 Works as advertised for me August 4, 2008
My choc. lab is a very "aggressive" eater and would finish a cup and a half of food in under 30 seconds. I would have to stay in the kitchen and watch or when he was done with his food he'd wander over to his brother's bowl and a fight would/could insue.
I decided to try this bowl based on the claims that it would slow his eating. It indeed works and slows the dog's eating to a reasonable pace.
I am disappointed by the quality of the bowl. It is very lightweight and my dogs seem to think it's a toy due to how easy it is for them to move it around. This means I have to pick the bowl up after each meal or they'll rip it apart.
This bowl scoots around too much to be useful by itself. Aggressive eaters will move it unless it's on a piece of carpet with a rubber backing or similar no-skid surface.
 Brake-Fast Bowl July 29, 2008
My dog is still eating his food like it will disappear any second. I have not seen any difference with the use of this bowl. He now foams at the mouth when eating. Also this bowl slides all over the kitchen floor. It does not stay in one place. This is also frustrating for my dog. I have to put it in the corner so it will not move. I have not giving up on this bowl, I'm hoping he starts to slow down when eating.
 Good idea, poor design, slides all over the place... July 21, 2008
I have three Vizslas, who like to gulp their food. We bought these bowls to slow them down. The bowls do slow them down, however these are made out of plastic and they slide all over the place, making it difficult for the dog to eat from, and rather frustrating. All the design needs is a rubber ring on the bottom that grips the tile/floor.
Edit to my previous review: I see that the manufacturer claims that it is designed to slide on the floor to slow down eating. So perhaps my complaint is irrelevant above? If you want to feel like you have a hockey game, with the bowl being the puck, while your dog eats, then go for it, otherwise you will have to find some way to stop it from sliding. My dogs even slide these off of a carpet onto the tile floor.
Excellent June 27, 2008
This is an excellent product that completely slows down my 5 year old Weim, Bulina while he eats. My complaint is that this is plastic and would much have prefered a stainless steel bowl
Good form, decent function, cheap material June 27, 2008
I (or rather my Yellow Lab) have had this bowl for 6 months. It slows her down, but mainly because it's cheap, light-weight plastic and she has to push it all over the floor to get the food out. She pushes it so much that the edges are wearing down; I imagine it won't last much longer than a year at this rate. They have a metal version of this bowl now, and though it's expensive (especially if you want to get three of them for three dogs, like I do), it's probably a much better investment than the plastic, since it will basically last forever.
