Brake-Fast Dog Food Bowl
If your dog eats too much too fast, this bowl might help. The simple obstructions in its design prevent dogs from inhaling their food, making them eat more slowly, which may reduce the risk of bloat. The medium-sized blue plastic bowl is durable and dishwasher safe with a no-tip shape.
