Does it work well with larger sized kibble? I have an English Bulldog and her food is large to help encourage her to chew it.

I do not know how large your kibble is? I actually have the flower design. The tunnels are about 3/4" wide if that helps. I feed Iams Premium Performance (regular kibble) and the kibble could easily be larger than that.

We have the drop style. The grooves are .75 inches wide. So you should check you kibble size or consider the hills style. It looks like the grooves are wider.

I have the flower shaped bowl and measured the channels. They range from about a half an inch to 1 inch in places and 2 inches at the wide ends of the petals. The center of the flower is about an inch and a half deep. If the only reason you are feeding large kibble is for her to chew it, you could switch to smaller in this bowl. She has no choice but to slow down.

not sure, seems like it would. the sections/valleys which house the food are from about 1 1/4 to 2 3/4 inches deep and about 1 inch wide. hope this helps. the dish itself is about 10 1/2 x 8 inches.

yes, that is not a problem. I have used the small kibble and the larger bites. both work.

I have used two sizes of dog food--two different dogs--both adult labs. Neither of them chew their food, however they went from about 15 seconds--honest-- to about 15-20 minutes. The larger dog food that we used could be compared to a large blueberry. Sorry, that is the only comparison I can think of. Good luck.

I am not sure, I have a Beagle with medium sized food. But i do think the large bowl size would work for you, it is made for big dogs and there food. It is so worth trying!

Keep in mind, I'm only commenting on the puppy food. I do believe they have adult dog food in large kibble size for that specific purpose. This one is just the puppy food.

Yes, the kibble size is small. I think it would be fine for a small breed dog. It's about 3/8 of an inch in size.

I have a dog the same size, beagle mix, and she seems okay with it. It doesn't work consistently but it doesn't seem to bother her either.

usually it works very well. Chances could be that the other dogs wanted to play OR saw her as small animal prey. The dog it was originally bought for is a little pitbull mix, about 40 lbs and it really scares him and he stops the minute he sees it. Other dogs seem put off by it too ... certainly worth buying to try it.

I would say that the kibble size is approximate if not slightly larger than the eraser head of a pencil. It was great for our Akita's when they were puppies, but we switched them to kibble that was slightly larger now that they are older.

I'm in the - not sure camp. I have Chihuahua's with various snout/muzzle sizes. It is definitely harder for the shorter muzzle Chi's. Part also depends on food motivation & obliviously a longer tongue does help. BTW, I have the flower bowl. I've also bought the Nina Ottosson dog toys (tornado, the brick & dogmagic) & used them at meal time to slow eating. In some ways I like those better because it makes my dog work for their food.

Yes, I have an English Bulldog with a very thick, wrinkly neck and he responds to this just fine. You may need to try out different number settings to see which is better for your pooch, but it does work on my bulldog. I would recommend.

It has a feature that lets you set the kibble size, so any size should be okay.

I have a 6 month old Chihuahua mix puppy who weighs 12 pounds, and is super food motivated. She is an aggressive chewer and most toys don't last long! The packaging says you might need to go a size up for aggressive chewers. I got the Small Extreme Kong and it works well for her. She is CRAZY about it.

very good made like it a lot...but I have a yorkie it is a perfect size for him.He has room to move around I don't think your bulldog would.

If your kibble is too big, you can trim the rubbery bits to fit your dog's kibble. I needed to do that (for my Taste of the Wild kibble) and that it fits, my dog adores it.

It was recommended I get this size for my English Bulldog (the 42x28x31). It's larger than I thought. But with a Rhodesian, I'd recommend the largest (48x30x33).

I think the bowl will work for any size pup unless it's teeny tiny like a chihuahua... I do have to say that the more complex bowls work better than the simple ones to slow them down... you could also get the ball that you put in the dish to try, but for my dog, these "maze-type" dishes have made a big difference in her eating... she has basset/am bulldog... and she's all about her food!

I used it on my 12kg miniature schnauzer and it worked well - only complain is the bulkiness. Especially the strap at the front shoulder, it is quite thick and broad and it does seem to press against the throat whenever my dog gets very excited - check out from other bulldog owner whether this is an issue as bulldog has a large neck (if not wrong). The harness is really well-make but slightly cost so if you can, try to get a fitting in a pet shop if the shop allow or make sure there is free return without having to pay for return postage. Hope the above answer helps

My dogs are all huge sonthis size is good for me. Look on Amazon or gondirectly to Goughnuts site to see if they make extra small. It took more than a year before I had to send mine in for free replacement and I have a shepherd/rottie mix and a Chessie and they have big,destructive mouths and these toys hold up to them. I think if they make a smaller size you will be glad you bought it.

The adult large breed has larger pieces of food. I have a German Shepard and she has to chew on the pieces.
