I figured maybe Kona was just having an off day. So the next weekend I brought it to my sister's place.
Her German Shepherd, Bear, is just as bad — a notorious gulper she'd given up trying to slow down.
We filled the CalmBowl and set it down. Bear attacked it the same way Kona did.
Same result. The plate spun, the food moved, and that 90-lb gulper actually slowed down for the first time in his life.
My sister stood there with her mouth open. "Where did you get that?"
By the end of the visit, she'd ordered two.
That's when I knew it wasn't luck. It wasn't Kona having a weird day. It was the mechanism. A rotating plate works on any smart dog — because there's nothing to outsmart.
Trust me, I don't say this often after three failures: the CalmBowl is the real deal.
