A New Food Bowl For Dogs
About a month ago, I had the chance to try out a new and different type dog food bowl, the DogPause bowl. I agreed to try the bowl with my two Chessie girls who inhale every meal like they hadn’t eaten in weeks and probably wouldn’t see food again for at least a month. This has always been a concern to me since deep-chested, large breed dogs are more subject to bloat than other breeds. I have done many things to avoid the dreaded appearance of bloat such as feed dry food that is in small bits, provide ample water with meals and avoid using raised feeders, but there is always a concern.

but here goes.
