Ever since I switched my dogs back to kibble one of them has been eating super fast. 1/2 cup a food in less than a minute. I started feeding him out of a muffin tin. At first, he was confused but now he eats all his kibble in less than a minute after 3/4 days. He picks/knocks balls out of his bowl, doesn't do treat balls (just chews in frustration), and I can't fathom hand feeding him for forever. What's a girl to do?
Re: Pet people
I bought my rescue dog a bowl that makes him slow down. It has different sections.
Do you feed the dogs out of the same bowl? Is one dog harassing the other one when it's meal time?
Both of my cats bully each other on occasion causing the "victim" to hurry up and eat to avoid the offender. Two bowls didn't fix the situation so we just try to monitor them when we're home.
Put it in a bowl with water so it gets partly soggy, then freeze it in a Kong. If you don't want him to take quite that long to eat, you could pull it out of the freezer an hour or so before he eats so it thaws a bit, but it'll still require him to slow down.
This is the problem with smart dogs, man. Outsmarting muffin tins just to spite you!
Ahh sorry... stupid PIP. Here is a link, it doesn't slow my dog down to normal speed, but it has slowed him down a bit.

You just described my dogs. The female inhales her food. I don't think she stops to breathe. The male dog acts like it's a 4 course meal. He takes a bite, looks around, chews, takes a bite, lifts his head, repeat, repeat. It takes him forever to finish.
