I have two 5 lb Yorkies they dont eat much but the food is gone in seconds. Is this bowl too big for them?

This is a big bowl. More suitable for larger dogs. I thought they came in different sizes. This particular bowel has been life changing for my dog. Instead of inhaling his food in 5 seconds it now takes him 8 minutes.

Yes way to big my dog is about 35 lbs and it's perfect for her. You would Definelty need to check out the smaller options or you can even put a toy ball in the bowl to help slow them down or they sell these suction gadgets that you can place to the bottom of their bowls they come in 3 different sizes smallest would prob be best for you ! This way you save $ and it still does the job

Yes, I think it is. It is difficult for my 12 pound dachshund to get down into the crevices (hence the delay in eating) so I think you should look for one that is for a tiny doggie.

Well, with dogs that small, it might be a toss-up. Their snouts are small, and they might just be able to get down into the ridges to get the food. The bowl is a little over 10" in circumference and the ridges are wide and vary in depth to over an 1-1/2". I'm thinking one of the other less intricate designs might work better....even for Otis. He's still not "chewing" the kibble, but it is taking him at lot longer to get it in his mouth and then swallow.

I have a different type of food now so I can't look to give a size comparison, but my yorkie didn't have a problem with the size. I don't think it's specifically made for small dogs like some foods are.

It would depend on how much larger the kibbles are and how much your dog eats. A small dog eating small kibbles is likely to work. If you have a large dog it probably wouldn't work because the bowl size is too small.

Hi there...I believe it should be fine for your small yorkie. I made the purchase for my cocker spaniel and it was too small so your yorkie should be fine.

I just remove one bowl and use a scoop to fill bowl with food. Only thing I don't like is the water can get in the food if your dogs are sloppy drinkers, mine did not attend etiquette classes so they are sloppy drinkers!

I think this small one would work. My Yorkie is 2.5 lbs but she is skinny and long. It says it will fit up to 6 lbs and I believe that to be true.

I have medium for a yorkie mix, I think small would work fine for your needs. These are nice bowls, I have two and got medium so she has plenty of water throughout the day. She is 16 lbs. and a hyper beast that drinks a lot.

They're pretty big, but if they have problems with eating too fast this will definitely slow them down! I don't think it would have any negatives except maybe taking up more space than you want to.

Hello,The bowls are very big, but I don't now exactly how big. I'm sure they will be big enough for a mastiff. I have a Black Russian Terrier, which is a giant breed and those bowls are big for him - I feed him twice a day and never fill the bowls. I actually wish they were smaller, I put smaller bowls in the original ones.Otherwise I like this feeder very much, looks pretty good, stylish ( mine is pastel green with black).Hope that helps.

Depends. If they are in there to sleep and play there is enough time, but if you would like to include the food bowls and water, might be tight. I have a three pound Yorkie and I make it her home away from home apartment when we are out of town (with bedding, toys, food, water). All in all I really love how transportable it is.

We bought a large size and put 1 cup of large kernels in it. It fills up the bottom but we probably could have gotten by with a medium size. We bought it to slow our pups' eating down and it does so, at least some. If the food wasn't as spread out, it might not slow the eating down as much.

No - it is not very tall. I think it would be perfect for one or more cats, probably accommodating up to four cats. In order to work properly, you need to spread the food evenly inside the bowl and bumps so they will have to work at getting it out. The bumps are very smooth and my dogs love to lick those bumps even when the food is gone - so they do eat more slowly. This bowl has made all the difference. Also my dogs are small.

Absolutely. I have one eating out of it right now. Love it. Best dog bowl I've ever had.

The bowl holds about 1 quart. And it works to slow our gobbler down. She still attacks the food voraciously, but this bowl slows her down quite a bit, so it now takes her much longer to eat than it did with other bowls we have tried.

Hi there! We've had pugs previously and they are amazing! I wouldn't recommend this for pugs. I would probably try a slow feeder that is a little more open. Maybe the Eat Slow Bowl by Greedy Pup, which is also sold on Amazon. Hope this helps.

We bought the 3" for our 30lb adult corgi. Even that size is too big for her to get in her mouth (which she only tried until she figured out the point). It holds 1/2 her food, which allows us to add supplements to the other half of her food in the bowl.

This is the same. I have Yorkies and this is what I feed mine as well. They too love it.
