Anti-gorge feeding bowls are recommended because
the bowls design slows down the pace of eating. Fast
eating (also known as inhalation eating) has been
linked to some digestive problems.
Many dog owners have concerns regarding how
rapidly their pet eats and what can be done about it.
Problems range from burping to gagging and even
regurgitating or vomiting food shortly after eating.
Labradors and Golden Retrievers are classic
examples of food-orientated dogs; however, these
are not the only breeds known to eat at an alarming
speed. The main benefit to slowing a dog's eating
pace, is that a dog that takes more time to eat will
swallow less air.
An anti-gorge feeding bowl is a cost effective way to
prevent inhalation eating, decrease canine anxiety,
reduce indigestion, and promote positive eating
behaviour. When comparing an anti-gorge bowl to a
conventional bowl, there is a considerable difference
in the time taken to eat the same meal. The bowl
works by simply prohibiting dogs from taking large
bites of food, making them chew, pause and digest.
This results in a slower more relaxed feeding time.
To help pet owners combat rapid food ingestion, it is
suggested that the dog should have two meals a day
rather than one large meal a day. This routine
combined with the anti-gorge feeding bowl could go
a long way towards reducing many of the unpleasant
effects associated with rapid food intake.
