My dog eats fast after new food. Should I use a slow feeder?
Eating fast is ok. Gobbling food in 10 seconds flat is not ok. I am being a little silly, but if you think that Hazel is eating too fast, there is nothing wrong with getting a special bowl to slow her down!

Do slow feeder bowls help fast eaters with digestion & bloat?
The main purpose is to help slow down eating, but it does help in other ways too. When dogs eat too fast, they can gulp a lot of air. Slowly down their eating leads to less gulping of air, cutting down on burping and the potential of developing bloat.

My overweight dog eats too fast. Is a puzzle bowl okay for big dogs?
It's good that it's slowed down her eating! That is ok she can only reach one morsel at a time, she will get eat kibble up eventually. This will keep her from gobbling down her food to fast, and lead to her feeling full. I'd keep using it. I hope this helps!

My dog eats food too fast. Is it normal? What are the health risks?
Thanks for using PetCoach! It is definitely common for puppies especially to eat like it’s a race! There isn’t generally any problem with it except that Brixy may be more likely to regurgitate that meal right back up (looking almost the same!) If you’d like to try and slow her down, consider a puzzle bowl like this, or a slow feeding toy like this https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/kong-wobbler-food-dispensing-dog-toy Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Brixy!

Why does my dog eat too fast and throw up? Wet food or slow feeder?
Many dogs gulp or bolt their food. It’s a common issue. Continue to use the special feeder. You could also look for kibble that is disc shaped or has a hole in the center as this will slow Zeke down as well as force him to chew more. You could also switch from a bowl to a food ball dispenser. He will have to roll the ball around the get the kibble to come out and this will definitely slow things down. Canned food may help because he has to lick rather than grab. Every dog is different. Some dogs do great on canned food while others don’t. Just make sure to slowly switch the diet and to feed he proper amount. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
