Woman Throws Shade At Her Dog After Pooch Refused To Work For His Food

A woman has thrown shade at her dog who would rather starve than work for his food.

The woman is said to have replaced her dog's standard bowl with a puzzled-shaped one in order to stimulate his mind, but after just one meal, she realised her dog wasn't at all interested in eating out of his new bowl.

According to the picture shared on Reddit, she wrote: “Apparently my dog would rather starve than work for his food. Maybe your dog is smarter.”

The picture has so far received more than 600 upvotes and numerous comments from dog owners who have all tried out a puzzle bowl on their pets.

One user said: “I just got this exact bowl for my dog. I got tired of him inhaling his dinner. We’ve had it one night, and I’m loving it! I got an extra one for when we eat at my parent's.”

Another user said: “My auntie's bull terrier is a total darling and is very gentle. She also has one of these bowls but she just scoops the food equally as fast with her tongue and chomps it down violently before going belly up.”

A third user said: “We have this exact one for our puppy that would finish his dog food in seconds.”

“The first few times he used it, he would walk in a circle trying to get food and when he couldn’t get any he would get frustrated and just paw at it until it flipped.”

“He’s nine months now and still uses it to eat.”

Puzzle bowls have been effective in providing pets with obstacles to navigate in order to reach their food - and can help dogs slow their eating and increase the feeling of fullness.

The Real Risks: Weighing Vaccine Side Effects vs. Deadly Diseases

Some dog owners express concern about vaccine risks. Meanwhile, preventable diseases continue to pose a documented threat. For example, a two-year pause in dog rabies vaccination campaigns in Haiti resulted in a five to eightfold increase in animal rabies cases within a single year, creating a public health crisis that required an emergency response. This event illustrates a central fact: the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases are quantifiably greater than the known risks associated with vaccination. This article will address concerns about vaccine safety by examining the precise nature of both vaccine risks and disease threats, using verifiable data to support informed decision-making for your dog's health. The Biological Impossibility of Canine Autism The claim that vaccines cause autism in dogs is not supported by veterinary science due to fundamental biological reasons.

5 Must-Ask Questions Before You Leave Your Dog at the Groomer

A 2022 study in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior noted that over 50% of dogs show signs of stress during grooming. While severe physical injuries are less common, a single preventable incident is one too many. Cases like those in Louisiana, where dogs received ocular chemical burns from misused shampoo at a licensed facility, demonstrate that a groomer’s marketing claims are not a guarantee of safety. Your dog’s well-being depends on the protocols you cannot see. The only way to evaluate them is to ask direct, specific questions. The goal is not to create conflict, but to identify competence and build trust based on transparent practices. 1. “What is your exact step-by-step protocol for protecting my dog’s eyes during the bath?” The difference between a safe groom and a dangerous one lies in the specifics of execution.
