It worksFeb 01, 2008
By Magie M.
I have a Beagle, a Cocker, and a Dacshund mix. The medium works for the first two and the small is perfect for the little guy.
Postive:
My dog would eat so fast that I was sure he never chewed. All three dogs eat at the same time and the Beagle would always finish first and then pressure the others for thier food. This caused the Cocker to eat a little faster too. I am glad I saw these on a TV show recently. They work!!
My Beagle has slowed down considerably. He HAS to slow down just to get to all the bits around the center prongs. I hope it keeps working. We have been using it for 2 weeks and I just ordered more for my niece to use with her 3 dogs.
Needs Improvement:
The bowls need to be weighted down. They are too light. With the dog having to move his nose around the prongs, it moves the bowl more than a standard bowl. Adding some weight would help.
My dad is working on a raised platform to use with the bowls. That will give the benefit of feeding the dogs at their best level AND holding the bowls in place on the stand.
I highly recommend these to anyone with dogs who eat so fast that they regurge thier food as soon as they are done.

 Great idea... but not for PugsJun 13, 2008
By Moneet Singh

I'd actually give this 5 stars if I had a dog with a snout. It didn't seem to be as deep in the photos as it actually is. While it does slow him down, Hoops is unable to get to the last fourth of his meal and it looks like the pillars are almost poking his eyes.
I tried it a couple of times with him. He got very frustrated and flipped it over the first time. I secured it the second time, so he just gave up with 1/4 of his food left and cried. If it was half as deep it'd be great...
Make a version for snub-nosed dogs please!

 Works Like MagicAug 14, 2007
By IlPrimitivo
We have a little boston terror that used to gulp her food so fast she'd throw it up again a few minutes later. We tried different shaped bowls to no avail until we got the Brake-Fast bowl.
What an immediate difference it made.
The bowl slows her eating to where she no longer is able to gulp her food and she hasn't gulped-barfed since we got the bowl.
A simple solution and a great product. Thanks!

Amazing bowlDec 14, 2007
By K. Schafer
This bowl is great - it changed my dog's dinner time from 7 seconds into a good two and a half minutes. Now he doesn't gag for thirty minutes after he's finished dinner. Well worth every penny.

Brake fast bowl worksNov 02, 2008
By SM
"Mick's Mom"
The bowl definitely works. The dog eats his food much more slowly. The cons of this product are that it is so light weight plastic that it slides too much. To solve the problem, I went to a discount store and bought a cheap metal bowl and took the rubber ring off of the base and put it on this bowl. That helps a lot.
The second con is the price. I think the price is outrageous for a piece of molded plastic.
