Northmate Green Modern Interactive Dog Feeder

I saw other reviews about how well this feeder works for a large dog like a Great Dane, but I wasn't sure if it would work for my two little 10 lb chihuahuas. Holy crap does it work! One of my little guys is a real chow hound. He doesn't chew his food he vacuums it up straight into his stomach. But this thing really really slows him down. Plus, we can scatter shredded cheese in it when we leave them home alone and it keeps them busy for a long time. AND it's dishwasher safe. I love this thing! It's very much worth the price.

Slows a 90lb lab's consumption of two cups of dry food from about 30 seconds to about 12 minutes. He appears challenged throughout the whole process. Pretty funny. :)

I purchased this product after reading many reviews on here and other sites. Though some reviews were negative against it, the majority were positive. Before purchasing this, my dog, a 4-month old English Shepherd would inhale his food like it was his last and only supper. It would literally take him 30 seconds to whiff down a 1 1/2 cups of dry dog food. I don't think he even tasted it! The first time I used this product, it took him 15 minutes. I thought, "Yes!!" Big mistake as it was premature. Over the next 7 days, he reduced his eating time down to about 2 minutes for the same amount! And, no, he doesn't flip the feeder upside down. It's just that he's "figured out" how to scarf down his food efficiently using this "devise". While this might work for some dogs, I unfortunately am back to the drawing board to find a product that will truly slow him down. The product itself is of excellent quality, is wide and heavy enough so as not easily "flippable". However, if your dog has a large snout, this might not be a wise use of money, as the spacing between the "blades of grass" are not wide enough to get a large snout down. Thus, your dog will have to resort to using his tongue like a lizard to get his morsels. I may revert back to this feeder, once my dog and his snout gets larger. Who knows, by then, he might just flip the entire feeder over, which is a good thing to keep in mind. If you have a smart dog and he paws this feeder upside down, that's it. The game is up. Fortunately, after my dog did this one time, we relocated the feeder in such a manner where he couldn't do this again.

First off: I love this feeder and so does my dog. It elongated dinner time from 90 seconds to well over 10 Minutes and the dog is not gagging anymore after an especially intense feeding time.

The material is nice very smooth, well finished hard plastic, my dog has not yet tried to chew it. It's dishwasher safe.

Buyers, beware: it's fairly large (about 16" long by 11-1/2" wide) and the "grass" is up to 3" tall. My medium sized dog needed to get used to a technique to get his food pebbles out of it but it was a great game and still results in eat/play time.

However, while smaller dogs with a longer snout should be OK with this, I do not recommend this product for pugs or other small dogs with short noses, they might not be able to reach the food. Larger dogs with short snouts should be OK due to longer tongues.

This product is MUCH LARGER than I ever anticipated it would be I think that is the only drawback ---the manufacturer says one size works for all dog breeds and sizes, but I beg to differ and I think it would be great if they made a smaller version for toy size dogs.

That said, it does work to slow down the eating process, though my little ones like to use their paws to move the food around. I also have a couple of dogs who are "scared" of it right now and so they won't go near it, even when the food is in the "plate"... I figure eventually they will get hungry enough to overcome those issues... and in the meantime the other dogs like it just fine. I have purchased several of these because we are a multiple dog household, and after just a couple of feedings, I think this is a product that will definitely help with the gobblers in our pack.

I do recommend this, but I think it is more for dogs over 20lbs. and it's kind of strange to use with tiny 4 to 6 lb. dogs.
