kibbles to test the effectiveness of each slow-feeder.

I must stress that these experiences were uncommon. Almost everyone we spoke to had universal praise for slow-feed bowls. Maybe it was just my muffin pans, but all dogs – large and small – were able to tip and spill their food when they placed a foot on the edge of the pan.All did not end well for the Smarter Paws Slow Feeding bowl but Nero is one of a kind so don’t let this put you off the bowl. It isn’t as sturdy as some of the others our dogs tested, but this is reflected in the price. For a starter slow feeder and for dogs who enjoy a challenge at the same time, this bowl would be a good one to start with. The Smarter Paws Slow Feeding bowl is light weight and the plastic is quite thin. The maze design is more complicated than some of the others our dogs reviewed. With a combination of longer grooves and oval ones creating numerous compartments, the dog has to work out how to access the food. The aim of the bowl is achieved. Without a doubt dogs take much longer to eat and for those who don’t get frustrated by more complex designs the Smarter Paws bowl is effective.
