Description
Gobblers and Health Risks
While there are dogs that are nibblers whenever they eat, there are also gobblers. These gobblers would chow down food as soon as they see food heading toward the feeding dish. Such behavior can be attributed to their competitive instincts as they are genetically created to hunt and forage for their food. Eating too fast, however, should be discouraged because pets who do so are more susceptible to health risks such as vomiting, gastrointestinal discomfort, and food bloat (occurs when one gulps food and swallows air). Rapid eating makes your dog eats more because he does not have the chance to chew and properly digest his food and can lead to a false feeling of hunger. An increase in eating frequency can cause them to gain some extra weight that we also should not allow to happen because this can also mean having less endurance and stamina.
The Sure, ‘Slow’ Solution
Our dogs will probably just stare at us if we tell them to go slow on their chow, but this does not mean that we cannot do something about this. Slow Dog Feed Bowl by Meric is designed with ridges or barriers which make your pets work around his meal. You can introduce the concept of play as you reduce the chance of your pets gulping down their food. Health issues associated with rapid eating can also be avoided. These will also serve as separators that can also help stimulate your pet’s interest with some mental exercise as they need to go through some ‘obstacles’ using their eye-paw coordination to get their food.
The food and water bowl comes in an attractive blue color and made from solid polypropylene plastic (PP) material meant for long time usage. No food will also be wasted because it has a non-skid rubber base that will stop any movement and food spillage. Its size of 2” (height) x 8” (diameter) is ideal for small-sized dogs that weigh about 2-22 lbs. and medium-sized dogs that are around 30-60 lbs.
