Puppies are especially prone to eating too much, too quickly, and in too large quantities. Slow feed bowls are a great way to ensure their stomach is not upset while still providing them with some stimulation while they feed with their paws.

The model was successfully printed with a layer height of0.2 mm, filling rate 30%. If your dog continues to escape into the bowl, you can try again and add weight with more filler, but be prepared to use a lot of filament.
