An hour at the Bach meeting other Dachshunds was exciting for Penny!
Watching tv with her stuffy.
Cuddling together in my bed.
Just chill'n
Penny snuggled up with David.
My babies
Napping in the sun
Finally joined instagram!

Slow Feeding Bowls

June 15, 2013
We all know that dogs who inhale large amounts of food too\nquickly can develop serious problems such as vomiting, bloat and even death. As\nof late, I\u2019ve noticed that Luna and Penny are both eating a little too quickly\nfor my comfort.  I have separated them in\nthe kitchen during feeding time, hoping to alleviate any rushing, but I\u2019m also considering\ngetting them both a food bowl that is designed to force slow eating. I have\nbeen checking out the so called \"slow down\" bowls on the market and\nthought I would do a round-up of what's out there. Here are some options I came\nacross in my search.

  7. http://www.trendypet.com/elevated-dog-bowl.php?sku=16-2-sf-2qt

In the meantime I have actually flipped Penny\u2019s bowl upside\ndown when feeding her because the design of her current bowl actually produces\nthe same design and result as a slow feeding bowl. I am actually quite\nsurprised how many seconds have been added onto Penny\u2019s consumption time.  Luna\u2019s bowl is not shaped the same way, so I\nam not able to test this out on her, but I can only imagine that having a bowl\ndesigned to slow her down would actually do just that.

Do you have any experience with a slow feeding bowl?  If you do I would love to know how it works\nout for you.
