It's called the brake-fast dog food bowl. The website is http://www.brake-fast.net/ Good luck. :)

They don't make bowls to stop a dog from eatting fast. Try putting the bowl on a stand, or buying a set of bowls that are already on some type of stand. Dogs eat much slowed when they have their head lifted towards their food. They eat faster if it's on the ground, and they inhale more air that way.

I know they make those bowls with a feeder container attached, so you might be able to put the amount they need to eat in the container, and it will fill the bowl as your dog eats, maybe at a slower rate. How big is your pet food, sometimes bigger sized kibble makes them take a second a chew a bit more.
Anyways good luck

The warm water answer is a good one, I pup sit for a lab that sucks his food down , when I started mixing his food with warm water then letting it swell up to full wet size and then giving it to him he eats much more slowly and it's better for him. It won't swell in his stomach which can be dangerous. It is better to train him to eat more slowly but some dogs are just gluttons. Sitting over (next to ) him and taking the bowl away every few bites (say slow down) then put it back when he relaxes can prove to him that the food won't run away but he may always eat fast.

I would break up their food, feed them twice a day instead maybe.
Also if I put a few treats at the bottom of the bowl, they dig for the treats first and seem to eat the rest of the food slower.
EDIT* I love that brake-bowl! but i dont like that it's plastic..not sure why but dont vets always recommend the stainless steel bowls?

I started feeding my three dogs off a very large cookie sheet with the food spread all around. It now takes them longer to eat. I also feed them 1/2 food in morning and 1/2 at night.

Just use the regular bowl and put a brick or a rock in it with the offd. They eat slower when they have to eat around the rock. You can also use a "treat ball" that dispenses the treat or kibble as they roll the ball around the floor. I think even Wal-Mart sells one.

One of my boxers eats so fast, he sometimes gets sick!! I think he does this, so the other dogs can't get "HIS food"! You can just give them little amounts at a time, and feed them one at a time. That is what I have to do!!

With my late rottie the rocks and tennis balls in the bowl didnt work. What I did do what add warm water to his food. It slowed him down some. Good luck
