"We have a beagle who would eat his entire meal in just a few bites leading him to regurgitate his food immediately. Since using this, his eating time has increased and the regurgitation has stopped entirely. It's also easy to clean and dishwasher safe."

— Erin

"I wanted this to work. But it didn't really do anything. I used it in my water bowl, so maybe it works better with food. My boys just wanted to take it out and play with it."

Bottom Line

If you have a small breed or puppy who needs to slow down their eating, this product could be helpful. However, if your dog is a fast eater or larger breed, it might not be effective. Consider your dog's size and eating habits before purchasing.
