Kind of works by Secrea Natame (Indiana, USA)  2 Stars
November 15, 2009
I got this for my border collie, who can inhale his meal in about three seconds flat from a regular bowl. This bowl slowed him down for a couple meals, but he quickly figured out some sort of pattern for eating from this bowl, and now he eats from it almost as fast as a regular bowl. He still gulps his food in huge mouthfuls, not even chewing most of the time. I would not buy another one. This was one of the first "eat slow" bowls out there (and the only choice at the time I bought it), but now there are more to choose from and most of them look like they would be more effective than the Brake Fast bowl. I'm rather disappointed I wasted the money on it.

Works Prefectly! by C. Ford  5 Stars
November 04, 2009
We have a Bernese Mountain Dog who, at around four months began literally inhaling her food. I started looking for ways to slow down her eating and found this - it's been perfect.
We free-feed but the dog usually eats after her walks each morning and evening and the bowl sits on a ceramic tile floor with no mat or other anti-skid surface to hold it in place. The first time I set this down it threw the dog for a bit of a loop but she quickly became used to the design and eats much more slowly now - she has less gas, takes more pauses as she eats, and we've had no problems with the bowl sliding around all over the tiled floor. The plastic itself isn't the sturdiest but our dog hasn't shown any interest in chewing on it (which would be destructive) and if she did I'd probably just give her a bone or put the bowl out of her reach.
This is a classic example of a simple solution to a common problem and it works very well!

A very well-designed bowl for a fast-eater! by hasselaar (Belgie) 5 Stars
October 20, 2009
One of my dogs literally inhales her food and I was worried that she would come to some serious harm as a result of her food being partially inhaled, It was pretty scary, she would eat really fast and then stand there choking and trembling for long periods of time, We tried everything with her, but nothing changed her eating pattern, it was just her nature.
I ordered one of these bowls for her and it was a revelation! From the first moment, she was forced to completely change her eating speed, she slowed way down and did not cough and choke anymore. The bowl is light and the more intense she becomes about eating,the more the bowl slides around on the floor..... thus slowing her down considerably!
This bowl has probably saved her life, I recommend this to one and all. The bowl is well-constructed,the whole point of it being made from plastic is that the bowl will slide around on the floor. The sliding prohibits the dog from gulping down large quantities of food in one bite. I highly recommend this bowl for use with pets that eat much too quickly.

Our gobbler was the last dog to finish eating! by B. Hamilton (Anderson Indiana, USA) 5 Stars
October 10, 2009
A year ago, we took in a dog who had been treated very poorly. She was left outside on a chain and shared a food bowl with another dog. Needless to say, she learned that the only way to get food was to eat as fast as possible. Even after we took her in, her survival instincts made her practically inhale her food, often leading to choking or, shall we say, an occasional encore of dinner. We'd checked around at various kinds of bowls that might force her to eat more slowly and chose this one, which arrived today. And sure enough, even though she has always finished in about half the time of our other two dogs, tonight she was the last one done. This bowl might be an issue for a short-snouted dog, but for our Golden, it was perfect.
I, too, wish this bowl was made of sturdier material, but it's not a problem for us to simply pick up the bowl after she finishes and put it out of her reach to prevent chewing.

No more choking by Renee Kyc (MO) 5 Stars
August 31, 2009
This bowl has stopped my beagle from eating his food like it was going to disappear in two seconds. He used to choke during his eating and when he was done drink a ton of water.....Now he eats like he should and no more choking.

| Contech DrinkBetter Medium Bowl, Blue
by Contech
The Drink Better¿ pet bowl encourages dogs to drink at a slower, healthier rate, and make less mess while they¿re at it. Many dogs instinctively drink too fast. Besides making a wet mess, this habit can contribute to digestive problems such as indigestion and vomiting, and light-haired dogs may experience staining of the muzzle (from chlorinated water). The Drink Better bowl uses a floating obstacle to control the flow of water, encouraging dogs to drink slower and take only as much as they...
