stop my dog inhaling food

[VeronicaA]

The brake fast bowl was the best investment I made!

Brake Fast worked well for Max. He grew out of the phase quickly and now takes his time to eat.
Please tell me, whoever knows, what the problem is with plastic bowls? (other than it becomes a chew toy). I am curious. Thanks!

I use one of those treat dispensers that the dog has to roll around for the food to come out, except I put in kibble instead of treats. Sometimes it takes him like half an hour to eat it all! And it also stimulates his mind and keeps him occupied for a while.

Mickey the husky I have hooooooooovers food. I use a LARGE baking pan now, and he has to sit and wait before I put the measured amount of food in the pan.

Unfortunately, the brake fast bowl didn't slow our dog one bit! Food gone in under 30 seconds or so. I feed 2 smaller meals per day and hold my breath, hoping she doesn't bloat. It is plastic, no problems with her chewing it, even if we accidentially leave it in her kennel. May try the muffin tin or treat dispenser idea.

One problem with plastic is that it is harder to clean - it gets scratched and can harbor bacteria.

My foster literally inhales his food! I just clean the floor of his crate before each meal and spread his food out all over the floor of the crate. Makes for a great training opportunity as well, since he has to sit and stay a few feet away while I dump it and spread it around. It really slows him down.

not if you learn to wash dishes correctly....

i do like the bunt/muffin/rolling toy idea's, im going to keep them in mind... i suppose the muffin dish you could put different type of food in each
