I have one dog who inhales food -- blink and it's gone. I just got this bowl (at Fuzzy Paws Pet Villa). It works. He has to take time to eat and not empty the bowl in 2 seconds flat. Now if I could make him chew. We've not had bloat issues with this terrier, but gas is terrible. Whole Dog Journal says it usually too fast eating. This bowl stops that problem, hopefully better digestion. It is dishwasher safe, but I do wish it wasn't plastic. It seems to be a good grade, but I love my scrubable stainless steel bowls. Guess I can't have it all.

Pros: Stops dog from inhaling food

Cons: Not sure the plastic will hold up

Sometimes a dog comes into the shelter that's very emaciated. Wouldn't use this for them, but others who gobble to fast could definitely learn a lesson from this bowl.

Pros: none

Cons: none

JT ate his food so quickly that his bowl would be empty before I returned to the kitchen. The brake-fast tm bowl has stopped that by slowing him down to the point that he knows what he's eating and getting the most nutrition from it possible, he is no longer inhaling as much air as food like before, which has lessened the possibility of bloat and not inconsequentilly, stopped some his earth-shaking burps. The cost is reasonable, it is available in several sizes and I highly recommend it for rapid eaters of all sizes.

Pros: really slows down his eating; sliding movement slows it even more as he follows it around the floor

Cons: none

I bought one for my dog, Dusty. He eats like he hasn't eaten his entire life and may never eat again. With the Brake-Fast bowl, it now takes him as long as all my other dogs to eat.

The other dogs are glad, too, since he no longer vacuums up his food, then hovers over them hoping for leftovers.

I now stock the Brake-Fast bowls in my store, Puparazzi! Pet Bow-tique.

Pros: Very worthwhile product

Cons: none I can find

With multiple dogs and some food protective. This slows them down when inhaling their food. They have to concentrate on their own dish.

Pros: stops the gulping

Cons: none
