We LOVE this bowl, and so does our coonhound
(Note added 8-2011 - this bowl is SUPPOSED to slide around and not stay put - folks apparently didn't read the company's info sheet). 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 active culture yogurt, canned pumpkin or applesauce with no added 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...
Great idea, but not so great material
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...
Brake Fast Dog Food Bowl Works!
I recently purchased four Brake Fast Bowls, three for my dogs (two Rottweiler /Lab crosses and a Great Dane) and one for my foster dog, a Doberman. One of my Rotties tried to tip the dish, but the sloped sides prevented that. He tried to pick it up and dump it, but failed there as well. The other three tried eating as fast as before, but really did have to slow down. My other Rottie mix is now approaching his dish slower (before he would dive into it and send the kibble flying). My only complaint is that the dishes are plastic and there are teeth marks on the posts. I would definately purchase these again in heavy duty stainless steel. I hope the manufacturer reads this!
