lol. Love the heading. We have a friend we used to call pork chop! That's pretty much how my DS eats. She chokes& hacks all the time during training. We use a slow bowl and a Kong wobbler. She'd probably LITERALLY die if allowed to eat at will from a full bowl.DaHawaiianDS wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 11:27 pm Awwww! How old / current weight? We started at 11, went to 18 by second visit, 23 by third. I started slow feeding Kapena at 8 weeks in his crate to make it a happy place. I used the long puppy ball filled to the brim (we measured out how much our medium held) and then rest in an upside down bowl so he had to work for it. It definitely helped! Eventually we'll have to invest in a slow feeder but I had to find a way to slow him down because his idea of eating was bashing his open mouth into the bowl like a hungry hungry hippo and it went everywhere. Lol
My wife got it. Might even be from a dollar store. I keep describing it as "looking like a cat toy". Let me search for a link to something similar.DaHawaiianDS wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2017 2:23 am What kinda of slow feeders do you use? We improvised initially.

I was going to start adding side dishes like my favorite w/Pork Chops: Au Gratin Potatoes
Ok...I'm actually pretty upset that I didn't catch that. I'm usually keen on detecting a gap where I can insert my own sarcasm. I've been in a lot of pain from taking my back a couple weeks ago. I'll blame it on that. That said:
I remember you telling us that.

Is it made out of plastic? Part of the reason we use a heavy metal bowl is so he can't toss or flip it. I suspect this would go flying as well!

9 weeks/ 17 lbs.
like a hungry hungry hippo and it went everywhere. Lol
My pup is a bit more lady like. She east with medium gusto. She doesn't even finish the 1 1/2 cup of food every time at each feeding.TimL_168 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 11:52 pmThat's pretty much how my DS eats. She chokes& hacks all the time during training.

My Shiloh shepherd, Aurora is about 95 lbs. She's ten. If memory serves me, her twelfth week on the ground she gained 7-12.
