Do slow feeders work for every dog?

Most dogs eat more slowly with a ridged feeder, but very impatient dogs sometimes walk away from dense mazes. Shallow ridges tend to work for a broader range of eaters.

Will grooming content include medical claims?

No. We avoid diagnosis or treatment-style dog health content and point to a vet for anything beyond routine home care.
