Outward Hound Fun Feeder Slo Bowl, Slow Feeder Dog Bowl, Medium/Mini, Turquoise===================================================================================================Slow Feeder Dog Bowl, Medium/Mini, TurquoiseALTERNATE REVIEW TITLE: Thoughtfully Designed, Slows Down Mealtime Without FrustrationIf you’re looking for a practical way to curb fast eating habits in your dog, the Outward Hound Fun Feeder Slo Bowl (Medium/Mini, Turquoise) is a clever and effective solution. 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.

Works great. Kid is able to feed dog appropriate amount and dog hasn’t chewed it up

Have a lab who is convinced that every meal is his last and will disappear if not consumed in under 4.3 seconds...Is that a good thing? No. Have I tried other ways to slow him down? Yep. Does this work? Kinda..... Let me explain: It's durable plastic that can take a beating and "keep on ticking". Good design (tried several out) and like colors (so easy to spot and tell apart when feeding more than one dog). Bought SEVERAL of these bowls so I obviously like them. Dogs won't hesitate to eat from them and, fun fact, they are dishwasher safe as far as I can tell (on both top and lower levels). Great weight - not too light and not too heavy - will stay in place with a little movement while dogs eat, but I can easily lift and fill.Sooooooooooo...........As great as this product is and as much as I like it - why only 4 stars?Because when you have a ravenous canine who really NEEDS to slow down their rate of consumption the bowl WILL SLIGHTLY slow them down, but their meal WILL NOT transform into the pace of a leisurely summer picnic. It will prevent gulping and INHALING of food/air which is really what striving for, but food will still be quickly eaten..... on second thought - yep. Should give it 5 stars. Because unless I'm going to scatter like chicken feed or drop on floor like a trail from Hansel & Gretel, nothing will truly be slowing my dog down..... EXCEPT for this bowl!!!!!!!

This bowl was a lot smaller than I thought. It works fine, but it's tiny. It's light weight and it suctions well to the ground, so it doesn't slip around when my dog eats. It's decent quality, not too easy to clean, but a value for what it's worth.

Purchase this for my beast of a puppy who can’t seem to slow down when he eats. This has been super helpful and slowing him down and allowing him to actually chew his food. He has to work on it for a while to get all of it, which is very rewarding for him. It’s a decent size though I do feel like sometimes I have to fill it twice to feed him. He has a rather large breed though, so I’m not surprised by that. Worth the money. I also like that they had a variety of different styles of this and the color I chose is really cute.
