@emi good point on the irritation. I assume dogs have lips. The EatBetter bowl was okay. The only problem was the obstacles in the bowl did not separate the food enough. Derby tested this the EatBetter dog bowl and he still chomped down on his food pretty fast. Here’s the video review I posted a little while back: https://puppyintraining.com/contech-eatbetter-dog-bowl-review/

I like the Contech blue bowl with the rounded edges. I’ve seen Stetson eat and the rounded edges would cause less irritation on his nose and lips…do dogs have lips?????

The same goes for that awesome waterbowl by DrinkBetter.

@Em, thanks for the suggestions for Stetson and his eating. I have a friend who does pottery so that might be an option. I’m not sure about the wood dog food bowl, but we can always try new things.

I’ll check out the dog bowls you listed. If I can I’ll buy and post more reviews.

Thanks for visiting!

Thank you for posting such awesome reviews! I have two dogs (a coonhound mix and a beagle) that also inhale their food. I have been researching different bowls and ideas. Your site has given me some new ideas and it was great to see some of the products in action! 🙂

One suggestion I could think of is that since Stetson can’t have plastic bowls and the metal was hard on his teeth – could you have a local potter make a heavy duty stoneware bowl in the shape like the brake-fast bowl? or a wood worker make a wooden one? Not sure if those would be just as porous as plastic though and if they would hold up to wear and tear. Cover the plastic bowl tightly in a thick heavy duty aluminum foil? I don’t know, just throwing out random ideas, lol. If only there was a pyrex glass version of it… 😛

I found some other products that I didn’t see on your list, just passing them on in case you want to review them eventually.

JW Pet Company Skid Stop Slow Feed Bowl
Durapet Slow Feed bowl
Omega Paw Portion Pacer Ball
Omega Paw Tricky Treat Ball (fill with his kibble and not treats)
Buster Cube (fill with his kibble and not treats)

Keep up the great work, I have book marked your site!

@Catherine, the only drinking bowl we reviewed was the Drinkbetter medium blue bowl. I posted a video and written review with two of my dogs drinking from the bowl here: https://puppyintraining.com/contech-drinkbetter-dog-water-bowl-review

I still use the bowl and as far as I cant tell it cuts back a bit on the dog drool, but the actual flotation device splashes around if you have a violent water drinker. I did add a bit of water to the flotation which helps, but it’s still not the solution I was looking for.

I need a dog DRINKING bowl for a sloppy lab, he’s a wonderful Seeing Eye dog who keeps the floor soaked.. Any suggestions?

What a clever post. I was thinking I liked the first one the best until I saw the DogPause Dog Food Bowl… red is my favorite color. Lucy has a red bowl. I bet she would love the DogPause Dog Food Bowl.

@Tom, thanks for the comment. When Stetson was a puppy almost every time he ate he choked on his food. After doing some online research and from recommendations we came across the dog bowls you see in this review.

As a Guide Dog puppy raiser we are always out and about with our dogs so I’m always on the look out for new travel products and traveling dog water and food bowls.

Man I have never put that much thought into dog bowls before. This an absolutely GREAT article! I study plenty dog training and everything but I have never even saw some of those bowls you reviewed. Thanks for this

I saw your your tube video on the metal bowl. I think it’s a better bowl for Stetson because his nose fits into the spaces better. I thought he was squishing his nose the last time I saw him use the blue plastic bowl. I also don’t think he will be allergic to this metal bowl like the plastic one.
