You can also take a small regular food dish (not non-tip) and set it upside down inside the large regular dish. That way its still non tip.

well, I tried the "non-tip dog bowl ,flipped it over" idea. It was working great with Meika for about a week. Now she has figured out that she can use her nose to shovel the food into a pile and then scarf it down. At least she has stopped burping after meals now! LOL

Darn that smart dog!

Great idea!

I have heard of people using bundt (spelling?) pans as well as muffin/cupcake pans too.

We just used a filled can (usually whatever was in the panty that nobody liked!) and plopped it into the middle of the bowl.

This is what I've been doing with Luke's meals since he inhales his food. Every once in a while I'll use the bowl in its regular mode just to see if maybe he's used to eating slower. Nope, two seconds and the food is gone. I love inexpensive alternatives.

Like everyone said Wonderful idea, we had gotten the bowl ball, it didn't work worth a crap. We were trying to think of another idea but this is just awesome! Can't wait to try it out! Thanks!!

A girl I house sit for uses a muffin tin to feed her lab - lots of little sections the dog can eat at a time!
