I have read several posts about ways to slow your puppy/dog down when they're eating. As a new owner (Sammy's 5 mos old now and growing everyday!!!) I want to do what's best and, of course, really don't know what that is.
We feed her twice/day. She is so in tune with her schedule and gets calm/relaxed before meal time as we didn't want a "crazed" dog jumping, etc for her food. She sits politely until we set the bowl down and waits till we say her name before she POUNCES! And it's like an NBA ref couting the seconds down until she's done.
Can eating too fast cause her stomach to "flip" (??????) i think that's what it's called. And it's deadly to dogs. Most never recover if their stomachs "flip" I guess my question is there must be health problems associated with it or else there wouldn't be so many posts about how to slow your dog down?
Any advice at all is welcomed and appreciated.
