| Alternative to slow feeding Some of our yorkies eat way too fast inhaling their food. There are a lot of products in the market to slow them down such as Kyjen slo bowl and Dogit slow bowls. Money is tight for me because he is on prescription food and the ER bill from last year so I use an ice cube tray with smaller holes. They work perfectly and you can get them anywhere for cheap. Just press the food down a little bit if you want to make it harder. Here's a video: https://youtu.be/b1r7gD1ST_8

| Wow, what a great idea! I have two pups who inhale food...they have the slow feeder bowls and it works ok, but they still wolf it down. I might try this,. Thanks for sharing!

| Lol Dot, his kibbles are mashed and mixed with water so same thing. I press it in in to the ice cube tray. Sometimes I take a few seconds refilling it and make him sit quietly when I am refilling it. By the time all is said and done, it takes about 20 minutes for the whole meal lol.

| Kibble Oh, you spoiled his fun. LOL! Think what joy it would be for him to scatter the kibbles all over and then have to hunt them to eat them Seriously, it is a great idea.......20 minutes feed time instead of nanoseconds! |
