Baxter the golden retriever eats his dinner in an unusual way

My golden retriever had a tendency to gulp his food. At first, I fed him using a Brake-Fast bowl (it has bumps in the bottom), but then I found this food ball. He loves it!

Cut extra long for my nephew, who likes to watch videos of my dog. I thought a longer video might be nice for his parents, who won't be asked for a new video after 30 seconds. Oh, and Page's piano solo in the middle was to fantastic to cut, too.

The ball, called the Kibble Nibble, is made by Premier and it's part of their Busy Buddy line of toys. Baxter has a Buster Cube, but I use that for treats since it's so hard to get things out of it. The Kibble Nibble has large, round openings so a good amount of kibble comes out with each roll.

The Kibble Nibble write up also says it appeals to dogs' prey/stalking drive since it makes them chase and work for their food.
