Dry kibble/water soaked
Hi y'all,
Thanks again to everyone for all of the great ideas on how to slow Buck down when he is eating. I am pleased to report, it worked. This afternoon, I began adding water to his dry food a little at a time, giving it plenty of time to soak in. I just fed it to him. The bowl felt like it weighed 10 pounds. He probably thought he was getting some extra. He did not make a sound while eating his food. No gasping and choking like he did when he ate dry kibble. His teeth are in great shape, so I have no problem with using this method to feed him from here on. He gets chewy bones that should help prevent tartar. I really appreciate all of the good ideas. Thanks to everyone. Be Free.....Judy |

He was making gasping and choking sounds when he ate? _________________________ Karla, I guess gasping is a little dramatic. He is my Lab, and he wolfs down his food. He has always done it, but he is 15 now, and I am always afraid that he is going to choke. He literally swallows his food whole. Mustang Sally originally mentioned putting water in her dog's food for the same problem (gulping down his food) Several people had other good ideas, putting a rock in his bowl, spreading dry kibble on a cookie sheet, even buying a special bowl with nubs in it, to slow his pigginess. I got a lot of good information out of that thread. I don't know which one it was in, probably the Muttley and his bone one? You can teach an old dog new tricks (me). Be Free.....Judy |
