Slow down your dog's food-gobbling

I have written previously about my dog Rosie's food gobbling problem, and some of the methods I've used to slow her eating. Food gobbling can lead to vomiting, belching and flatulence. Vomiting is a signal that something is seriously wrong with the dog's eating and digestive process. Belching and flatulence are signs that your dog's system is trying to balance out pressure inside and outside of his body. Eating too fast can cause bloat, gagging, and choking, and can affect your dog's ability to get the most nutrients from his food.

I was asked to test a new product called the Dog Pause Bowl, designed to force your dog to eat his or her food more slowly. They sent me 2 of their bowls free, in exchange for my opinion of their product. My first impression of the bowls was that they are very solidly made, and I could see instantly how it would take the dogs longer to eat their food. Abby had no problem with the change, and it took her about twice as long to finish her food. Rosie at first wasn't so sure about this new bowl, and sat in front of it for a while, looking at it and then at me. She eventually decided to eat, and it took her about twice as long to finish also. On the second morning, she went right to work eating with no hesitation. I am very pleased with these bowls, as they easily solved Rosie's gulping behavior. Both dogs were very involved with eating in a methodical way, and weren't concerned about finishing first and moving in on the other's bowl. Meal time is much more peaceful with the new bowls.

Other than receiving the 2 free bowls, I haven't been compensated in any way and am not an affiliate for them. I truly believe in this product and have given you my honest opinion in the hope it will help others with the same problem. If you'd like more information on the Dog Pause Bowl, CLICK HERE. They are currently on sale for $17.95. You can watch a 45 second side by side video of a dog eating from his bowl, compared to the Dog Pause Bowl, and it takes the test dog nearly twice as long to finish his food with the new bowl.

Slowing your dog's intake of food can eliminate all kinds of health problems. The Dog Pause Bowl is a simple fix for a potentially dangerous problem that will help extend your dog's life.
