Which anti-gulping bowl or slow feeder bowl to choose for a Greyhound?
For the Greyhound who are a too voracious, the anti-gulping or slow feeder bowls can slow down the ingestion of food. It is important to limit food intake because eating too fast can cause digestive problems.
This type of bowl may be particularly suitable for fat or obese Greyhound so that they feel that their meal lasts longer.
Which material should I choose for the bowl of my Greyhound?
Before buying a bowl for your Greyhound, you should think that it must be solid, light and easy to maintain.
It is important to avoid all materials that break and materials that are too heavy and will not be easy to use.
The ideal for a daily use bowl will be to choose it in stainless steel. Both resistant and lightweight, stainless steel is easy to wash, which is important because the bowl must be cleaned every day to prevent the growth of bacteria.
And to prevent the bowl from moving too much, it should be checked that it has the bottom (base) made of non-slip rubber.
Moreover, stainless steel bowls are really cheap.
It makes eating a whole lot messy.
Another potential benefit? Elevated bowls can make the process of eating or drinking a lot less messy.
If your elevated bowl has a stand with a platform, it can catch any flyaway bits of food or water before they hit your floor. Plus, if the bowls are secure in the stand (which they should be!), your pup can’t push their bowl around the floor and spill their food everywhere.
So, in a nutshell, elevated bowls equal less mess—which equals less time you’ll spend cleaning up after your pup!
