Most often, dogs eat food greedily and quickly because of their past: for example, when the dog lived on the street for a long time, where he acquired the habit of stuffing his belly for future use.
This situation is also familiar to owners of two or more animals - each of them can exhibit competitive feeding behavior in order to have time to eat not only their own food, but also take some from their “comrade”.
Greedy consumption of food is unsafe for a dog: it is fraught with the appearance of belching, nausea, vomiting, bloating, etc.
How to stop a dog from eating too fast
Let's start with a situation in which the owner has to deal with several pets at once. Dogs should be fed separately, in different rooms, to avoid rivalry.
Special bowls for slow food consumption will also come to the rescue - they are made of plastic, do not tip over and have some kind of partitions inside that prevent the dog from grabbing food in large portions.
If you don't want to spend money on such interactive bowls, you can divide and distribute the usual portion into several bowls.
If these methods do not work, place the bowl on a low table or chair. This will force the dog to rest its front paws on the raised surface, causing its esophagus to become almost vertical, which will at least reduce the amount of air it swallows.
