★★★★★
Great for my speedy eater
My dog used to gulp down his food in seconds, but this slow feed bowl really made a difference. It slowed him down and now he seems more comfortable after meals. Plus, it's easy to clean which is a huge bonus.

★★★★☆
Good quality and effective
The bowl is well made and does what it promises. My dog takes longer to eat now, and I’ve noticed fewer digestive issues. The only downside is that it can hold onto smells if not washed regularly.

Works well but not for tiny dogs
This feeder worked great for my medium-sized dog who used to eat too fast. However, I don’t think it’s suitable for very small dogs because the maze is a bit tricky for them to navigate.
