brake-fast Dog Food Bowl Slows down Eating

Ranked #17,101 in Pets & Animals, #482,260 overall

If your dog wolfs down the food, this product may be just the thing!

brake-fast® dog food bowl's design makes it difficult for your dog to inhale their food. The simple obstructions in its design forces them eat more slowly, which may reduce the risk of bloat or Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV). If your dog eats much too fast, this bowl might help.  Also called the Slower Eating Dog Bowl and Healthy Eating Dog Bowl, this innovative bowl has been veternairian tested and recommended. By eating more slowly your dog will feel more full and reduce problems associated with eating to fast (such as vomitting & 're-eating', bloat, gas, etc). See the bottom of this page for more info on GDV. The brake-fast® dog food bowl has a simple design that really works!

Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV) or Bloat 

This is a term that is synonymous with the more scientific term "Gastric Dilatation/Volvulus." It is often called GDV. That means that a dog's stomach distends with air to the point that it goes into shock and may die. Dilatation means that the stomach is distended with air, but it is located in the abdomen in its correct place. Volvulus means that the distention is associated with a twisting of the stomach on its longitudinal axis. More Info

NEW! Metal Version is NOW AVAILABLE!

After popular demand the manufacturer has finally offered a metal version! Made of heavy die-cast Aluminum with non stick coating on both sides and has a 5-cup capacity. They are available in Small & Medium. The price for the medium is $36 and well worth that, it should last a good long time.

You can buy the metal version or the the durable plastic at www.DogScene.com.

We hear the manufacturer is working on another material - stay tuned...!

brake-fast® Bowl Slides Around While Dog Eats

It's supposed to!

The manufacturer has intentionally made the bowl so it will slide around on the floor. They decided the purpose is to make the dog slow down their consumption rate, having the bowl slide adds that much more time when eating.
If you don't like the sliding and want to defeat this feature, Dog Scene suggests you place the bowl on a piece of rubber grip type shelf liner or carpet square. However, keep in mind this may speed up the eating process and defeat the purpose of the bowl.

    I love this bowl! My golden retreiver ate so fast she would barf up her food and then eat it again - YUCK! Not only that, she sounded like she was going to choke to death. I was worried she might! With this bowl she takes about 3 times as long to eat and no more barfing!

What's in a name?

Many people refer to this bowl as a break-fast dog food bowl or break fast dog bowl. Not only can your dog eat its breakfast from it, rest assured he can eat lunch and dinner too! Don't let the 'unofficial' name fool you!
