If your dogs wolf down their dishes quickly, there’s a great possibility you’ll see it returning up a couple of hours later!

Not only does this not offer them with any type of type of mental excitement, it’s likewise not healthy and in some extreme cases, pets will certainly endure from canine bloat which can be fatal.

We only uncovered the concept of sluggish food bowls 4 years earlier after embracing our Malinois Aramis, that absolutely presented some anxiety e.g. “FOMO” – concern of missing out on out at meal times. We’re not sure about her background so she can have had to ingest her food swiftly so that no other dogs were able to swipe it …

For many years we have been using different designs however we consistently to swap these around in between all 3 dogs to ensure they don’t come to be obsequious though our senior has actually currently decreased considerably.

When Perth-based organisation Chow Slow contacted us to trial their very own Australian created range we were even more than pleased to provide it a shot with our three pet dogs as we suched as both the principle and the bowls’ designs.

Concerning Chow Slow

Back in 2018, Chow Slow owners Harvey as well as Tran were motivated by the need to locate a means to reduce the consuming of their very own pet dog, Ripley – a Beagle with an endless belly. With the nickname “A nose attached to a belly”, Beagles are understood for being ferocious eaters that will never decline food. This makes them susceptible to ending up being obese yet also to vomiting food not long after consuming.

After using a sluggish feed bowl – the turquoise one envisioned over – Ripley no longer had concerns with regurgitation. He became much less stressed out during dish times, since there was no rush to eat as quickly as feasible.

Inspired by this success, the firm has actually created a selection of 3 various layouts of slow-moving feed bowls, all of which have actually been successfully trialled with both Ripley as well as other family members dogs and cats.

The Stainless-steel and also Lime Fun Feeder Bowls reduce down feeding by an element of around three times. The Turquoise Fun Feeder Bowl reduces feeding by an element of around six times.

1. Chow Slow Blue-green Fun Feeder Dish

The Blue-green Fun Feeder Bowl is specifically made to make it impossible for your pet to consume their food also rapidly.

With 13 moulded obstacles (of various elevations and dimensions), this arrangement makes it extremely hard to grab as well many items of kibble at once but it additionally slows down consuming extremely efficiently if feeding a raw or cooked meal.

Each Chow Slow Fun Feeder Dish’s capability is 500ml (the matching of 1.5 mugs of completely dry or damp food). We have a tendency to measure our dogs’ day-to-day parts in grams (125g of completely dry food or 300g of raw food twice a day) so these smaller size bowls still helped us.

The Fun Feeder Bowls are made from food risk-free ABS plastic with a rubber footed non-slip base and we discovered them simple to clean in warm soapy water.

2. Chow Slow Lime Fun Feeder Bowl

The Lime Fun Feeder Dish only includes three moulded barriers in a triangular pattern, collected in the direction of the centre.
We discovered this did absent excessive of an obstacle for either Malinois but they have actually had 4 years of method using sluggish food bowls so they were well in advance of the curve!
Both Enjoyable Feeder Bowls are advised for little to tool size dogs as well as all felines so for our big woofers it was a little bit harder to obtain their huge heads around those bowls however they still satisfied for which they are designed.

3. Chow Slow Stainless Steel Enjoyable Feeder Dish

Our very first pet food bowls were made from stainless-steel and also still in sensible condition so we suched as the idea of using this dish one of the most.

It’s likewise a lot bigger with an ability of 700ml (or 2 mugs of wet food) so this version of the Fun Feeder Bowl can benefit all sizes of dogs.

Nevertheless with simply one main challenge and a large band all around it, it did not existing way too much of a challenge for our pet dogs. They could still grab a good mouthful each time using their big tongue and also it not reduce them down as a lot as the various other two bowls.

I promise our pets see these slow bowls as a personal difficulty as they try to both defeat their very own times and also finish first to after that go and also sniff each other’s dish!

Our referral would be either the Turquoise Fun Feeder Bowl if you have just one pet or obtain both the Blue-green and also Lime variations if you have a multi-pet family to switch them around every couple of days.
