We have one of those slow feeder bowls for Cosmo as he just enhales his food. I guess I don' mind so much as picky Miss Izzy I have to beg and pray that she eats each meal. She has pancreatitis/SIBO/IBD and when she doesn't eat that's not good. Plus she is tiny.

So what I say be very thankful that you have dogs that want to eat like Cosmo!! I also have them both sit and stay before getting their food and use our release word but he still goes to town on his food.

I've heard that some dogs get bloat so bad they can die from eating so fast and these bowls were supposed to help. If you watch the video it only slows them down by 10-30 seconds or so from not using the special bowl but they say that's enough to help with not getting bloat.

I'm just thankful this dog LOVES his food vs. picky Izzy.
