"My 4 month old puppy had so much fun with this and I was able to freeze water in the cavities to make it more challenging. The other issue I had was that it moved around a lot. Would like silicone or some suction in the bottom"

— Janet

"I really thought that this would slower eating down a bit, but it actually made it quicker, because she didn't have to reach it all to get the food out. Then she just started playing with it, and dragging it to another place in the apartment."

Bottom Line

Consider the size and durability if you're looking for a slow feeder. It's great for small treats and light use, but may not be robust enough for larger pups or heavy use.
