For the Doodle Who Gulps Their Food

[Adrianne Matzkin]

Charli eats her dinner in 2.5 seconds flat! Well, not really that fast but pretty darn close. Sometimes she eats so fast or drinks water so fast that when she burps she vomits. I am also afraid of bloat. I have been on a quest for something to slow her down other than my hand feeding her. I found that something today.

 

Dinner tonight took Charli app. 7 minutes to eat!  I actually heard her chew kibble! I know, it was only 1 dinner but so far I am impressed.

 

Does anyone else use this? Any other suggestions?

I have a gulper, which leadsd to smelly toots. He just picks the ball up and removes it, then continues gulping. We found the best thing is to just dump his kibble out on the floor, on a large place mat, and he has to pick up each kibble one at a time. Works well to slow him down and not nearly as many room clearing smells.

Well than maybe it is a good thing that piggy Starlit dumps her food before she eats. Maybe she is smarter than I thought :)

Good idea Todd. You and my Starlit think alike.

I use a can. Just a simple can of corn or whatever. It works pretty well, so I assume that would work as well, if not better.

I have seen this and have been trying to decide...we've had to slow both doodles down. Evan taking the dish away for a second to two. So, this might be the way to go.
