The Gobblestopper makes it easy to turn any existing feeding dish into a slow feeder. The fun & functional "canopy" bone design creates an obstacle during meals, effectively slowing the consumption rate by up to five times. It stops gulping, aiding in the prevention of bloat, the second leading health risk in canines. The Gobblestopper quickly affixes to the bottom of any ceramic, stainless steel or plastic feeding dish (not included) with the easy-to-use suction cup. The dishwasher-safe design features a small quick-release tab that makes removal easy for pet parents, but difficult for dogs.
