Slow feeders work by making it harder for your dog to take larger bites of food and vacuuming the food.

Possible benefits of a dog slow feeder bowl include:

• Reduced likelihood of bloat since the dog swallows less air as they eat

• Less risk of choking since the dog has more time to chew and is paying more attention to each bite

• Improved digestion because the stomach fills more slowly

• Reduced gassiness since the dog swallows less air that then has to travel through their digestive tract

• Less risk of vomiting as a result of eating too quickly

• Mental stimulation because the dog must think about how to get all the food out
