My dog eats too fast and then vomits. How can I slow him down?

[]

Answer

Eating too fast, also known as 'scarf and barf,' can lead to vomiting, gastric upset, or in very rare and severe cases, bloat. To slow your dog down, consider using a slow-feeder bowl with ridges or obstacles that force them to eat smaller amounts at a time. Alternatively, you can scatter their food over a wide, clean surface, or use puzzle toys that dispense food gradually. Feeding smaller, more frequent meals can also help. Monitor your dog for other digestive symptoms, and speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
