I was wondering are there bowls out there that his ears wont go into?

if style and looks are important check out the post by Jerseygirl on long eard dog bowls if you want just utilitary Ask any pet shop for a Stainless Steel Spaniel Bowl Thy are bowl best describe as shaped like a valcano round pyrimidal shape the to is smaller diameter than the base and very effective in keep ears out of bowl I would avoid plastic food bowl because the incidend of plastic food bowl dermatis it quite high.

What's plastic food bowl dermatitis? Beyond inflammation of the skin caused by plastic

pretty much nailed it though there is a school of though that platic easily gets roughed up and the scratches etc harbor bacteria that cause the problem. It is not a hugh deal but easily avoid by not using plastic.

he eats it so fast and drinks so fast i just want him to slow down a little.

good luck the do make food dishes to do this , feed from a tray rathe than a bowl if feeding kibble makes the dog work more as well. What i find helpful is a stick food like squah or canned pumpkin not simply dollup on top but the opposit but the canned vegitabll in first and push the kipple into it. it acts like a glue sticking the kibble to the bowl making the basset hovvering without vhewing kibble more dificult. Larger size kibble can help as well as long as it large enouhghj that requires the dog to chew rather than swallow whole.
