Outward Hound Fun Feeder Slo Bowl, Large Slow Feeder Dog Bowl, 4 Cups, Purple

Excellent quality. Very sturdy, which is necessary for my rambunctious puppy. This slow feeder works nice and does what it needs to for a more relaxed eating time. Otherwise it is just a gulping of food time. This works great and is a nice change from the puzzle feeder we use. I recommend these for dogs that need to be slowed down when they eat. Great mental stimulation for them too!

I absolutely love my slow feeding dog bowl purchase! It has made such a difference in my dog’s eating habits—he no longer gulps down his food and now eats at a much healthier pace. The design is perfect for slowing him down without frustrating him. It’s also incredibly convenient since it’s dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze. I’ve had it for over a year now, and it’s held up perfectly with no signs of wear. Durable, effective, and easy to clean—this bowl has been a total game changer!

Very pleased! This slows down my 35lb puggle/terrier mix from 5 minutes of gobbling to 10 minutes of slow effective eating! His vomiting up kibble after meal time has been reduced significantly. I meant to order a medium and I ordered a large. It's huge! But still works very well for my dog. It seems durable and easy to clean. It really works!

I ordered thos bowl online because my ceramic one broke and needed a quick replacement. I like the weight of this bowl. Its not very heavy and easy to pick up and move. It does not slide across the floor when my dog is eating from it. I like how she really takes her time eating. I was concerned for how fast she was eating and decided to get a slow feeder to slow her down. Its able to hold up to 4 cups of food. We don't ever feed her that much so there is plenty of room.

Update on purple flower (LG):My dog was too spastic when eating from the blue puzzle slow feeder. It causes me grief. So I bought the "slowest" one, the purple flower.At first, she took more time and was calmer with it, taking 13-5 minutes to clear the bowl as she was trying to figure out how/where to access the food.After a couple of weeks, she can completely clear the bowl in 8-10 minutes but most of it gone within 4-5 minutes. The nice thing is her droopy ears don't dangle in the food as much since the purple flower is more shallow. It's also a hint wider. So that helps keep her ears from smelling like watered down dog food. And it's a color and shape I like.They both hold her 1.5 cups of kibble plus 16 oz of water, no problem. Just that the purple one is a little more easily tipped when I carry it to her dinner tray.I think that each of these slow feeder bowls should help slow down many dogs. Just find the one you like.Original review re blue puzzle (LG):Thank you Outward Hound for creating another intelligent dog product and for preserving my sanity. My hound doesn't drink enough unless I add water to her food. This causes her to be very enthusiastic about eating.Left alone with a large Durapet bowl, 1.5 cups of kibble/freeze dried food, some canned food, pumpkin puree, and 20-24 oz water, it's gone in 3 minutes. Too stressful for me due to risk of vomiting or bloat or stomach flip.If I have to micromanage her with the open bowl, it's stressful for both of us and she inhales a lot of air = burping and some flatulence. No good.Feed her with this blue puzzle feeder (LG 4 cup size) and she takes 1-3 minutes to finish the liquid, and 10 minutes more to consume most of the food. Total time is about 15 minutes for her to get all of the food cobsumed. I ask her to pause a few times and stretch out mealtime a little longer.I just returned the orange and teal ones without using them since this one looked best for us upon arrival and it is all we need. She's a 55# Rhodesian Ridgeback and she can just fit her jaw in there some. Perfect her her size of dog. For smaller dogs, I'd consider the other ones or the smaller ones. And I ordered a couple of extras just in case. She doesn't yet chew or bite the bowl (she's a gentle omega dog) but when you find something that works well, you're dependent upon it, and it's on prime days big deal for under $10, wise buys extra!).This bowl holds 4 cups wet or dry as advertised on the "box". For my girl, she gets nearly 2 cups wet and dry mixed plus up to 24 ounces of water and there is some room to spare.My only complaint is that it shifts around on the silicon feeding mat I use. So to prevent her from stepping in the slop from her water lapping, I need to micromanage her. Thus 4 stars. But it's otherwise an absolutely fantastic tool that we couldn't live without. I strongly recommend!

Got this so the puppy wouldn't eat as fast. First time using took a long time and after a couple of days faster at eating but slower than a traditional bowl. Because the puppy is eating slower helped to elimate the gas from eating too quickly. It holds a nice amount of food. Washes easily in top rack of dishwasher. Design and sturdiness is great. Highly recommended

I have an 90lb chocolate lab. This girl of ours eats soooo fast and has the worst gas. Because of this bowl, she eats slower, and is less bloated than with a standard bowl! I have washed it numerous times with dawn dish soap and air dried it. It has help up perfectly with no issues!

I got this bowl for my husky because they’re notorious for gulping down food. He was recently throwing up his food because he would eat so fast. We used this bowl and it slowed him down a lot! If you have a dog that scarfs down their food, this bowl is for them! It’s big so it gives a lot of room for the food to be spread around! Highly recommend!
