After reading through several reviews and now having used it myself, I can say it strikes the right balance between fun and function.The first thing you'll notice is the quality of the bowl. It’s sturdy, well-made, and the turquoise color is vibrant without being garish. The maze-like ridges inside the bowl are not just decorative — they’re strategically placed to make your pup work just a little harder for each bite. That added effort means a slower eating pace, which can help reduce choking, bloating, and even some of that frantic behavior around food.Also, because of the bowl’s design, it naturally slows the gulping of water when food is served wet or mixed with broth, which is another subtle benefit. And since this feeder comes in different styles and patterns, it might be worth rotating a few if your dog thrives on variety.You will also appreciate that this particular size (Medium/Mini) is a good fit for smaller breeds — in my case, a miniature dachshund. It holds just the right amount of kibble for one meal, and it’s not so deep or complex that it causes frustration. Instead, it turns mealtime into a little puzzle — engaging, but not discouraging.It’s also dishwasher-safe, which makes cleanup easy — something I always check for when buying pet items. A few users mentioned that it might slide on certain floors, but I didn’t experience much movement on mine (you can always place a matOne thing I would add — it's helpful to supervise the first couple of uses. Some dogs need a little time to adjust to the new eating style, but most adapt quickly. Mine actually seemed to enjoy the challenge, and I noticed a calmness afterward that wasn’t always there with regular bowls. There’s something about pacing the meal that reduces that anxious energy some dogs show at feeding time.In short, this is not just another pet accessory — it’s a small change that makes a noticeable difference. For any dog parent concerned about digestion, choking, or mealtime anxiety, the Outward Hound Fun Feeder Slo Bowl is an excellent investment in your pet’s well-being.Overall, this feeder is thoughtfully designed and highly functional. It’s not a gimmick — it genuinely works. If your dog eats too fast or has digestive issues related to speed-eating, this is a smart and affordable upgrade. Definitely worth trying.

5.0 out of 5 stars HIGHLY RECOMMEND. GET IT!! Can’t beat the price either

Here’s my verdict after 3 days of use:GET. IT. **Photos of size; water bottle for perspective and the intial quick eater in question**If you have a loved pet who just scarfs, inhales, will choke or throw up from eating too fast, however you want to put it; Buy one of these. I got the small size as our girlies are fed in incraments throughout the day. 7am, 3pm, 5pm, and 7pm. I got this for my girl Clair as she is KNOWN to just not even chew and make herself throw up she eats so fast. We’ve thought about slow feeders before and she Was given one of those puzzle feeders… she solved that in under 15 seconds 🤦🏼‍♀️ I put this bowl to use the SECOND we got it delivered and it has Drastically slowed her down to a normal eating pace. She ‘savors’ her meals if you will now. And for whatever reason, our good eater girl has begun to completely scarf down her food for reasons unknown. I Will be buying another slow feeder for her considering just tossing it on the ground to try slowing her down is not the method I would like.5/5 10/10 love this product. Depending on the size dog bowl you have it may fit in the bottom perfectly or snug, while others may make it difficult to be placed inside at all.

We have (just got) a 1.5 year 30lb mix who eats like she was just rescued off a desert island. This slow feeder does the job enough. Her 30 second meal has turned into a 3 minute meal. I can now actually hear some crunching. She took to it like it's the only bowl she ever had. I don't understand the complaints that the medium is too small. It can handle 2 cups of food with no problem. I had first purchased the large (because of the comments) but it was too big and too deep. I had to return it.

4.0 out of 5 stars The label was glue to bowls

Love them but had hard time getting the glue off from the labels of 3 bowls when they came in. You should not use that much glue. They work well after this

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for fast eaters

Got for my dog who is a FAST eater. She started choking one day on her food and I went on and ordered this immediately. This bowl has really helped her with eating slowly and not choking. The price was great and bowl is made with great quality. Works well and does the job of slowing down her eating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does What It’s Supposed To

Got the slowest bowl for my 5 year old, 95 pound pittie mix and it works well. I think he eats much slower with it so I’m glad I didn’t buy one that was even more slow than this. It holds two cups of dry food but just barely. You can see some of the kibble does stick up higher than the bowl pattern so if you have a pup that’s a super fast eater maybe get one larger or more complex.

I bought two of these for my dogs who have been throwing up from eating too fast I think! But either way so far it’s been pretty good and sturdy too for being plastic! It’s like a hard plastic but so far they’ve stop throwing up so that’s good! I like them! And the bowls are light weight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great! Really slows my guy down!

I got the green one. It works great! My puppy is only 4 months old and I feed him 3 times per day and he always gobbles up his food as fast as he can. I put a coffee mug in his bowl to try to slow him down til this arrived and that only slowed him down by about 20-30 seconds. It takes him a few minutes to get all of his food out of the grooves, which are fairly deep but not very wide. Even with his little puppy tongue, he can't get the food out very fast. Great bowl!

Ótimo!!

MUY LINDO Y ÚTIL

Ayuda mucho a mi cachorrito a comer con calma y le entretiene sacar el alimento de las ranuras. También es muy fácil de lavar, no queda alimento pegado, es estable y de excelente material. Muy recomendable.

Does what it says

Puppy still getting used to it but it’s high quality. Bit pricy but I loved the colour. Puppy prefers this to a bowl for kibble.

Útil y resistente

Llevo meses con este plato. Ayuda mucho a moderar la velocidad con la que come mi perro.
