What should I do if my dog eats too fast?
Solutions to the problem of dogs eating too fast
1. Eat at regular intervals
You can eat at regular intervals. Quantity is to ensure the nutritional needs of the dog and to avoid physical discomfort caused by excessive intake of food. Timing is to allow the dog to gradually adapt to the regular eating time and gain a psychological sense of security.
2. Help dogs eat slowly
Slow food bowl: Because of its unique design, the slow food bowl can help dogs eat too quickly. After using the slow food bowl, the eating speed increased from about ten seconds to about two minutes.
3. Appropriately intervene in the dog's eating process
Let the dog sit down in front of the rice bowl and give the command "fix" or "wait" at the same time. Let the dog remain in a sitting position until we give the release command "eat". When the dog is eating, we can give the "stop" command to get the dog's head and mouth away from the food bowl and return to a sitting position until we give the "eat" command again.
