pans that have rubber to keep from moving (mostly) while they are eating. I used a plastic maze dish for Missy to slow her down, but it scooted as she ate, and it really didn't slow her down...she doesn't chew food, she enhales it! Food dishes go down only when they are eating and I put them up when they are finished. They always eat in the same place, but we keep two water bowls....one in our bedroom and one in the kitchen. Missy eats across the room from Chelsea and Chelsea eats next to my computer chair under a bench seat....like a cave. LOL! I have to be sitting next to her cave.
