Walk Fido: Solutions for Fido: My Dog Eats Too Quickly

For those of us who work with rescue organizations every day, there is a sad, sad phrase that is often uttered about the single most difficult type of dogs to find homes for: big black dogs. No matter how lovely the dog is, no matter how perfect the temperament, many potential adoptive families overlook big black dogs at shelters all across the country in favor of dogs that have more unique coloring (blue! red! orange with stripes! white with brown spots!). This issue is so close to our hearts (we have a little black pit bull after all!) that we've decided to feature a weekly roundup of local BBDs that need homes. Their photos and links to their profile on PetFinder will remain on our site until these dogs find a home.

Solutions for Fido: My Dog Eats Too Quickly

Our English Bulldog eats too quickly. If you are in any way representative of our Walk Fido clientele, at least 50% of you have dogs that eat too quickly as well. So we've been checking out the so called "slow down" bowls on the market and thought we'd do a round-up of what's out there. We'll be doing some testing of our own with Oscar the bulldog later this month.

Have you tried any of these? Have they worked for you? If so, let us know. We're eager to see if it works with our scrunched up bulldog's face & other doggy clients just like him who have pushed-in faces and eat with a shovel-it-in speed that is astounding.
