The AiKiou has been designed by Kathleen Desrosiers, a Canadian veterinarian technician. this new version has several new features including an easier to fill centre wheel and adjustable toecaps. It can contain up to 3 cups of food and can be used by small and big dogs who will use their tongues to get the food out of the different openings. First released in 2009, it can be found in different countries around the world and has since the beginning been praised by dog trainers as one of the best feeders for dogs. Not only does it help reduce the speed of ingestion, it also helps with weight control and reduce dog anxiety by having them do an intellectual activity and spend more energy.
