DoggieNews: Brake-Fast Doggie Bowl

Brake-Fast Doggie Bowl

Friday, May 19, 2006

The Brake-Fast Dog Food Bowl is a new invention designed to slow down a dog from eating too fast.

The three prongs sticking up from the bowl act as barriers to keep a dog from snatching up mouthfuls of dry or wet dog food.

It's marketed as a way to help prevent Gastric Dilatation/Volvulus (GDV), when a dog's stomach distends with air to the point that it goes into shock and possibly dies.

Interestingly, the bowl doesn't have a rubber base, and will slide across the floor. The manufacturer says this actually helps slow down the eating process.

It has a no-tip shape, is dishwasher safe, and comes in a 5-cup medium size.

$14.99

The idea of having a dog-bowl to slow down the dog of eating too fast, is a good one.
The only problem with this "Brake-Fast Doggie Bowl" is, it has to have a rubber bottom. Furthermore 3 prongs is too many, 2 prongs will do very well.
My Greyhound is a very fast eater. So, all I've done is bought a rubber-ball and put same in the center of his food. It works extremely well and he is quite happy with same.

I have a Great Dane puppy that was treated for pre-bloat. We put a tennis ball in his food which did not work at all. The brake-fast bowl works so well that I don't have to worry. My only problem is, he will quickly outgrow it. He will need something that he can get his nose around.
