2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, but not so great material, August 15, 2007

By	Z. Au "NYRZ" (NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ive been looking for this type of product for a while, and it actually amazes me that no one else has thought of it.. then I realize why

the problem with this, is that each dog is obviously different. The length of the nose and shape of mouth, makes a big difference.

I have 4 labs, 1 of them is a mastermind, and knows the tricks of the trade to get in there and eat fast, the other 2 still goes in circles trying to get it, the last just takes his dandy ol time anyways to begin with

It does work to some extent, but some dogs "learn". so I notice that my dogs at first ate slow, but now eat faster. Not as fast as they would in a normal bowl but still, theres only so much you can do I guess

Lastly, my biggest gripe is the material. Its like cheap plastic imo. My dogs bit their bowls, and the plastic gets damaged easily so my next question is, why didnt they make this with Metal ? or somethhing else more durable?

good luck, hope it works for you..

5.0 out of 5 stars We LOVE this bowl, and so does our coonhound, September 26, 2007

By	J. Helm (Juneau, AK USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This bowl has provided us and our coonhound many hours of entertainment. Our hound was nearly starving to death when we rescued him so he was voracious whenever food was presented to say the least. I feed real food, not just kibble and that gives me the opportunity to smear food all around the bowl and posts which prolongs the enjoyment. If you only feed kibble, try adding some quality yogurt or applesauce w/o sugar, and see what fun you and your dog can have. Putting the bowl on a smooth service adds to the fun because it gets pushed around. My hound went from about 30 seconds of eating his meal to about 4 to 5 minutes depending on what's in the bowl, and he absolutely loves it. I have to buy another now for the 2nd dog because he gets so bummed out that he finishes before the hound and has to watch him play with his bowl. I prefer plastic, but if anyone wants a metal bowl, send emails to the Brake Fast company and they will respond. Their service is excellent. My current dogs don't eat their bowls, but I had a husky who would chew on anything plastic so I know it wouldn't have worked for her, either.

3.0 out of 5 stars SORTA, February 8, 2008

By	M. Porter - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Our dog still gulps her food down without chewing. But did it slow her down? Yes. Did it change her eating style? No. So I guess the dish sorta works. It is made of pretty light plastic so our dog moves it all over the place trying to eat out of it. Maybe that's half the point. If your dog's a chewer, which our's is, don't leave it out.
Make it out of a little heavier plastic so it feels more solid.
Don't expect your dog to change it's eating style. They will still TRY to eat fast.
