Does anyone have any ideas how I can slow LuLu down when she eats her meals. She finished them in about 4 minutes flat. I think I am feeding her enough food but it just seems like she is starving. Any help would be appreciated! TIA

They make special bowls with dividers in them designed to slow them down. Image Attachment(s):

Re: Fast Eater
I've heard that if you put a tennis ball or other small-ish ball in their bowl it will slow them down because they kind of have to eat around it, KWIM?

Re: Fast Eater
Four minutes doesn't sound like a problem to me, is she getting sick after? We put Brinkley's Kong in his bowl to make him eat slower and he's still done in less than 2 minutes. But we don't have issues.
If you're worried about bloat, you should soak dry food for five minutes before feeding.

Re: Fast Eater
I have a yellow lab that eats way too fast, and gets sick after. We feed him half of it and an hour later or so feed him the other half. I also have been giving him ice cubes to curb him from drinking water so fast. He hasn't gotten sick in a week...so we will see :)

Re: Fast Eater
My pugs eat extremely fast. I feed them as soon as I get home from work and I can't even get off my shoes yet and they are already finished. It's crazy.

Re: Fast Eater
My dog does the same thing, but she doesn't get sick. The vet said not to worry about it unless she throws up afterwards
