So, the Dog Hog stainless steel ball arrived yesterday. Used it last night for her dinner and it helped slow her down a little. It was kind of funny to see her get frustrated trying to lick the bowl and push that ball around her bowl. She actually stopped, looked at us with a "How could you" look, then go back and roll that ball around more to get all her food. Hoping this continues to work.

Yes, I believe I will be doing that.

I hear you there. That would make me nervous as well. Hoping to order that ball tonight. Just need hubby's buy in (basically let him know I'm ordering it) so that he isn't completely confused when he opens the box. lol

My kids usually feed her, so I imagine that they do. I'm usually working or asleep. I need to change the feeding times so that I can take care of feeding her and make sure that she doesn't chew everything. We feed her separately from the older dogs because they have special food for their health issues, but once they are done eating, she is back with them. She started eating their bowls while we were on vacation. Our pet sitter didn't notice. /sigh/ I will check out those options.

Just to give a quick update. I ordered a slow feeder dish, and finally got it right before we left for vacation. So, we tried feeding her with it Saturday, when we got back. She ate half the bowl. She is fine, everything went through her system, but yeah, the special dish didn't work for her. So, will be trying the small ball trick next.

Thank you. Glad to know she'll likely grow out of it. I'll definitely check the articles.

I tried looking through the forum a bit, but didn't find this, though I'm sure it's there and I'm just struggling to find it. My estimated 4 month old puppy will pee when around humans. She isn't squatting, but because we have been teaching her sit, she'll sit and when she does, when she first goes to a human (any human) she pees a little. How do I correct this?

Hmmmm, that is a thought. Might try that.

Yes, I looked into the 'maze' bowls, but had not seen the Green Interactive Feeder. My concern with the maze bowls with raw is, of course, if she doesn't get all of her food, I then have raw food sitting there and we have a major ant problem this year. I will look into the Green Interactive Feeder. Thank you.

I have a 4 month old mix breed. She was a rescue whose mom died from poisoning when she was about a month old. We feed her 3 times a day, raw food diet (by recommendation). She gobbles everything down. We feed her separately from our older dogs so that there will not be any fighting over the food and by the time we've set the food down for the older dogs, she's done with her meal. We are feeding the recommended amount and she's gaining weight, but she just eats so fast that I'm not sure what to do. It's like she isn't getting enough food and we give her quite a bit. Her stools are good, and no visible worms in them, so I don't believe it is that. How can we slow her down?
