Nine seconds. That is how long dinner lasts.
And then they look at you as though nothing has happened. A dog that eats that fast swallows a lot of air with it, and you are the one dealing with the consequences on the carpet an hour later.
This bowl has ridges moulded through it. The food sits in the channels between them, so instead of one enormous mouthful your dog has to work around the pattern and take small ones. The same dinner takes a few minutes instead of a few seconds.
What changes
They slow down. Which is the entire point, and it happens on day one without any training.
Less air goes down with it. Less gulping means a settled stomach afterwards.
It occupies them. A meal that takes effort is a small piece of mental work rather than an event that is over before you have sat down.
Straight talk
Some dogs are annoyed by this on the first night. That is the bowl working. Give it a few days before deciding.
Rinse it after wet food — anything left in the channels dries hard.
Not right for a dog with a very flat face who struggles to reach into narrow channels. If your pug or frenchie cannot get at the food comfortably, a shallower design suits them better.
