I got this for my Rottweiler. It was much bigger than I expected (even for him!) but I like the shape, material and it does slow down his eating HOWEVER I agree completely with some previous reviews. It is very difficult to clean well (I don't have a dish washer) and it tips over far too easily (its unexpected size means I can't even find an oven dish big enough to put it in). Feedback to manufacturer: Put it in a bowl shaped type dish with a heavy bottom AND sell it with a free cleaning brush!

My Labrador loved this and tried to get his kibble with such gusto he scrubbed fur off his lower jaw and gave himself a callus. I now use only occasionally and it is fine but doesn't help stop him gobbling his food the rest of the time.

Our dog figured out the trick to get the food out of this one pretty much immediately. All she does is pull one of the stalks with her paw and sooner or later everything just falls out onto the floor, at which point she just 'hoovers' it all up. We tried putting it in a box so that she couldn't pull it over. Result? She broke the box to bits! It still takes her longer to eat than when she has a normal dog bowl, but using one of those balls that lets out dry food bit by bit as they roll around makes her meal take longer still.
