Do you have a furry friend with eyes bigger than their stomach? Do they seem to inhale food, rather than chew it? Have you tried everything to curb their consumption without any success?
Then this is the gizmo for you. With just a drill, some wood scraps, and a few old bottles, your dog will be eating slower and looking trimmer in no time.
Of course, as in the case of this obese dachshund, managing your dog's diet isn't a vanity issue. Rapid eating can be very dangerous, and in some cases, lethal.
In some dog breeds, eating fast can lead to the development of gastric dilatation-volvulus, a medical disorder in which excessive air is gulped down, leading to swelling in the stomach cavity and, ultimately, death.
Rapid eating is also psychologically dangerous, as it is associated with greedy behavior — which, if uncontrolled, could lead to aggressive behavior and, later, violence.
But this amazingly simple toy won't just benefit your dog's health, it will also keep him entertained for hours! It's definitely a win-win all around.

Your dog will make a game out of getting to his food, thus burning energy and limiting his food intake.
