How to slow down a fast eater
Gulping food can lead to discomfort. A few small changes make mealtimes calmer.
Why pets eat too fast
Some pets eat quickly out of habit, excitement or competition with other pets in the home.
Eating fast means swallowing air, which may cause discomfort or bringing food back up.
Simple ways to help
Feed pets in separate spaces so nobody feels rushed.
Split the daily portion into two or three smaller meals.
Use a slow feeder bowl. The raised ridges turn each meal into a gentle puzzle.
When to see a vet
If your pet often vomits, loses weight or seems in pain after eating, speak to your vet.
