Oh funny. My dog doesn't, but there are toys out there that can hold a cup of food, and the dog pushes it around so the food falls out. Premier makes one:

This is great, my dog loves it. I don't use it all the time but it makes them work for their food.

I think this product has eggs in it (or maybe it's barley) and is one item on his allergy list. It's not high on the list on allergies, but I'm trying to avoid all on his list.

I almost only feed my dog in some sort of food ball. We have several differnt types. It start when we first got her and she was extremely under weight from being neglected and we needed to slow down her eating. She also didn't understand what toys we're or how to play with them. So the food balls were a double win for us to use. We still use them because is provides mental stimulation. I have found stores like tjmaxx, marshals, and home goods tend to carry different types of food type balls at extremely good prices

Those balls are great. I bought it because my dog is a gulper and I have a mortal fear of dog bloat. I only stopped using it every day because I'm worried about my new hardwood floor - now I have a ceramic bowl designed to make them eat more slowly. But my dog enjoys these so I have to find a compromise.

My 2 dogs are on Blue - Large Breed, Chicken and Brown Rice Formula and we mix in some canned - Blue, variations of the stews, ie - Shepherd's Pie, Back Yard BBQ, etc. So far, so good.
