15 of The Best Slow Feeders for Dogs
Looking for the best slow feeders for dogs? These feeding solutions are a great way to help prevent choking, vomiting, and bloating in dogs who eat too fast.
Some dogs act like they haven’t eaten in days every time you fill their bowl. If you’ve got a speed eater, you know the struggle—spilled food, upset tummies, and zero enjoyment during mealtime. Slow feeders are designed to make your dog work a little harder for their food (in a good way). They can help reduce the risk of bloat and support better digestion. These are some of our favorite slow feeder options for dogs of all sizes and eating styles.
We just got a new puppy, and if we let him eat out of a regular bowl, he will eat so fast that he either chokes or makes himself throw up.
Our older dog, whom we recently lost, didn’t eat quite as quickly, but he was a fairly fast eater, so this is not new territory for us. We always used this slow feeder dish with him, but we’ve spent the last several months researching puppy-friendly options and have determined that there are some other great options we love as well.
