I have a 18 lb mini aussie who eats predominantly wet food. Which bowl would be best?

It would probably be okay since your dog has a longer narrower snout than my French Bulldog. She just looked at it and walked away, would not even try to eat her dry dog food. So I sent it back.

Try looking up the Kyjen website for a video or direct help. I'd suggest the spiral bowl to make it easier for you to add the food (or clean up!) and still challenge your pup.

My doxie is all about her food and she loves the flowered bowl and no it's not to big for a 6 month old puppy, remember she's going to get bigger. I also have a mid size chihuahua who was a super fussy eater and since I've gotten him the bowl, he has enjoyed eating and has managed it without a problem.

I have medium for a yorkie mix, I think small would work fine for your needs. These are nice bowls, I have two and got medium so she has plenty of water throughout the day. She is 16 lbs. and a hyper beast that drinks a lot.

This is probably too late to help you, but I thought this orange bowl was exceptionally hard for my rat terriers to eat from (I have two, both around 15 pounds). Even though they have "pointy" snouts, the channel is very narrow and the sides are absolutely straight, and their tongues just barely reached the kibble. I now have the pink (flower) one and the blue (drop) one and both work well. For my dogs, the pink is the preferred bowl. They can reach the kibble, but the pink one slows them down more than the blue one.

I bought one for my black lab that ate her 2cups of food in less than 30s. This bowl is fantastic for dry food, but I don't think it would work well for wet food. The grooves are quite deep and are designed for dry food

I chose mine based on color, lol. My dog is orange and white so I picked the orange bowl. :-) I would say realistically, though, the more squiggles and valleys the bowl has, the slower your dog is going to eat. So if he or she eats REALLY fast, I would pick one that's very "busy". Just my humble opinion. :-) Good luck! ~ Theresa ~

I think if you go into pet club or pet co with a sample of your bowl you could get another like it.Good luck

You can get either the medium or large. I have the large one for my German Shepherd (100 pounds), Husky (65 pounds), terrier mix and husky mix (both about 55 pounds) and Jack Russell (20 pounds). I use it for water only and all of them drink from the bowls.

I would recommend either the large or extra large size. The bowls are a good size.

no, i have three large dogs and this was the worst bowl i have owned. very hard to clean the inside and the bowl collects dirt. gave up on it and bought the dogit bowl and absolutely love it. the water flow is such that the dirt collects at the bottom and the water is pumped up through the bowl. the dogs take longer to get a drink and there is no more water slopped on the floor or dripping from their mouths. much better choice.

I will recommend the Short one. For a Puppy they might try to step on the taller one and chances are that they can flip it. I have a Golden Retriever and she is 4 months now.. we have been using the stand and the bowl rom day 1 of her arrival(we recieved her at 8 weeks age). She has no issues using it and the short one is not that short. For a puppy it might be difficult reaching the bottom of the bowl in the tall one. for a Welsh Terrier short one would be the best in my opinion

I don't know what the best is really. I use the Keen with my two 18 month old Aussies and they seem to like it. I mix it with one other dehydrated food, a little canned, a raw egg and dry kibbles. So far they are happy and healthy, so I guess it's good for them.

My bowls are 6" bone is 3", I have no idea if it is the small, or medium. I have Shelties, so a long snout is just right for this item. It did slow them down dramatically.

The small bowl works great for my miniature schnauzer, has really slowed her down.

I have a German Shepard with a long snout and a smaller version of this, because she only drinks smaller amounts of water at a time while hiking. The flexibility of the bowl allows for her to access the water fairly easy, as you can hold it for them and the material lets the water lay in the bowl in such a way that she wastes very little. I would say this size would be good if your dog will drink a lot and with a shorter nose there should be no issue regarding the accessibility to the water. You just may have to hold the bowl so all the water collects in a corner when it gets low. I really like it. Easy to carry; compact.

I've been grabbing some very cheap SS pet bowls from the dog section of a local discount store. I have cats, but the dog bowls are big and deep enough to hold the fountain and still provide room to drink. Anything made for pets will be designed with a wide flat bottom and will be resistant to tipping. You don't want to use something like a SS mixing bowl. Bergan makes some nice inexpensive ones.

I think you'd be better off with the medium, unless the kibble size is extremely small. I used the small when my dog ate kibble the size of a pea. You can also cut the inside prongs (there are 3-4) and to let the food out a little faster. Hope that helps.
