Discover everything about anti-gulp dog bowls. We offer the best options to ensure that dogs can eat calmly and healthily.

Dogs are known for their enthusiasm for food, often their snout can be found right next to a plate of food. But when it comes to their own food, they are often finished before you know it, because dogs are generally fast eaters. However, this behavior carries risks. Below is an explanation of what a slow feeder is and why this can be important for dogs.

What is a slow feeder?

A slow feeder, also called an anti-gulp food bowl, encourages dogs to eat more slowly. Obstacles in the middle of the slow feeder make the dog have to make more effort to get to the food. This ensures that the dog gulps less and feels full more quickly.

What are the risks of dogs eating too fast?

The number of overweight dogs is increasing; it is estimated that 35% of pets are overweight. Obesity in dogs can cause a number of health problems, including skin problems, diabetes, joint problems and heart disease. Eating too fast can even cause gastric torsion, a serious and potentially fatal condition if not treated quickly.

Benefits of a slow feeder

1. Eat more calmly

The slow feeder was developed to prevent the aforementioned health risks as much as possible. Because the dog will eat more slowly with a slow feeder, the body also gets more time to process the food at the right pace. This is much better for the (digestive) digestion of the food, which reduces the chance of overweight.

2. Prevents vomiting or vomiting

Eating too fast can lead to vomiting or throwing up because the stomach has too little time to process the food. A slow feeder reduces this risk.

3. Fights boredom

The challenging nature of the obstacles in the slow feeder makes eating more interesting for the dog and prevents boredom.
