Our puppy (now 6 months @ 68 #) d0esmthe same thing–drives me crazy, as our older lab, then has no water!!!! (She NEVER “dug” her water out, sat in her water, or chewed the rubber under the bowl, dedsigned to keep the bowl stable–in short, she is an angel, compared to this puppy! What solution did you have for the water bowl?–it’s hot in Texas and the dogs need a constant supply!!! (BTW–already tried the kiddie pool, etc!

I have an 11-month old lab – I am using the “Buster Dog Maze” feeder for her meals:

Has been working out pretty well. Slows down her mealtimes and is a source of entertainment (at least for me :-), not sure if she is enjoying it as much… 😀 ).

all my labs dig their water bowl, which empties them. breaks them or tips them over. For the last year or so I have given them a toddlers pool, it has worked well however my dogs lay in it to drink and have developed an unpleasant stink. So I need a bowl thats dig proof wont run out of water and cant be damaged or tipped over. I was toying with 2 toddler pools one inverted on the other and cable tied together with a hole big enough for one head at a time.

I have a 2 year old chocolate lab and with every meal I worried watching him gulping down his kibble in under a minute. I tried using a treat dispensing ball. I’d put his breakfast or dinner in it and he’d have to roll and throw it around the house in order to get to his food. It looked fun and he was clearly enjoying it but unfortunately it didn’t slow him down much, he would still inhale everything that came out of the toy (that’s why I knew that getting him a slow feed bowl won’t work either). What did help though and what we discovered by accident was the fact that as soon as we would mix some yoghurt or wet food with his kibble he would slow down and lick his food instead of swallowing it all at once. We are now doing it with his every meal and so far it’s been few weeks and the trick still seems to be working!
