Hello Do anyone use these? I saw it on a programme and thought it was a good idea but not sure? Just wanted some opinions really. Hollie has now gone to 3 meals a day (coping fine at the minute) but wanted her to take her time with each meal. X
Re: Slow feeder Edsel is currently rolling his Kibble Nibble around the family room having breakfast. While he can get it open and get to all the food at once, he usually doesn't . Makes mealtime last about 15-20 minutes rather than seconds.
Re: Slow feeder I bought one but Chepi thought it took too long to get her kibble out so she merely turned it upside down and emptied the good onto the floor!

Re: Slow feeder We got Buster one last month, he has gone to hoovering up his food in less than a minute to taking 20 mins to eat, it's nice to be able to sit and have a cup of tea before he's finished.
Re: Slow feeder Hmm, I may look into getting Bouncer one of those. He eats his food in less than a minute & for a little dog that is quick. So how do they work then?
Re: Slow feeder I have ordered one because friends tell me the are great. I do have a Kong Wobbler but it makes such a racket!!! This is a bowl with a "maze" and will see how it works. Right now Cooper inhales his food in 10 seconds.....can't be good for his tummy! Or maybe we are just worriers and inhaling is not a problem!

[/quote] I don't think it's ideal : but so many of them seem to do it Dexter eats in a blink .....I always make sure he's fed when he's relaxed after excercise to limit the chances of bloat which could be a real risk for dogs that chomp down their meal so fast x
Re: Slow feeder [quote author=Debs link=topic=7878.msg110640#msg110640 date=1411053763] I've found that adding water to the kibble, not soaking, really slows Maisie down. [/quote] Makes no difference to the lil eating machine I have.
Re: Slow feeder I've ordered a green one from Amazon........it's coming tomorrow so I will let you all know. Hubby has banned me from pets at home!!!! There is sooooo many good things to buy and I need them all!!!!!!!!! ;D

Dinner now lasts more than 3 seconds.
