Didn't work for my dog
This insert was supposed to help my speedy eater, but my dog just flipped it out of the bowl. The suction isn't strong enough for an energetic chewer. Disappointed with how easily it came out.

Customer reviews
What customers say: Highly effective for slowing down quick eaters and adding mental enrichment; however, kibble can occasionally get stuck or the insert dislodged by energetic dogs.
★★★★★
Slowed down mealtime significantly
Our golden retriever always ate too fast, leading to upset stomachs. This Basalt Gray insert, size Medium, has been a fantastic addition to his bowl. It really makes him work for his food, taking almost five times longer to finish. Plus, it's super easy to clean in the dishwasher. A definite win for our furry friend.
★★★★☆
Good, but a bit tricky
The Basalt Gray silicone is easy to clean and fits well in our existing Basecamp Bowl. It definitely makes our terrier eat slower, but sometimes a few kibbles get stuck in the deepest crevices.
★★★★★
Excellent quality insert
The silicone is food-safe and very durable, making it easy to wash.
★★★★☆
Mostly effective slow feeder
This Basalt Gray insert does a great job of slowing down our lab's eating habits. He used to gulp everything down in seconds, but now it takes him a few minutes. Sometimes the larger kibble pieces get a bit stuck, though.
