My cat, Tubby, is one of those cats who eats his food REALLY fast. He often vomits after inhaling his food (I almost named him Hoover). Recently, I purchased a Durapet Slow-Feed Bowl to see if it worked. Well, it does! Tubby actually takes longer to eat than my other cat, JoJo. There is also less vomiting! I would highly recommend giving this product a try if you have a similar situation. The bowl is stainless steel – very sturdy. It’s also easy to clean. I would avoid plastic bowls like this because they can lead to issues with chin acne in cats.
How about dogs who snarfle too fast? Would this work for them?
Yes, it does help. They make them for dog’s too. You could also try a large ball in the food dish (like a tennis ball). I’ve also heard good things about elevating the dishes in pets that gulp food.
Cool, I’ll try one of these!
If anyone tries a tennis ball (or large ball) – be sure that it’s too big for your dog to eat and swallow!
