My dog is very picky and is considered underweight right now from how much we struggle on getting him to eat anything.
So far (knocking on wood as i’m saying this) we have been feeding him turkey & white rice and giving it to him in this slow feeder.
As soon as I give it to him EVERY time, he is soo excited to get it and actually starts eating! Sometimes I even get to fill it up twice and that makes me so happy!
& Sometimes I even fill it up with things just as a snack if he’s not feeling too hungry!
I’ve tried to give him that food in his regular stainless steal bowl, and he just turns away. I’ve tried in a glass bowl, plate, and nope- won’t eat it. I’m thinking maybe he likes the idea of working for it, or that he has to think about how get can get it out of the small places.
And not to mention, my dog is also a golden (how did I forgot to say that?) so a golden slow feeder is perfect! Plus, the food always looks so pretty when it’s in there, and the colors that are offered are so cute!
We currently own 2 other slow feeders but since we got the golden one, it has been the main one we use :)
Anyways, I recommend this slow feeder to anyone who owns a garbage disposal or, AKA a Golden Retriever haha. Orrrr, any breed in general!!!
You can also use this feeder as a lick mat too, because it has a suction cup at the bottom so you can stick it anywhere. Freeze something inside and stick it to the wall for nail trims or stick it to the bathtub during bath time. Would definitely be a perfect distraction/relaxer for pups who aren’t a big fan of fireworks tomorrow ):
