Hi all,

I was told that if your dog eats too fast, an inexpensive way to fix that is to put a can of, tuna, I think, closed of course, in the bowl and then the food.  The dog then has to make an effort to eat around the can which slows the eating down quite a bit.

If your bowl isn't big enough to use a can of tuna, just try to find a can that is short enough that he can reach the food, but smaller around than a tuna can.  

You might be able to find a tuna can that is a smaller size than I have ever seen, but it's a cheaper option and he can eat out of his regular bowl.
