New Stands
Saturday, March 11, 2017 at 9:04AM 
My daughter was looking for bowls for Adele and River and I shared this one place with her on Facebook. Angela saw it and went and ordered. Here are the results, If interested I am sure she will share the info with you. Do the bowls come with it too?
On another note we are looking into acquiring another slow bowl. It seems Stormy has reached the point of needing one, burping as she is eating too fast then still looking for more. She bites hands fir treats so you have to close your hand around the treat and allow her to calm down before she gets ut. It is working. She is too food motivated and this does happen. Where Raven says unless I have the great stuff in it, no thanks. Raven is eating out of her bowl now but needs a low rimmed bowl to do so and of course added treats crumbled up.
We have all types and with visitors we see a variety too. All are eating well except the boys Truffie, Kat and Stone which happens when the girls are in heat. They eventually get extra hungry and eat, of course.

Love those food stands, can you forward the facebook site? Hmmmm, a slow bowl may be in Marco's future. He really really LOVES his food... and literally licks the bowl clean. Let me know which one you get for Stormy. We're going to look for a toy box for him today... our current one is made of woven wood and he seems to like the feeling on his teeth and gums so we're replacing it. Stay warm out there brrrrrrrrrrr.
Do you want a slow bowl or a raised bowl? Waste to have both. I will try to film Stormy eating. She really needs one. This way you can compare eating. The criteria for a slow bowl is any design but a heavier version. The light ones they push around making the food eating comical to say the least but frustrating to the dog. The heavier ones they manage to still get the food out. They learn techniques first time out but it slows them down. They need to eat slower so they digest their food and not fill their tummy with food all in a nanosecond.
I thought of that after I sent you the message. It would be a waste to have both. A video would be fabulous... just to see her eating would be so cute and then I can compare it to Marco's timing. I have one of those balls that you put treats in and within a week he's mastered the nose push, paw twirl to get those kibble out of there .. so funny, I'll have to put bigger pieces in there.He's snoozing now after a run up and down hallways to tire him out (too cold out there) his little back feet are crossed :) Cheers.
I think that Kona eats very fast. This is not new, he has always been a super food motivated dog. I have to say easy, easy before handing him a treat because he may close his teeth on your finger.
Cooper is also a fast eater and totally food motivated. We have been using the slow bowl since we got him, simple metal bowl with the round thing in the middle. He has improved with the treats though: I put his treat, no matter what it is, on the floor and tell him to stay. I walk away, he looks at the treat but won't eat it until I say "okay". Learning to be patient and wait is a good thing.
Murphy has always inhaled her food and I bought a slow food bowl for her that has made an enormous difference. Her tummy troubles have settled down and I do believe the slow bowl has helped. She's good about not touching food or treats until I tell her it's okay.
Hi all,
For those interested in the raised food stations, I got them through:
https://www.facebook.com/KNSKREATIONS/
It is a home based business. I got the smallest size for Patches and Radar. They also make personalized toy boxes too, Patricia.
Sorry, forgot to mention stainless bowls comes with them.
Anne, I ask Kona to wait for his breakfast and dinner until I tell him okay. He waits and watches me until I give him the okay signal. He never tries to eat a treat or his meals until I give him the okay signal. He still eats far too quickly.
I love the polite dainty way that Raven eats. I have never had a dog that ate in that
fashion.
Good for Kona, I find "wait and okay" are very important words for our dogs to learn.
