We have a Golden who inhales his food. In fact, he has an amazing resemblance to my Shop-Vac when he's eating.
This has slowed him somewhat, but it's certainly not a relaxing dinner over a glass of wine. It's probably a 50% improvement from a 30 second affair out to maybe 45 seconds.
We also tried one of the bowls with the built-in obstructions. He pushed it all over the room trying to get to his food. Then he picked it up and dumped it out.
At least he hasn't tried to eat the ball. Yet...

I have been using this product for about 6 months for my 80 lb dog. He used to gulp his food down so fast he would throw up after almost every feeding. We had experienced choking, vomiting, and belching before we tried the large stainless steel Portion Pacer. Since we have been using it our dog Boomer eats much slower and does not vomit after eating. We lost Boomers sister to GDV (Bloat) a year and a half ago and we were really concerned that the same thing would happen to him. Unfortunately the bowls designed to slow dogs down didn't work for him as he has a pushed in face and couldn't eat around the pegs in the bowl. This product has been a life saver for our dog. He has never tried to take it out of the bowl and he eats around it without a problem. I would recommend this to anyone whose dog eats too fast. Big Bonus, dishwasher safe!!

Bought it and used it once for my fast eating Basset Hound. It worked reasonably well. Then my slower eating Basset Hound picked it up out of the bowl and carried it about 10 feet before dropping it on the tile floor where it shattered immediately. It's a heavy ball but unless you have very small dogs that can't pick it up I would avoid this one. Opt for the stainless steel model or for an obstacle that's built into the bowl.
Honest reviews on Omega Paw Portion Pacer, Stainless Steel, Large
I have bought a ton of stuff off of Amazon and sadly have never written a review on anything. Not today, this item impressed me so much that I am doing it right now! I have read some of the other reviews and to the ones that say it doesn't really work, they are clueless and don't know how to use this item. First off, you have to figure out the correct size you need based on what kind of bowls you use at home. I bought the small balls which are about the size of a tennis ball and they take up MOST of the room in my Chihuahua's dog bowls. You can't put this ball in the middle of a gigantic dog bowl and then complain it isn't really effective. They need to work for the food to slow down the eating, in my situation they have just enough room around the ball and bowl to fit their snout and lick up some food. This item tripled my dog's eating time if not more! Buy this product but figure out what size ball and bowl combination works best for you. Not sure how big large is but size small is about the size of a tennis ball. Click here for more size info from the manufacturers website: I am so grateful for this product!
