Most slow feeders work by putting obstructions or maze-like structures to make it difficult for the dog to get to the food. The dog has to chase the food around the bowl in order to eat. This can be extremely frustrating to the dog and can cause unnecessary stress and anxiety. Gulping can create serious medical problems from bloat to twisted bowel. By changing to a plate, a much larger surface area becomes available to the feeding dog. All the food is in plain sight and does not have to be chased, thus avoiding stress and frustration. Perfect for dry, wet and raw feeding. Ideal for flat-nose breeds, e.g. French Bulldogs and all bully breeds. Dishwasher and freezer safe.
