    @@PinkLemonade_1213 ahh ok that's perfect to know! If they measure at almost 2 feet at the shoulder, they're actually decently big, ha! Depending on the size of their face and snoot, I have a few to show you! One that I love for my girl Annie is this one from Trixie: amzn.to/3xjNOnB What's cool about it is you can adjust how much food comes out from the inside. That one's been great for my girl Annie and I know I did a full video showing 3 puzzles from Trixie and it's on there so definitely check that out for more info on it and to see if my dog is similar size to yours (since Annie measures about 24" at the shoulder too!). Another slow feeder that I love is this one from Neater Pets that's technically for their raised feeder but it is one of the BEST slow feeder bowls I have ever found: amzn.to/3VPqO9v I haven't done my full video on that feeder yet but I did do an entire blog post so definitely check that out on my website if you want to learn more about the bowl or the entire raised feeder in general. I don't think you need a raised feeder at all to use this bowl if you like it but if course it fits right in! Let me know what you think of those and if you want any more suggestions!!

    Something I mentioned in another comment to someone was it’s all about supervision. Some dogs are destructive and will do that while others won’t. What you can always do instead of switch out the toilet paper rolls for toys and put their food and have them find their treats or food around that! I used toilet paper rolls as an inexpensive option that people can try if they know their dog won’t digest Them. Since I never know who’s watching my videos or what their dog is like, I give many options for everyone!
