What are the food bowls for dogs who eat too fast

Watching a dog feast on food and devour it greedily may satisfy many owners, who believe that their dog's delicious food is a sign of health. However, eating too quickly is not a good thing for dogs, as it carries many health risks. When a dog eats quickly, a large amount of air will enter the stomach along with the food, which can easily cause bloating, hiccups, coughing, and even vomiting. In the long run, this may also lead to obesity, indigestion, malnutrition in dogs, and more seriously, increase the risk of developing digestive diseases such as peptic ulcers. However, don't worry, there are many food bowls on the market designed specifically for dogs who eat too fast, which can help them slow down their eating speed and eat healthier and more comfortably.

Slow food bowls are a common and effective choice. This type of food bowl has a unique internal design that sets various obstacles inside the bowl, thereby extending the path for dogs to obtain food. For example, the Flower Slow Food Pot, which comes from Kyjen in the United States, size S (20 × 20 × 4 cm) is suitable for dogs weighing less than 5 kg. High strength and safe engineering plastics are selected, and there is no irritating odor when opened. Its design is very unique, with intricate flower shaped obstacles inside that can greatly hinder dogs from eating. From the actual test results, for short mouthed dogs, they can be called the king of slow eating, with a 20 fold increase in eating time and a significant reduction in food intake; For long beaked dogs, the feeding time also increases by more than 2.5 times, and the frequency of coughing is significantly reduced. However, due to the complex design of the flowers, it is difficult to clean them. There is also the Coral Slow Food Pot, which is also a cool product. It is the same size as the Flower Slow Food Pot, but with a different obstacle design. Its inner ring is higher than the outer ring, and when the entire pot is filled with food, the obstacles will not be submerged. In terms of deceleration effect, it ranks second among multiple products, with relatively balanced basic performance. But the food bowl is a bit deep, even long mouthed dogs need to stick out their tongue a lot to reach the bottom of the food, while short mouthed dogs need to stick out even longer. That's why dogs need to use all their strength to stick out their tongues when eating, and large dog food can easily be licked out of the bowl, which is also a small drawback.

Three slow food columns and a slow food bowl are also a good choice. It comes from SUPER SD PETS Xiu Pu, with a simple and practical design. The M size (20 × 20 × 4 cm) is suitable for dogs weighing 2-6 kg, and the material used is 100% melamine A5 resin. It is relatively more suitable for dogs that are not so fast to eat, and belongs to a relatively low difficulty slow food bowl. Due to its relatively simple structure, it is more convenient to clean than the previous two models. In actual testing, when long beaked dogs use it, their feeding time increases by nearly twice, the anti slip effect is good, and the feeding bowl is stable; Although there is no specific data on the deceleration ratio when using short mouthed dogs, from the perspective of design principles and applicability, it can still help dogs slow down their eating speed to a certain extent.

The design of the anti slip jungle slow food bowl is very unique, from InnoPet. It is made of brand new soft silicone, and the soft material ensures stability. Its exterior design deviates from the traditional concept of a food bowl, turning the dog's eating process into a game. In theory, dogs need to search for food in "jungle like" obstacles while eating, in order to slow down their eating speed. However, in practical use, due to the relatively low difficulty, the reduction in dog feeding speed is limited. But it also has obvious advantages, with a large contact area with the ground, very stable, and no sliding phenomenon at all. Relatively speaking, short beaked dogs are more suitable for use.

In addition to the common slow food bowls mentioned above, there are also some food bowls with special functions that can help dogs eat too fast. For example, Oppo Food Ball, which is a creative product by Japanese designers. Its circular appearance, combined with a special load-bearing design at the bottom, resembles a tumbler, making it difficult for dogs to overturn it while eating. The design of shrinking the bowl mouth allows the dog's head to just fit into the bowl, avoiding the situation where the ears come into contact with food. The divider inside the bowl facilitates dogs to gather their feed in the corner for consumption, effectively slowing down their eating speed and reducing the likelihood of digestive problems.

With the help of modern technology, smart food bowls have also provided a new solution to solve the problem of dogs eating too quickly. For example, the Douai Intelligent Health Bowl consists of two parts: a dog bowl and an app. When users use the app for the first time, they need to input their pet's body parameters such as breed, age, gender, and average daily exercise time. The backend will comprehensively analyze the pet's body and environmental conditions based on this data, and calculate and recommend feeding amounts according to unique program algorithms. The dog bowl can provide accurate weighing data up to 0.1 grams to the APP for calculating the next meal intake. This product has also launched three inner bowl accessories for different dogs, among which the inner bowl of the slow food bowl is specially designed for dogs who need to control their eating speed. By using scientific algorithms and unique bowl designs, the feeding speed of dogs is significantly reduced, stimulating their primitive feeding awareness and making eating like a simulated wild foraging game. This not only solves the problem of dogs eating too fast, but also provides data-driven management for their healthy diet.

When selecting a food bowl for a dog that eats too quickly, it is important to consider factors such as the dog's body size, mouth shape, and eating habits. Different food bowls have their own advantages and disadvantages, for example, some bowls have significant deceleration effects but are difficult to clean; Some structures are simple and easy to clean, but the deceleration effect is not as good. We need to choose the most suitable food bowl for the dog based on the actual situation. After all, the health of dogs is our top concern. A suitable food bowl can help dogs eat healthily and happily, accompany us for a longer time, and create more beautiful memories together.
