Slows the Chow Down
WATCH VIDEO FOR ANTI-BLOAT BOWLS
Do you know what the number two killer of dogs is in this country? Number one is cancer, and number two is something called ''bloat'' (the technical name is ''Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus'' or ''GDV''). Bloating of the stomach is often related to swallowed air. As the stomach swells, it may rotate, twisting and trapping air, food, and water in the stomach. Some of the symptoms are panting, trying to vomit, distended or hard stomach, and a hunched-up appearance. The bloated stomach obstructs veins in the abdomen, leading to low blood pressure, shock, damage to internal organs, and death.
One of the main causes of bloat is dogs gulping down their food. When you put your dog's food down in front of him, is it gone in seconds? If so, this bowl is for you and your dog! The three pillars inside the plastic bowl force the dog to eat around them, thus slowing down the food intake. After your dog eats, you should not exercise him for at least 20 minutes. Big, deep-chested dogs and older dogs are at highest risk of bloat, but any dog (or cat!) can get it.
This simple, inexpensive solution is a great way to cut your dog's risk of dying a very horrible and painful death. One of my dogs is a food wolfer. Before this bowl, he took seconds to finish his dinner. Now he takes 2 minutes (I timed him!). And I am so much more relaxed knowing he is safer — especially when I have to feed him and leave the house.
The red bowl is for puppies, smaller breeds, and cats and holds up to a cup and a half of food. (Dishwasher-safe.)
