What makes you think dogs bolting their food is bad? They are not horses, and they shouldn’t be eating “grain” anyway-no matter what the manufacturers call it, the protein in grains are not the same kind of protein that comes from animals.
And I didn’t look closly enough but this bowl isn’t made out of plastic is it? cause that’s a real no-no for feeding dogs. I’ve heard of dogs getting cancer on their noses from plastic bowls.
One of my dogs bolts her food and the other dog eats slowly and chews everything, just different eating styles, neither one is better than the other. IMHO

There are at least two other bowls as well. The “eat better bowl” and the “break-fast bowl”. I personally haven’t used either of these products (mine eats quickly but doesn’t gulp her food) though I have handled the “break-fast bowl”. It appears to be more suited to the “pointy beaks (as my boyfriend calls them) of shetland sheepdogs.

I have a Sheltie (Dasher)that used to gobble his dry dog food also. My Vet told me to put warm water into his kibble that way it would soften his food. When and if he gobbles it down it would be moist and not get stuck into the throat and would go down into the stomach. he can’t eat carrots unless they are cooked or steamed. As they would get caught and everything he would eat would all come back up.ICK
Now all is well and his food has a gravy texture. I also put his vitamins into the food and he eats all of it none the wiser(O:
