"My standard schnauzer was gulping his food and eating so fast that he was making himself puke! I knew I had to do something to slow him down so I ordered one of these bowls. He was wolfing his food down in about a minute to now where it takes 5 minutes and best of all he stopped tossing his cookies!"
