Hi,

Before getting the bowl with posts you can try putting thigs in the bowl with the food. Maybe a kong or other washable toy, I used a lacrosse ball, they eat around the toy and slow down!!

You can also try a cupcake tin or two. Fill each cup with some food and your pup has to go from one cup cake whole to the next to eat!! Also slows them down.

Eleveated or not that is up to you!! Winslow eats off the floor but I know others who raise the bowls.
