The slow feeder dog bowl market is saturated with unsubstantiated "10x slower eating" claims that contradict peer-reviewed scientific research. The only published study measuring slow feeder effectiveness (Buckley & Lees, 2016, Veterinary Evidence) found dogs eat 2-3 times slower with slow feeders, not 10 times slower—representing a 700% exaggeration by numerous brands selling on Amazon, Chewy, and pet retail platforms.
