I have two Havanese puppies who are currently 4.5 and 5.5 pounds - would these slo-bowls be too large for them to use?

The bowl itself is pretty shallow. They should be able to eat out of it just fine.

They're pretty big, but if they have problems with eating too fast this will definitely slow them down! I don't think it would have any negatives except maybe taking up more space than you want to.

The nowl is about the size of a dinner m plate and about a half an inch high. I think I would be Ok. In the morning I only put a half a cup of food in and spread it out.

It is low to the floor which is good, however has depth. It may be too big and frustrate them more then encourage. I have a 22 lb dog and it is good for his size.

I think this bowl would be fine for puppies. While they are small you can put their food on the outer areas and as they grow, you can fill the whole feeder. The dimensions are 10.5"across and 2" at its highest point in the center. It's 1.5" at its outer edge. Another good feature- it has a gripper type edge that holds the bowl in place. I am very pleased with this bowl. I think the "flower" shape works the best to slow down eating.

Yes, they would get way too hot in the sun. I live in SoCal, I shade my dogs outdoor water bowls to keep them cool. If not an option, I'd suggest light colored ceramic bowl

Yes I have a chihuahua mix that is 14 in long and weighs 13 lbs he fits with room to spare. Should be fine for pups.

I've used the quart size for my Standard Poodle since he was 12 weeks old, and he loves them. Beware, however, that you will need to place them on a non-skid mat; otherwise, the bowls will slide.

I think he'll be just fine, especially since he is a puppy. One of my dogs is just over 20 pounds and she does great with them. More important than the size of the dog would be the condition of his teeth and the strength of his bite. Since yours is a puppy, these may work until he needs the larger size. Another option is to buy the larger size and just give him half a stick. They break easily.

I guess if your dog is tall enough you could, but they need to be able to move around the feeder to get to everything. I have a labradoodle (~60 lbs), and placing the feeder up that high proved too high for her to get to the food. Some of the 'blades of grass' on the feeder are about 3 inches, and her snout doesn't fit in between so she has to use her tongue to get to the food. I have to say though, this is the 3rd slow down bowl I've had and she cannot eat too fast no matter how hard she tries to!

I was measure the bowls and see what amazon or another site has. These seems to be a standard size so you might also find them at a pet store.

No. We have a puppy and use her small Pro Plan puppy food and cut up the Mini-Milk Bone treats so they will fit.

The bowl is very sturdy, but my dogs (15 pounds each) aren't chewers, so I can't be too much help on that score. I got two types of this bowl, and it has helped to slow them down and they seem to like them. I've had the bowls since before Christmas, we use them every day and the bowls still look like they are brand new.

I would not recommend it. I have a 6 pound Havanese and it barely has room. I would have to get a larger bag as he grows unfortunately.

I use mine on wood and on concrete when they eat outside. They slip once in a while if they are licking really hard at something stuck to the sides. My largest dog is 50#. I bought mine because my other stainless steel bowls would travel the whole room while they ate. Don't have that issue anymore. I am really pleased with these bowls and especially the price.

I have a 65 pound mix and a 55 pound Pitty and neither of them had any issues eating them. I think if your dog is okay eating things like kibble she'll be okay eating these, as they are at least 3 inches in length. Plus the dogs adore them!!

This bowl is probably way too big for that. The listed dimensions are 9.5 x 9.5 inches and 4 inches high, and is larger than the regular bowls we use for our Corgi. If you could find a smaller version it would be perfect though.

Yes, if they are a small dog. The cat that got this bowl weighs approx. 10 lbs and is a big cat.

I would think the large would give them too much room. My dogs are 30LBS and sometimes it gives them too much 'play room' would be too large

Surprisingly well, actually. We have three dogs weighing 100, 75, & 50 pounds and the bowls are placed on a wooden floor. They bowls weigh about 16 ounces, then add in the weight of the food and they really don't slide at all. Even after they finish their serving and the bowl is empty, when they check out the other bowls for remnants, they don't slide! I've had the bowls for a year and am very happy with my purchase.

I've noticed they are a bit larger. I have two large breed dogs and they love them. I have a mini schnauzer and she doesn't care for them.
