Anyone ever try one of these to help with a fast eater?

Premier Busy Buddy Tug-a-Jug Treat Dispensing Dog Toy.

I bought one today, it will get here in a few days, hoping it will slow her down. I have a toy that dispenses treats, and she likes playing with that.
I took someone else's advice on here to spread her food on the floor, but that is so messy, and I didn't like the reviews on the bowls with the partitions in them.

I haven't tried that, but I did buy this for my foster. He was gulping down his food and had horrible gas as a result. Plus I was concerned about bloat! This has helped TREMENDOUSLY!!

I've always added her rubber balls to the bowl when my dog was a puppy. Not only did she have fun eating, she ate a lot slower. Now she will go and get her favorite ball and her toys with squeekers in them and put them in the bowl on her own. LOL

This is how she eats all the time now.

This is the bowl I was considering, but it had real bad reviews, most saying that the dogs got sores from the partitions? I will try both.

Haven't tried those bowls...but with our siamese cat who is known to gorge herself, we added a golf ball to her dish so she had to eat around it and it slowed her down. I've heard that laying their food out on like a cookie pan will help.

Ordered one of these too, she will slow down eventually, I am sure.

The dog didn't take the balls out of the dish? Harley would!

Nope....she would play with the ball in her bowl. LOL She won't eat her food unless she has at least her ball in there with the food. Like I said, she prefers the ball plus a couple of her toys too. Silly dog! LOL

Mine gulps her food and now I feed her in a muffin tin. Not sure how much it slows her, but like it better than the bowl with the plastic spikes. It didn't slow her and eventually got rough around the edges and scratched her face. Someone on here mentioned the tin do that's what we're trying for now.
