www.dogpausebowl.com/ - Long Tail Pet Products Noel Stevens, 303-991-1976 noel@longtailpet.com Long Tail Pet Products, LLC, of Evergreen, Colo., is now selling DogPause -- The Healthy Dog Bowl -- online and at select pet boutiques and national retailers(a). The DogPause dog bowl is a simple, yet critical, tool to ensure pets properly digest their food.
"While advances have been made in what dogs are being fed -- from organic to raw diets -- little attention has been given to how dogs eat," said John Funk, president of Long Tail Pet Products. "Our bowl redefines what it means for a dog to 'eat healthy.'"
Recommended by vets and proven in clinical trials, the bowl's design slows eating to reduce effects of fast-eating such as choking, vomiting, gas and even life-threatening bloat(b). The dog bowl's four feeding zones serve as SlowZones(TM) that reduce the dog's ability to gulp down food quickly, and also provide an integrated means of portion control as each SlowZone is half a cup in size.
"As a vet, I like to see products that are natural, safe and extremely effective in promoting canine health. DogPause can decrease canine anxiety, and reduce the negative effects of fast eating," said Doug Hill, DMV, a Colorado veterinarian at Golden Animal Hospital.
"A hidden benefit of the DogPause dog bowl is helping dog owners realize just how much food their dog is receiving. Obesity is a huge problem in the pet population. The divided bowl helps dog owners better recognize and manage the amount of food they are giving their dog." said Brad Middlebrooks, DVM, at Woodman Drive Animal Hospital in Dayton, Ohio.
In independent clinical trials, DogPause slowed down dogs by an average of 50 percent compared to a typical bowl. Popular breeds notorious for fast eating, such as Labrador retrievers and Rottweilers, were slowed down an average of 70 percent. "Many dog owners are concerned with how fast their dog eats and there's definitely a need for this type of product," said Debbie Dempsey, owner of Mouthfuls in Denver, Colo. "The design and quality of this bowl is first-rate, and we're excited to be one of the first retailers carrying the bowl."
