Test Post

I wasn't looking for new dog bowls, but when I entered the pet store to purchase a bag of dog food, something caught my eye. Bright colored, interactive feeders on display right as I walked through the door. Well, I guess I fell for the product placement, because I picked one up for Ike. Ike is the gulper, so he needs something to slow him down. But as I stood at the counter, I thought, why not get one for Kelly too? She enjoys a puzzle challenge, and if she takes longer to finish her dinner, she won't run over and try to eat Ike's dinner as well. So I bought two.





















The Kyjen Slo-Bowl slow feeders come in different designs. I bought the Hills and Drop designs. After one test run it was easy to see:
1. the dogs enjoy the challenge of these feeders, and
2. the feeders really do work in significantly slowing down the time it takes the dogs to eat!





















One caveat: when trying them out, I quickly discovered that Hills design is difficult to fill, with the food flying all over the floor. 



Perhaps if I took the time to slow down and fill the bowl more carefully, that wouldn't happen. But instead, I returned it for a different design. This time I got the flower design. All went well with this style.
