Eating Too Fast!

_Crystal_ · 01-03-2012, 03:00 PM

Our puppy gets about 1 1/2 cups of food twice a day... and he eats it within 30 seconds or less. How do I get him to slow down? I'm worried that eventually as we increase the amount of food he'll get sick and throw up once he is done eating. So I really need him to slow down! Any Tips?

Buy him a Brake Fast Bowl.

If it is kibble, spread it out on the floor. You can use an old plastic or vinyl table cloth to spread it on if you don't want it on the floor.
Another thing is to give him 1 cup 3 times a day.

Thanks for the suggestions

And yes it is dry kibble.

The Brake Fast bowl is a better permanent solution but until you get one you can spread it out.

Okay thanks. I'll spread it on the floor until I get the brake fast bowl.

I bought a old heavy glass jello mold at an antique mall for $3. Works like a charm.
Like this one..looks like I got mine for a steal :-)
