"Years ago, we purchased a medium one of these Brake Fast bowls for a small Great Dane that bolted her food so she could steal from our other 2 Great Danes. The bowl really slowed her down, so the boys could finish their food without her bothering them. We recently acquired another rescued Dane, to replace one that we lost. He too, ate his food so quickly that he didnt even chew it, so he could steal food from another. Then he would throw up all over the place. We had to get a large one for him. The bowl has slowed him down, makes him chew, and stops his finishing food at the finish line. The vomiting has also stopped. One of our males, who was a slow eater, did bloat, and is now fed with the brake fast bowl on an elevated feeder as part of his vet recommended regime to prevent bloat-even though we had him gastopexied. If your dog eats too fast, doesnt chew, or has bloated, I would definitely give this bowl a try."

"I have a 4 month old puppy who for some reason loves food! She would eat her food in a matter of seconds! She is not a breed that is prone to bloat, but the fastness of her eating still gave me concern. I got this bowl after looking in all the local pet stores, where all they had were ones with just something in the middle, with a 4 month old puppy it would not of slowed her down at all! The first time she used this bowl, it took were 5 minutes to eat all her food! My other dog actually finished before her! she has sped up a bit since the first time, but it still makes her take her time while eating! i love this bowl!"

"I used this product one time and it resulted in the bowl being pushed all around the floor. It also was almost tipped over. The bowl is not weighted enough for my dog. It created more mess than good so I won't use it again."

"I have one of these for my Golden and I just got another for my new little rescue dog. They really do slow down their eating. They are sturdy, and wash well in the dishwasher. The only suggestion I have would be that they would put a rubber ring around the bottom so my dogs couldn't push them around on the floor. Otherwise, this is a great product!"

"I bought two of the medium bowls for my female yellow lab and male black lab. They used to eat so fast and I wanted to find something to slow them down. This bowl has added at least 3 minutes to their dinner time. I love it. The only down side is the bowl does move around but if you place it on a mat it helps."

"I purchased this bowl (the metal version) for our longhaired dachshund that is a puppy mill rescue. This bowl has helped him slow his eating greatly and still looks brand new. I also love that it is dishwasher safe and chew proof. My dobie is very intrigued by the pop ups and attempts to grab on to them regularly, which he can’t since its metal and slips right out from his teeth. My only complaint is that there is no gripping on the bottom and it slides everywhere across the floor at meal time. This was easily solved with a silicone/rubber place mat."

"This bowl has definately slowed my speed eating dog...He gets less food than the other two as it is, because he gets fat just looking at food, so in addition to that he used to be done before I even finished feedfing the other two...this bowl has easiely doubled the time it takes him to eat! I feed on mats, so there is no slipping that others have had an issue with."

"A have a Border Terrier who eats his food in 30 seconds flat. This bowl slows him down somewhat - maybe 60 seconds ;-) I didn't anticipate any better. However, I would recommend spending the extra and purchasing the metal bowl as the plastic ones are not durable. Mine has teeth marks all over it."

"This bowl really slowed my "gulpy" dog down. He used to eat all his food, then go after the two smaller dogs' food as well. Now, it takes him so long to finish, that the little dogs are also finished, and he burps less afterwards . I'ld like to have a bowl like this in "horsey size" for one of my horses that eats too fast."

"I bought the small bowl for my cat. It is so light that the bowl slides around as he was trying to eat. He did not enjoy getting his whiskers in between the dividers and was actually using his paw to scoop out the food and eat it off the floor."

"Bought this bowl for my border collie speed eater. It does help slow him down as he needs to eat around the raised parts and also chase the bowl across the floor. The product would be great if someone added rubber feet to stop it from sliding. I have to stick it in a corner for my dog to eat in one place."

"The jury is still out as to whether or not this bowl will help slow down the cat with the food bolting problem. Right now she is still small enough to eat fast, but will probably have to slow down as she gets bigger."

"We purchased this bowl for our rescue GSD who has a 2-3cm hole in the soft-pallet in the roof of his mouth and needed to slow down and actually chew his food so as not to aspirate it into his nasal cavity. This product did NOT work for him or accomplish our goals; HOWEVER that being said if your dog does not have a hole in the roof of his mouth, the product is well made and could probably work in a different scenario.
