Does anyone have any recommendations? Storm is a gulper. She eats about 50 grams of dog food in about 5 seconds. She gets hiccups a couple times a day!
We use a slow feeding bowl and he still gets hiccups...I read that puppies frequently get them. Ours is this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Joyoldelf-...9_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=AYKXZV2P2J107NAKQBGW
^^ I might have to purchase one of these for Loki too as like your dog @knees78 since switching his food he now pretty much inhales it!
My two had hiccups all the time as young pups, it's perfectly normal. I don't use a slow feeding bowl, but I pour water onto their biscuits before giving them (not soaked) and that slows them down. Shadow also has a self-slowing mechanism, in that he spreads his food everywhere and then has to hoover the biscuits from the surrounding area once he's done. I've heard some people just use a tray with the biscuits spread out on that to slow their dogs down.
Zaba has this one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Outward-Ho...id=1473949973&sr=1-3&keywords=slow+bowl+large He used to gulp so quickly he threw it all back up five minutes later. Now it takes him twice as long as the other dogs - they are certain he gets twice as much! ...
Don't feed Rory in a bowl just chuck it on a old bit of fleece let him hunt and work for it slowed him right down. Tried a few types of gobbler bowls but he either ate them or destroyed them. It worked really well and wash the fleece
Mine have this one and eat their food in minutes, rather than seconds - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Company-An...qid=1473955283&sr=8-1&keywords=green+dog+bowl There seem to be several types available now, though. Tuppence will try to swallow everything at top speed, so I haven't yet found any chews that she doesn't gulp down whole!
Kona has this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pet-Dog-C...-Anti-Slip-Gulp-Feed-Bloat-Dish-/162045400466 She used to eat so fast she would throw up. Now, finishing her meal takes decent amount of time (minute, not 10 seconds)
