So since Bear has been feeling better he has been eating his food like a mad man, this morning after his antibiotics my mom fed him his food (heā€™s being transitioned from hills to fromm) but this is the first time he threw up. Weā€™ve tried the tennis ball and big rocks in the bowl but they kinda donā€™t work so weā€™ve been looking for a slow feeder my question is which would you guys recommend? Iā€™m worried about bears flat little face not being able to reach the food with the more intricate designs of the bowl.

I have a slow feeder for my Rottweiler. If he does not finish his food, my English Bulldog puppy has no trouble getting at the leftovers. I have one of the Outward Hound bowls (It is plastic though - I would have preferred stainless steel). It is also one of the large ones; I donā€™t know if a Bulldog would have a hard time getting at a smaller bowl. On a side note, they work great. My Rottie would eat 2 cups in less than a minute and throw up 2-3 times a week. He has not thrown up since we got the slow feeder. Good luck!

My previous EB had a slow feeder. I got him as per the attached linked. I did wash it each time. Or try putting a ball in his bowl. It works but not for all dogs. Duke would toss it out. But some members did the ball n were satisfied. Try it in case it works.

If the slow feeders don't work, you could always add a little warm water to his kibble and give it a good mix... I did that to my bulldogs when they were pups.

We bought one from petco yesterday and he couldnā€™t reach the kibble at the bottom so we had to continue looking, thatā€™s the biggest concern is that I want him to get it all but his nose as you all know is very short. I did some lovely 2 am amazon searching and found one that I think will work itā€™s coming Sunday so I will try the water trick, weā€™ve been mixing the rest of his baby food in with the kibble as it feels silly to return 70 cent baby food but we donā€™t want to throw it out either so that kind f makes him slow down but Iā€™ll update on the slow feeder I got to see how it is. 5BCF7215-3F89-48D1-88AE-1E523813286A.png
