In reply to Harvey Green. Thanks Harvey. I'll check it out. We started writing these posts for our Lab, Stetson over 12 years ago. Back then there weren't many options for slow feeder dog bowls. Sadly Stetson recently passed away. We do plan on reviewing more slow feeder bowls in time with either Raven or one of our other puppies. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Colby,
Thanks for this article on slow feeder bowls. There are now many more available models and styles, and quite a bit more advice from veterinarians that slow feed bowls are beneficial.
Are you planning another article on the topic?
In terms of vet advice, here’s an article I wrote that gathers some sources relating to vets and slow feeder bowls:

It may give you some ideas about future articles.
Thanks,
Harvey

Hi Joey,

Unfortunately, I don’t have the packaging for the bowl anymore. If you have a PetSmart nearby I think they still carry the large version of this bowl.

One thing I’d like to add is while this was one of our favorite slow feeder bowls ours cracked when my mother dropped it. It’s not as durable as the stainless steel bowls and some of the other plastic bowls we’ve used. The Martha Stewart bowl is made of a hard plastic that apparently is not too durable. If you do decide to purchase this dog bowl make sure your careful not to drop it.

Take care,
Colby

In reply to Judith. Thanks for the link and advice! I always worry about Stetson and bloat because he eats so fast. I'm always looking for dog bowls and other product that will help slow down his eating.

Here’s an expert opinion – most of what I’m reading supports this. I’ve read a study of almost 2,000 dogs that also supports NO raised dog bowls to prevent blout – as a matter of fact – the study shows that raised bowls are one of the primary CAUSES of bloat. The other causes are genetic predisposition, eating & exercise, eating too much food at once instead of spreading out the food by feeding several times a day. Here’s a link to one reference: http://www.care.com/pet-care-interview-with-an-expert-bloat-and-torsion-in-dogs-p1017-q14654.html

Hi Karen,

I’m sorry to hear about your Deuce and his surgery. I hope he’s feeling better.

I liked the Martha Stewart Dog Bowl the best out of any the slow feeder dog bowls I tested, but unfortunately, my mother dropped it on the tile floor when she was dog sitting and it broke. I thought it would be more durable, but unfortunately I was wrong. I’m not sure if you saw the video review: https://puppyintraining.com/martha-stewart-pets-slow-feeder-dog-bowl-video-review/. I did a comparison of him eating with his regular bowl and his slow feeder bowl.

Overall it worked the best out of any of the slow feeder dog bowls, but he still ate pretty fast. If you really want to slow down your dogs eating you might try one of the toys or puzzles like the Aikiou Dog Bowl or the Kong Wobbler. Here are a couple of reviews of those 2 dog feeders:

I’d love to hear about the slow feeder product you decide to get and how well it works for Deuce.

Take care,
Colby

Hi Colby-
I’m not writing about the contest, as I know it’s passed. I just wanted to say thank you for your review and the information on the product. My dog, Deuce, recently had emergency surgery due to bloat. The surgery was a success and he’s recovering slowly but well. Deuce like your Stetson likes to inhale his food. I’ve been trying to research different types of bowls that will help him eat slower. Are you still using the Martha Stewart bowl with Stetson? Thanks again for the review.
Karen
