The egg young month ago a serious illness, after the recovery needs to abide by the medical supervision, eat less and more meals, chew slowly, put an end to snacks. However, the dog's instinct is uncontrollable, and it is more and more crazy about food. Whenever you pick up something to eat, your little cutie will suddenly appear.
However, it is not good for health to give food every time.
In order to make it eat slowly, many methods and products have been tried, but they are not satisfactory. Slow food bowl has no effect, and leaky food balls are not suitable for eating dog food every meal every day. Until I found out that petmate, a brand I have always trusted, has produced this combination of leakage and slow food. Bowl!
Product name: American petmate rotating leaky food puzzle slow food bowl
❤ Color: White
Material: food grade high quality material
❤ Applicable to: cats and dogs
❤ Price: 269
Let's take a look at the features of this product.
❀ Packaging
A commodity whose packaging is a manual.
Advantages: Transparent packaging, products and instructions at a glance.
The roller is exposed outside, which arouses interest.
Disadvantages: The wrapping paper with the product introduction is in the outermost, and it is easy to be torn and lost during transportation.
Although there are openings and dotted line printing, but the packaging is super hard, be sure to use scissors to avoid hand injury.
Size, appearance and components
Mall to provide the size of the goods before I was stunned to understand, and now provide you with the actual measurement of the size, for reference.
The product has only three parts: two halves of the drum and a dish rack.
After assembly, it is trapezoidal, white, beautiful and elegant.
The gray part at the bottom is designed to be skid-proof, and the effect is good.
The drum has two adjustable gears: full-mouth and half-mouth, which can be buckled after rotation to adjust the speed of grain delivery.
When the mouth is full, it is one mouth, and when it is half mouth, it becomes two mouths.
※ There is a small problem with the half mouth: once it is rotated, the two half mouths basically produce grain at the same time, which is easy to fly away and difficult to control, as shown in the figure below.
❀ Installation and use method
This product uses the card slot design, the installment use super invincible simple.
① Remove the roller, fill half of it with dog food, select the whole mouth and half mouth, and buckle it up.
Lay it flat, hold it down, and snap it into the slot of the rack.
It cannot be buckled, and the following conditions may occur if it cannot be pressed or laid flat.
Give your dog a demonstration so that he can accept it, and then start exercising!
When using for the first time, please be accompanied by a nurse to avoid improper operation.
※ I couldn't get a picture of the adaptation process, because the egg is really good. If your dog doesn't adapt to this product, please refer to the "tips and training" column in the manual to help it slowly.
The main features of this product are rolling leakage, large capacity, anti-skid bottom (see appearance) and easy cleaning. The following is a comparison with other leaky food products, and the egg boy will show you these advantages.
❀ Fixed suspension rolling type grain output
This product adopts the combined design of grain loading roller suspended above the food bowl, the biggest advantage is clean and sanitary, safe and healthy, independent use.
Spherical and tumbler-type food leakage products generally have three problems during use:
The saliva is overflowing and stained with dirt.
Lowering the head all the time is not good for the bones, and the nose may lose hair (the egg is bald).
Leaky products or dog food may fall into the crevices and need the owner's help to pick them up.
This product perfectly eliminates the above problems: fixed place of use, fixed standing hand pulling method, the dog food that falls out also falls into the fixed bowl, from now on, say goodbye to eating dirt, hair and bacteria, and always keep clean and hygienic.
◇ Detachable roller
The grain loading drum can be disassembled, so that the grain loading is simple, the feeding amount is large, and the grain loading can be quantified.
Non-detachable food leakage products may encounter the following embarrassing situations.
The two halves of this small bowl are separated, and a large amount of food can be poured directly into it, which is super convenient.
Large capacity, half a bowl can hold about 160 G of food, enough to meet the needs of medium and large dogs for a meal, no need to repeat the process of adding food.
It has a scale and needs to be fed quantitatively, which can save the time of weighing dog food every time.
❀ Simple to clean
This product has only three parts, easy to disassemble, cleaning is very simple! The material is not easy to leave dirt, and can be washed with clean water or detergent (not in the dishwasher).
Try it for two and a half weeks, and it's as white as new.
The two halves are separated, drying is super fast, and there is no damp dead angle.
During the two and a half weeks of trying this slow food bowl, the egg boy found individual problems and attached the solutions he had worked out. If a small partner encounters a similar situation, it can be used for reference. All methods may not be appropriate, welcome to leave a message under this report for discussion and common reference!
The problem of the size of grain output
Problem: The grain outlet of this product can be adjusted, but there are only two gears. It is not small to adjust the size to half a mouth, but also to two mouths. Eggs are fed with a mixture of two kinds of dog food on weekdays. The diameter of the large particles is 1 cm, and the diameter of the small particles is 7 mm, while the diameter of the grain outlet of this product is 2 cm, as shown in the figure.
As a result, too much dog food is produced at one time, and it will be scattered everywhere. The scene is very spectacular. Instead, the dog eats faster and crazier, and the effect of slow food is greatly reduced.
Solution: ① Large plugging method: put several large snacks at the same time, the size is basically the same as the grain outlet.
Effect: Pro-test effective, can be rated three stars, while increasing the attractiveness of the rolling grain more exciting!
② Adhesive tape sticking method: use a section of adhesive tape to seal the grain outlet to the required size.
Effect: Four-star effect, greatly reducing the rate of food, but it is easy to be cracked by smart dogs (eggs have learned to tear off the tape first), and it is not very hygienic.
③ Routine method: Put a leaky food ball with appropriate size in the roller, double leaky food.
Effect: Five-star effect, very difficult, very time-consuming, full of interest, egg love to use. However, the requirements for equipment are too high, and the advantage of convenient use of this product is lost, for reference only.
※ If the particle diameter of dog food or snack is more than 1.5 cm, it is recommended to select the half-mouth gear, and this problem will not exist!
❀ Noise problem
Problem: The noise during the use of this product is not small! The sound of scratching, the sound of rolling, the sound of moving, that is called a sound to the ear …
Solution: Please be sure to place this product against a wall or a corner, and put it on a placemat (a towel is better if it is not too ugly). Although it can not completely eliminate the sound, it can reduce a lot, and it can also prevent skidding. It is effective!
This is not the first time I have chosen the petmate brand. Although the price of this rolling food bowl is slightly expensive and the cost performance is average, it is in line with my expectations for the quality of this brand. Material tasteless, wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, anti-fall, two weeks of trial, no wear, no teeth marks, no dirt, perfect details, easy to use, if the method is appropriate, the slow food effect is very good!
The efficacy of this product as a slow food bowl is still far greater than a toy! The official website of petmate classifies this product in the category of "feeding utensils", which is also marked in the product instructions. Small partners who prefer toys can refer to the following points:
① The size and weight are not small. The net weight of the roller is 168 G. Cat owners, mini dogs and small legs need to be considered.
② Not able to kill time, the way of food is single, the entertainment is general, the intelligence is basically second, the impatient dog can be overturned at once, for the purpose of accompanying and relieving boredom or for feeding snacks need to be considered.
③ It should not be used for a long time. Noise will make the dog irritable. In addition, it is not comfortable to use it for a long time because it always scratches with nails and stands on three legs.
There are advantages and disadvantages, but this product is just right for the egg boy at this stage: three meals a day, each meal is small, can be slow eating, exercise by the way (but also to give the host a quiet time to eat), is now used every day, I like it very much! If you have the same situation, don't miss this product!
※ This product is suitable for indoor use. Due to the dark weather, the indoor shooting effect is not good, so some pictures are taken outdoors to avoid misleading. We hereby declare that please understand.
